This is the charming story of how a statistically unlikely encounter between two mathematical savants who may or may not be related, and how this unexpected meeting changed the course of humanity.

"I want to study Maths, mother! I want to study
Maths, Mother.” shouted this young, gangly
boy with oversized glasses. The two were
sitting in the New York City hyperloop station
waiting to board their vessel that would shoot
them, within just one hour across the entire
span of the United States. Their destination
was the entertainment capital of the world,
Los Angeles. The mother was modestly dressed
while the boy was wearing quite the eccentric
outfit, to say the least, including tiger-stripped
shorts, sunglasses, and a satin vest.

Sitting next to them on the platform was
Victoria Yonson, the wife of famed physicist,
Johanoson Yonson. This was years before the
threat of secession and the imminent great
way, and even more years before Yonson
would work on BNXH091. Victoria, a gifted
mathematician herself, was happy to hear
such zeal from young boy about a topic that is
often looked at with contempt by children his
age. She was reminded of both herself and her
husband, whom she had been next door
neighbors with since early childhood.

Victoria soon boarded her vessel and was
delighted to find that this mathematically-
inclined boy and her mother would also be
fellow passengers, of which there are only five
in these small lightning -quick capsules.

Once settled and seated the boy’s fervor to do
“maths” became even more intense, bordering
on hysterical. Victoria Yonson began to
wonder if the boy was ok or perhaps he
suffered from some sort of clinical fixation
with Mathematics. However, his wild
demeanor instantaneously calmed upon his
mother shoving an unabridged version of
Newton’s The Principia. Veronica, a math
prodigy herself, was quite dubious of this
entire situation.

How could young boy, no older than three years
old, understand equations and principles that
vast majority of University-educated adults
did not. She herself did not advance to Calculus
until the age of five. She continued to study the
boy closely and soon came to know that his
name, given the nematic still attached to his
backpack, was Anthony, Anthony Joseowitz.

What a wonderful boy and a wonderful talent.
She engaged in conversation with Mrs.
Joseowitz, or so she presumed was Mrs.
Joseowitz. After inquiring further about the
child, she discovered that the Joseowitz’s were
an admirable couple who had adopted a
number of orphans throughout the years. None
of them, however, were quite like Anthony.

Veronica then addressed Anthony, himself.
Anthony, as instructed by his mother, removed
his glasses and looked Veronica in the eye. She
was taken aback by what she saw. How could
this be she wondered?
