Ahhh the age-old nature vs nurture debate. Here's my take on it all.
You are born basically a blank slate. Even your interests are not determined by genetics. You can train your mind to analyze in a number of methods. It will take a great deal of study before you will have the adequate background to pursue a degree in partical physics. It IS possible. The average individual is capable of far more than they believe they are. Even were an individual to have severe brain damage to the portion of the brain that is traditionally used for mathematical or abstract analytical skills, they are capable of retraining their mind to processing that information in a different sector. Such retraining is difficult, complicated, often requires the aid of a highly trained neurologist, but it IS possible.
But then again, I still maintain that the human being is capable of instantaneous space/time travel without the aid of a machine, so who would listen to me?
