Who do you think was the smartest person ever?

Names that come to mind for me are Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Sir Isaac Newton, Rene Descartes, Marie Curie, Johannes Kepler, Immanuel Kant, Alexander Von Humboldt, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

@Rakbladsvalsen Excellent choices.

In terms of ideas that were well removed from their era, DaVinci and Nikola Tesla stand alone (Hawking might one day be there too, but too soon to know...)

@Shade70 DaVinci was astounding. One of my favorite historical figures.

What? No Socrotese? No Aristotle? No Higgs Bozon?
No Groofy Dorkgerdo?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Groofydorkgerdo Uh...Higgs Bozon wasn't a person, you're thinking of Peter Higgs, who theorized the Higgs boson.

Although from your intentional misspelling of Socrates I think you miiiiiight be joking 😏 Same with you putting your own name in there lol
Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M

Bobby Fischer... chess rearranged his thinking at a young age to always be 100 steps ahead of people. The madness of excellence i suppose

Quite possibly William James Sidis who had an IQ in excess of 250 and it may have even approached 300...
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Quizzical Unfortunately his IQ was either never tested or those test results were lost to history, because the claims of his extremely high IQ were made after his death by his sister. Regardless, he was a child prodigy in both languages and maths, which says a lot.
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@BlueMetalChick To be honest there is much more to intelligence than IQ... Stephen Hawking has an IQ of 160, which is actually 8 points lower than my own... So it's more about what you do with it than just having it.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Quizzical Fair point.
