That's not the point of his comment, there's a lot of work involved in understanding all the subjects mentioned above. By the time I was 15, I was able to do problems in real analysis (sans measure theory), Fourier Analysis (like electrical engineers, I'm still not doing this as a mathematician), some amount of multi-variable calculus, differential equations(ODEs not PDEs) and complex analysis (again like engineers). But I didn't learn all that in a week it took me many months. Of course I don't doubt what the kid's done but, I doubt that he did it in a week.

damn, I meant: "if it wasn't for the title, it would have taken some time for me to figure out that it was *not* an actual bird :D" PS: does slashdot have a problem if I reply to my comment immediately? It complained about me not having access to the "resource"

Actually, I believe that technically Mercury is more earth-like than Mars is, in terms of composition, magnetic field, etc. It's just that it's small, hot as shit (not as bad as venus actually though, surprisingly), and lacking much in the way of an atmosphere.

I don't find that surprising really... green house effect can be quite intense.
