1. Thomas Edison
In terms of boiling a list down to the number one ranked Smartest people in history of the world, the battle between the most brilliant, won’t always lie in the lines of fancy inventions or theories etc. but purely on the basis on such a person’s reputation and how it passed through history and has changed the world for the better today. The toughest decision had to be made about who is the smartest people and especially when Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein are in competition with one and other, both cannot be compared and placed on a scale, however both of these geniuses and their discoveries interlink with one and other. Einstein has been placed second best but this doesn’t necessarily mean that Thomas Edison is smarter than him either.
To “shine light” on this and speaking of light, color wouldn’t exist without light firstly, at least not to the spectrum of the eyes. The world would have been In absolute dark ages even in this modern era, without Thomas Edison’s grand invention of the light bulb,the very first which was displayed to public viewing and that lit up which was said to be one of the best Christmas nights ever in that era, since the light bulb invention. Thomas Edison as opposed to Albert Einstein has been ranked number one on the list of the world’s smartest people in history, purely because his been the most responsible apart from everybody else to have created the modern shiny, lit up and glittery world that we reside in today.
Think about this very carefully. Without the invention of the light bulb, can you imagine how many things wouldn’t have been possible today? While Einstein’s, E-MC² would benefit people in the specific fields of Mathematics and Science, Thomas Edison’s invention of the Electric light bulb is to illuminate modern society for as long as civilization exists, then till now, and probably to eternity too if the human race and all we have to live for is preserved. Thomas Edison has been crafted by the hands of God himself to have given him the gift of such a discovery.
2. Albert Einstein
People throughout centuries or more especially modern society would probably render Albert Einstein as one of the smartest people in history. Really who could blame such people for thinking so, seeing that this particular common norm has been cast in stone by the common perception of people globally and they are allowed to think so.
A simple sounding equation such as: E=MC² can come across as rather intimidating to the average minded person who may be mathematically ignorant. To crack down E=MC² formulated by Albert Einstein, it simply means:
Energy Equals to Mass times the Speed of Light Squared. To further boil this down to you, it primarily means to say that by theory energy can be measured and is double the velocity of the speed of light or the force of energy is greater than speed. Power is everything after all. He has been rendered as the most well-known and influential scientist of the 20th Century.
Einstein’s name has also been subsequently linked to and referred to as a word of its own in popular culture and urban language. Example if somebody calls somebody an Einstein, it can be regarded as one of the most magnanimous and highest of compliments ever indicating that such a person is brilliant with endless creativity.
3. Sir Isaac Newton
Here we welcome another Mathematician with a slight twist of where his prime intelligence and passion lied primarily in scientific intellects. Ever heard of Neutrons? Yes! You’ve guessed it, the ground breaking idea that Isaac Newton had has revolutionized the laws of physics and has been built purely on the laws of gravity too theorized with simple examples such as :an apple falling from the tree, pen from a desk etc.
Yet still with revolutionary impact. Newton’s mind worked so brilliantly that he was able to, by his own findings and analysis of the world ,determine the earth’s axis precession all in direct combination to the sun, planetary motion and tidal waves and how each one corresponds with its individual action and occurrence.
When people understand the world through Newton’s theoretical aspects and points of view, it becomes perfectly understood and makes absolute sense at the very same time. A man can make a ground breaking discovery, but in most cases, how long exactly does it continue to be on the minds of people or to play on the curiosity of those who take interest to the subject?
It usually lasts a decade now in modern time until it dies off into a simpler concept that requires less explaining, while these men made history, and their discoveries lingered for more than 2 centuries and some flying decades till this very day, it’s not very easy to make a timeless impact on the basis of one theory, idea or invention as great as these men managed to impossibly do, creating an endless amount of possibilities at the same time. A constant supply to feed the minds of interest, lasting decades if not centuries more.
4. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
For decades, school kids, university level students, and others have had a major problem when it came to logic and especially all the rules of Mathematics in general. They found and still find it somewhat difficult beyond some usual levels of comprehension to solve a Math’s problem with the method that’s already been established and taught for each specific problem, but can you imagine how mind wrecking it may be to actually have the brain so powerful to actually invent mathematical aspects?
Gottfried, being a logicist, he has managed to use most parts, if not all of his working brilliant brain to be an independent inventor of Integral Calculus. As mind wrecking as just the words “integral calculus” may sound to the average Joe, it is unimaginable the amount of mind wrecking in one man’s mindset it might have taken to be methodizing this as part of a mathematical subject.
There is a powerful mind in everybody who discovers and constantly develops it .Just a bit of history shared, in case you have come into encounter with somewhat ‘scary calculus’ during your time at school or in university etc. Gottfried has been in persistent development of a theory that “God constructed the universe in such a way that corresponding mental and physical events occur simultaneously” and so wanted to boil this down to a formal symbolic system which lead to his great invention of Algebra or Calculus of thought by bringing all things to be solved by calculations by simply using a method.
5. Galileo Galilei
A man who could build Telescopes, directive mediums for Military and to have had an engineering mindset that revolutionized science and took it to an extreme new level than it was in that time, to have influenced how people see the universe by his theories and philosophies of Astronomy and how it governs our birth signs which determines what happens, when it will happen in our lives, who it may happen to etc.
Can most surely be given credit for being one of the smartest people in history and with no doubt he was. While others used their intelligence to carve sculptures out of a plain block of wood, or to see a blank piece of canvas and to paint a timeless masterpiece or to use their intelligence to gain control of an entire country and run it down by abuse of personal interest and use, Galileo has used his god gifted brain to analyze, understand and to change the perceptions of mankind by his methods and mindset.
His main field of expertise and brilliance lied in the cosmos, understanding the universe. The universe in terms of astronomy (stars, the sun, planets) and everything else beyond the sky that cannot be seen or easily understood by the naked eye, is what Galilei specialized and revolutionized in. Not any fool of any era could just understand things that happen billions of kilometers beyond our heads as Galilei attempted and succeeded in managing to do so.
He most certainly had a universal mindset and all this to be done without the convenience of NASA’s space technology we have at our disposal today. He saw beyond the stars.
