Kiddo, while I agree with your overall view, I find it funny that you had no idea which Newtonian era was. Both Fourier and Laplace were yet to be born when Newton died. Check Wikipedia or any source you would consider authentic. So, I don't see how Newton mastered Fourier or Laplace (transformation?)!
No point in talking about the kid anymore. He is a joke and everyone here seems to get that:)

To those who seem to wonder how people who "can't speak" English could score so high in GRE, the last time I checked, GRE doesn't test speaking ability.
There had been some cases of cheating in China, Korea, Taiwan and Hongkong, but overall if a student has scored very high in GRE verbal, he must have worked very hard to not let his poor speaking ability and unfamiliarity with English get in his way. I have seen several students in Nepal who got 100 in math in SLC, but were not terribly good in math in ISc and were beaten by friends who scored 80+ in SLC. All one can say is that when SLC exam was being taken, the guy who scored 100 performed better under pressure. To deduce that SLC is useless from some of these isolated incidences is nonsensical.
