India boy cracks 350-yr-old Newton puzzles

May 26, 2012 23:27

A 16-year-old Indian-origin 'genius' from Germany has managed to crack puzzles that had baffled the world of Maths for more than 350 years.

Shouryya Ray, from Dresden, has solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories which physicists have previously been able to calculate only by using powerful computers.

Shouryya has been hailed a genius after working out the problems set by Sir Isaac Newton. His solutions mean that scientists can now calculate the flight path of a thrown ball and then predict how it will hit and bounce off a wall, the Daily Mail reported.
