its not that great im Eienstein’s great grandson and im almost finished with making milk a gas to run on for cars, its better than his inventions
He is not an Einstein, because Zhuge Liang surpass Einstein. He was a genious and he also could foresaw events. He was a mathematical genious, and military genious. Making milk a gas to run on for cars will never be compared to his inventions, because nowadays, we have tecnology that Zhuge and the ancient China didn’t have.
kongming lantern is really beautiful. i like it.
um… not to be critisizing you einstein but, are you really einstein’s great grandson?? whoahh… if you are, that’s so coooll :] good luck on your experiment. and again, not trying to hurt you but, i think it’s best not to critisize Zhu Ge Liang’s inventions. they’re small but they are useful. except for the crossbow thingy, it’s illegal… o-o anyways.. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR INVENTIONS EINSTEIN :DD

The comparison of the genius of Einstein and Zhu Ge is a erroneous one. A more correct analogy of that ‘mindset of intelligence’ would be of Leonardo Da Vinci not Einstein. And realising this immediately eliminates the need for ‘who was better’, just be thankful that the gene pool sometimes throws up a cracker, in this case, a Chinese cracker
they made alot inventions
they have a lot of inventions
he is awsome
so what did you invent in short kid friendly words not 2 be offenseve or anything.
Zhuge-Liang’s inventions was made in 181AD-234AD, while he was teaching AncientChinesePeople the art of defence & protect. His inventions were good and effective. People spread His inventions to central-Asians, People in central-Asians learn from Zhuge-Liang and His Inventions in 200AD-1900AD, people in central-europe learn Zhuge-Liang’s Inventions in 1300AD-1900AD, these people include east-europeans, north-europeans, central-europeans, italians, french, dutch, germans, spanish, west-europeans, Jews, …, these results in many 1600AD-1900’s inventions base-on Zhuge-Liang&AncientChinese inventions and inovations.
Einstein is a goof. Look at his grammar usage. He’s just some silly kid being a smartazz.
p.s. He didn’t even spell ‘Einstein’ correctly…
