Im just curious if you people believe that persons of incredible brilliance ALWAYS feel themselves drawn to the fields of theoretical physics or mathematics?

This probably is a VERY ILLOGICAL assumption isnt it??

Depends, brilliant minds have to be challenged or they will become bored and go insane. Nothing can challenge them like the hard sciences do. Also, people can excel in physics and math simply by thinking about the problem. This is not the case in other fields. Experiments, money, business, and numerous other problems can slow down progress. It is easiest to identify brilliance in physics/math.
