The Clone Paradox



Hi Everyone
I am no quantum physicist or a biologist but this thought troubles me often that what if a Scientist clones himself with better IQ?
As common sense suggests that the same scientist with better IQ will be more efficient and in turn discover things in a quicker fashion but is it that simple as it sounds may be or may be not.

Firstly lets consider the case of the greatest mind human civilization arguably ever witnessed Albert Einstein who if by any chance had ever considered worthy enough to experiment on cloning techniques and surgery and lets assume that he succeeded in improving or replacing a section of his brain with better cerebral material or increased his grey matter before he set his eyes on quantum physics and vastness of universe what exactly would have happened?

Logically speaking he would have arrived at the results like E=MC@2 much before he actually did apart from this he would have experimented a lot more which would have ultimately resulted in much bigger revelations but the question is for how long?
that is to say when could this cycle have ceased from snow bowling into bigger and bigger discoveries.

An intelligent guess would be that as the genetic diversity would have not got enriched among the cloned Einsteins therefore scientific revelations after then would have depended upon time and resources available to experiment rather than the real intelligence which stemmed from sheer randomness.
But what could happened or what could have happen can only be speculated or isn't it?
