I don't know about as smart as Newton or Einstein, but I would say Stephen Hawking is the closest we have today.

Anyone who understands the laws and theorems they proposed could be considered as "smart" as them meaning they possess the same knowledge. What makes Einstein and Newton so famous is the fact that they defied conventional thinking of their time. Many scientists like Hawking are just as smart they just haven't reinvented a new way of thinking about something like Newton and Einstein did.

i bypass to bypass with Newton. He have been given right here up with novel concepts and set approximately proving them. Einstein, even with if, explored concepts that have been already obtainable. He replaced into now not the 1st to have self assurance what he believed. He replaced into the 1st to declare it in a manner that extra desirable would desire to appreciate. Einstein somewhat prolonged on what Newton had conceived of devoid of the help that Einstein had Newton stored analyzing. Einstein replaced into so caught on proving that the quantum phsyics that he provided to the proper international replaced into incorrect, that he misplaced the psychological know of the entire physics community.

We all have the brains to be famous and all that. But one thing is we don't use our talents in the right way. Newton and Einstein did, anyway. I'll say it's Abdul Kalam of India! = D

Yes. Marilyn Vos Savant is probably smarter than both of them, with her IQ being recorded at 228, but she isn't reinventing the wheel or anything -- not like Newton & Einstein did. She's not even a theoretical physicist -- or even a physicist for that matter.

I would think that Bill Gates would qualify in that category. Look at what he came up with !!! You're using one. But there are many very brilliant people in this world - check out the scientists !
