Gauss did something along these lines and held back mathematical progress by decades.
- lupire 2y agoGauss had plenty of room for slack, giving people time to catch up on his work.. Every night Gauss went to sleep, mathematics was held back a week.
- JJMcJ 2y agoDuring his college/grad school days, he was going half nuts, ideas would come to him faster than he could write them down. Finally one professor saw what was happening, insisted that Gauss take some time off - being German that involved walking in the woods.
