Genius Requires Just the Right Mix
An anonymous reader writes "LiveScience has an interesting piece taking a look at how genius is rarely developed in a vacuum. From the article: 'The reality is that behind many scientific geniuses, there is at least one other genius, and often a number of them.' It takes much more than a genius pal or predecessor, however, to do great science, according to Simmons. Scientific advances emerge from social, economic and political conditions."
There's a very long string of famous , I'll use musicians that associated with each other (not necessarily directly, but they are all connected on a relatively small graph),beginning with Elvis and ending with me (lol). It includes Scotty Moore, James Burton, Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, and &, as well as the aforementioned two.
