Intelligence has nothing to do with the size of the brain, and Einstein proved it. Einstein was a man with a small forehead, not a man with a large forehead, so, relatively, he had a smaller brain—in fact, his brain was even smaller than the average size of the human brain.
The key to making Einstein particularly intelligent, and making many people smarter than others, is the ability of neurons in their brains to connect. The more you can connect, the smarter you get, and it has little to do with the natural size of your brain. Know that there are more than 20 times as many neurons in your brain as there are on Earth, and the more you make that large number of neurons come into contact with each other, the smarter you will be.
By the way, neurons are some of the longest-lived cells in our bodies, and some of them will even stay with you for the rest of your life. Teach you a way to understand the number of neurons in your brain: if you think of a piece of paper as one of your neurons, and then stack the paper, you will end up with a paper tower of 8,850 km high, 1,000 times that of Mount Everest.
Does the human brain work the same way as a computer?
It's very difficult to compare the human brain to a computer because they work in completely different ways. Computers work in a linear fashion, using their processors to perform a function at a time. Part of its speed comes from its ability to use huge amounts of memory. The brain contains a large number of —at 1 billion — processor-equivalent human neurons. They are interconnected and work together to perform the functions of the brain, and although they are also very fast, they are different from the systematic and orderly way of working in computers. That's why the brain is much faster at processing certain things like recognizing objects, colors, and sounds, while a simple calculator is far faster at processing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division than the human brain. The brain and the computer are completely different tools. Our logical thinking and creative activities are controlled by different cerebral hemispheres. The left hemisphere of the brain controls our understanding of numbers, language, and technology; the right hemisphere of the brain controls our understanding of shape, motion, and art.
Is the brain stored more than a computer?
This is an unanswerable question because there is no way to compare. Information in computers is stored in separate sectors, and the brain needs to perform its various functions by creating networks between neurons. Therefore, it is easy for a computer to measure the amount of storage it has, because you can calculate the separated sectors and measure them in terms of bytes. But the brain needs to constantly change the way it works inside as the needs exerted on it from the outside world change. In other words, there is no way to calculate it, and therefore no exact value can be given.
Is the human brain the largest on Earth?
Strictly speaking, the human brain is not the largest on Earth, the largest animal on the planet, the Blue Whale, has the heaviest brain, and it has a 6,000-gram brain to dominate its massive body equivalent to the weight of 25 elephants. Our brains are insignificant in comparison, but the ratio of the human brain to its own weight is greater than that of any creature on Earth, which may be why blue whales do not rule the world.
