- Einstein, Smartest Man Alive ? -
Einstein was once asked how it felt to be the smartest man alive.
Einstein's reply was: " I don't know, you'll have to ask Tesla."
Einstein is not the smartest
Tesla anyone? I mean, Einstein himself said Tesla was a genius. invented AC power, remote control, predicted the internet, predicted wifi, predicted wireless electricity, predicted drone warfare, invented the telsa coil. He even invented the fluorescent light bulb in the time between being announced as the person to light the worlds fair, and the actual worlds fair. And I'm not even talking about the crazy death ray stuff yet.
Hourglass Of Time also predicted the cellphone
Hourglass Of Time Actually he technically made the first Wireless vehicles as a tiny boat
predictions mean shit...inventing is what matters...proving is what matters....and FYI most the predictions you listed are only possible because of Einstein's work....
Tesla's IQ is equivalent to Steven Hawking at worst, roughly 160
However, Tesla's best even beats William James Sidis' best by 10 points
So I definitely think he is either one of the best inventors of all time, or the person with the highest IQ to have ever lived
she made the whole video to show some women lol. she ignored many smart men for some women ........
NIKOLA TESLA pretty much invented everything you use today in society, yet history books always neglect him.
He blows away everybody on this list simply because he is one person who changed the world so drastically.
Nicholas Tesla should have been in the list, one of the geniuses that really has a considerable contribution to the field of science.
Nikola Tesla accomplished more than all 15 combined!!
the only worthy opponent is da vinci
Where the fuck is Nikola Tesla
Djole yeah
No actually where am i
Not here because his stuff may have been smart but he was not alp that, he did propose the ether but it was never proven, his free energy ideas are limited by many factors and he also barely slept so his mind would have been reduced to hell without proper rest
Generally his ideas were limited by money, he also tended to spout crazy ideas too like he was a conduit for aliens.He also had a "best friend" that was a pigeon near the end of his life. He really was ahead of his time, he did speak a ton of languages and he is the reason we use alternating current instead of direct current like Edison wanted.He was smart, but maybe not the smartest person that ever lived.
he got duped by Edison, he can´t be that smart
Love ur narration Melissa :)
0:49 Teaching math....*PROCEEDS TO SHOW A BLACKBOARD WITH PSYSICS LAWS*
I love ur channel
Luv u guys btw good vid
Uh, I don't see Ronald McDonald on this list.
XxJigsaw_GamesxX XD
That because he is to smart be pay to be on the list.
XxJigsaw_GamesxX Ronald mcdonald is the smartest person ever
Bruh his iq level is .0000000000001
SCOTTY BEHM wrong too.
Nice work
These guys must be rick and morty fans
Burney_Games heh
Nah these guys are too i n t e l l i g e n t and c u l t i v a t e d to watch Rick and Morty!
They all binge watch Xavier Renegade Angel 24/7
Only geniuses throw temper tantrums over szechuan sauce at McDonalds.
Burney_Games dead meme
BMAN488877 research is required to make sure.
No Göthe, Kubrick, Tesla, Newton, Descartes, Jung... But then again you can't rank the smartest people ever to live.
InkyyyTV I'm glad that Edison is not on here
Alexander Wolford His best idea was stealing ideas
Alexander Wolford no, just no... he was stealing them... its weird how apple fanboys use the same excuse for apple stealing ideas. also, because of tesla you have electricity, if everyone used the kind of electricity edison wanted to use, the range would be too short and because of the prices that that would cost everyone would stop even trying to make it work.
Alexander Wolford 1. its good that you prefer microsoft 2. tesla made a huge amount of inventions and some probably arent even discovered. edison wanted to use a type of electricity that flows in one direction, but that gives a really short range, tesla discovered two way electricity by changing the magnetic field of a coil, and thats how generators work, tesla made all of that even before knowing edison, and edison literally improved nothing. some people still think that edison was the "genius" who managed to transport electricity... but thats not correct. in conclusion, he didnt make edisons idea better because of how different the two types of electricity are and because of how much earlier tesla was working on his theory
Alexander Wolford nope. he kind of invented the lightbulb, but it only lasted for like 14 hours or something like that. also, one way electricity was not used a lot if at all because of the inefficient transportation
So sad when you don't see yourself on this list 😭
Prestons Willis I don’t really deserve to be on this list
Prestons Willis people with half of Einsteins iq should figure out the list is bullshit. What i said is too because there is absolutely no way to compare normal humans to him as his "job" is uncomparable. You could see if you are a better violin player if you are practised.
great video
What about Nikola Tesla he is much smarter than others
Ah yes you*re right I forgot that Leonardo Da Vinci took an IQ test once. They also forgot Göthe who is considered to be one of the all time smartest man to ever live.
a quote from Albert Einstein" reporter: how does it feel to be the smartest man in the world?
Albert Einstein: I don't know ask Nikolas tesla. "
Sidis's IQ was never tested either.Also i don't know where people get their information , but the highest IQ you can get is 200 on a 13 dimensional test which no one has ever gotten, the highest is 194 from a guy in Iran named Abdesellam Jeloul or something like that if i'm not mistaking.
UXDmainuser 02 yeah
Actually where am i
This list is wrong, but all these people saying Tesla because of Einstein's quote is pathetic. Tesla doesn't crack top 15, neither do most of these.
The top 10 will certainly include: Gauss, Euler, Newton, Terry Tao, Hilbert, Galois, Cauchy
Finally, someone mentioning Euler and Gauss. It has been mentioned that Gauss would have put the world 50 years ahead in mathematics if he had released his work. Laplace and Lagrange would be honorable mentions as well.
What triggers me most is seeing Judit Polgar on 6th. She is only like a top 50 chess player currently (Is this just to have a woman on the list?) Surely players like Morphy, Karpov, Fischer or Magnus would be above her.
+Lasse Andersen yeah, I agree it was just to have a woman on the list. I think just about any world champion should place above Judit Polgar, the ones you mentioned also Capablanca, Tal, Lasker and a personal favourite of mine, Ivanchuk.
I love ur videos
Y'all dropped the ball on this one, Tesla had an IQ estimated between 160- 310. Also, Plato, Socrates, and Newtown, Jung, ect. I mean come on y'all. Hell even Benjamin Franklin should be on this list too! He was a genius!
Noam Chomsky? That blowhard? He does deserve some credit, but is given much more credit than is due, not to mention that he in fact held the science of linguistics back, from which it had to recover. Also, his understanding of economics, something he writes about too much, is quite pedestrian.
Einstein is too often reported as being between 160 - 190, but it was 160.
Leonardo DaVinci (Which means “of Vinci, so is not really a last name,) is credited for a lot more than what he really created. People finally realized that most of the radical inventions in his notebooks was simply him making notes of the work of others. Since his work was preserved, those other works were forgotten, and he never mentioned that they were ideas from other people, simply because he didn’t need to in his own notes. Genius yes, but way more celebrated because of this faulty information. He is given credit for the works of over a hundred people, exploding his perceived intelligence.
And finally, William James Sidis was treated as a sideshow freak. His parents who “created” him refused to actually test his IQ, preferring to spread stories. Later they listed his IQ as 252, even though there was no record of him ever taking an IQ test, and in believed that this number really came from his placement in a civil service test where he placed 252nd. (There is a record of that.) Which if he was that smart he would not have placed so low.
Sorry I was too lazy to research everyone listed here.
Hey, Danger Dolan. Send my thanks to Melissa. She's a great and cute narrator. :3 :3 :3
I have a cousin that was offered a job teaching physics at Texas A&M, but turned it down for a job as a civilian consultant for the US navy. He basically checks their math and tells them where they're wrong. He's 28 and he's done more with his life than I'll ever achieve.
Planet Dolan is Awesome
And here we see that intelligence means nothing without determination or the drive to use it. Seems that nearly every modern-day genius has wasted their gifts on a simple life.
Yeah, I guess I'm old-fashioned. I belong to an age that says if you've been gifted, it's your responsibility to use your gifts to make a better world. Or at the very least, try. Outside of philosophy, how many truly gifted individuals from the late 20th century to the early 21st are there who didn't waste away their gifts and talents? A whole $#@%load clearly did, and good luck being able to name anyone who didn't. I come from a time when laziness and apathy was considered a bad thing. Especially if it was clear that someone was chosen for a higher calling than simply a quiet, lazy life in obscurity.
I don't know about you, but if I was bullied for having a gift of intelegence, or forced into expectations I didn't want by so may other people at such a young age. With no time to think about myself and what I want to do.
The pressure would make me want to be left alone as well and live quietly.
We live in a time where intelegence and other talents are bullied and manipulated.
+Hazel Fuller
You want life to be easy? Yeah, I was bulled too. Didn't cause it to shrink away from life or responsibility. Geniuses are different but they're not made out of delicate glass.
NGMonocrom not saying things should be easy, I know that full well. But there is always a limit.
+Hazel Fuller
Honestly, the old saying "Living well is the best revenge" is absolutely true. When you give up and just hide away from the world living an obscure quiet life, that's when the stupid, ignorant bullies win. That's when they beat you. And again, geniuses from older generations as a whole didn't let the bullies win. Clearly, made of sterner stuff. Those were the ones who are now respected and admired long after their deaths. Their bullies died in obscurity. Forgotten by the world. The modern day geniuses have chosen to follow their bullies into forgotten obscurity.
WHERE'S NIKOLA TESLA!!!
Being smart does not bring happiness but makes you more stressful because you think more about all of the possible situation instead of living your life.
Arron FERNANDEZ UK. he gained a GCSE in maths with an A* at five years old in an exam for 16 year olds.He went to Cambridge to study maths at 15 the youngest undergraduate since Pitt the younger in 1773.He graduated as the the senior wrangler aged 18 years 0 months the youngest ever, meaning he was top in the hardest undergraduate exam in the world at the youngest age. Some previous noble prize winners who didnt top this exam were Bragg, Hardy, Russell and Keynes
Ahum
Where. Is. Nikola. Tesla?
really no Tesla
I hope the person who wrote this was not paid
"...best known living scientist.." right in the feels...
Who makes a list about smart people and then not include Sir Isaac Newton and Nikola Tesla?
My cornhub account make six figures
When you find out that she is a HE
That profile pic is so true though
When you find out that she is a HE WTF
Lol
When you find out that she is a
Corn?
alot of cory in the house fans
THE BEST ANIME IN THE HISTORY IF THE UNIVERSE BB!
AdvictoriamProductions 145 you right
These super smart people were awesome!
And also had some crazy moments in their lives!
This was an awesome video had no clue that so many smart people lied
2 plus 2 is 4, minus 1 that's 3, quick maths.
-Timmy Turner.
Jake Berango QUIK MAFFS
Jake Berango let me guess you were raised on rick and morty too
Barely seen the show, to be honest. Just know the memes like Szechuan sauce, Pickle Rick, and "IQ over 200".
Jake Berango I didn't think there was anyone on earth that found that funny
I mean 30 yay
#16
The guy that invented that orange Lego stick that removes the two Lego bricks that are practically impossible to remove by hand
I’m lucky enough to be considered ‘gifted’ but now I feel dumb
LIGHTNING SPEED NOTIFICATIONS you guys bacc at pd are smart
Ayeee I’m back too.
It’s a shitting bull whats with the your profile picture
emh 2dogs THE INTERNET IS WEIRD AS SHIT
Srinivasa Ramanujan?
Here before my notifactions
6:19
that's Latvia Jelgava I go by it a lot
Here's a little factoid. Albert Einstein had dyslexia. Bill Gates has autism.
zimmygirl777 So what does that make me with A.D.D
Gates has Asperger's, not full-blown autism.
I have autisum Bill Gates has autism Dan Harmon has autisum.
50/50 chance we all have autisum.
TBustah but Aspeger's is the same as autism get you facts straight.
TBustah do you know people who have autism does have an developmental disability not an intellectual one.
Before 40 views gang
molluskwithclothes here
molluskwithclothes I was number 30
16: Fi.
When you realize you’re the only person who doesn’t hate Fi.
Creepy Jar of Money Your Wii remote is about to die
Some geniuses also have enough common sense to know what they want and what they don't. Truly smart.
What happen to Nicola Tesla???? All wrong...
Hawkins is not living anymore
Forget 15 Smartest People That Have Ever Lived I am just hear to for Melissa
William James Sidis is perhaps the only man who would have truly understood Rick and Morty.
The typical Rick and Morty fan would dominate these people's IQ you know
Why aren’t I️ on the list?
Just kidding. :(
What the hell does a 8 year old do at frikin NASA
The first one is my favorite, I love when super smart people use their powers to help others. x3
The 19th yay
No Isaac Newton or Aristotle? WTF list is this?
@Alexander Wolford You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about do you? You just assume that this is the case and go with it as facts spreading misinformation to others.
Aristotle hahahaha you dumb!
What he does?
The list says "ever lived", not "in IQ recorded history"
I dunno, the dude woke up one day and invented logic. No big deal.
Smartest scientific man who ever lived was Aristotle. Everything he said has been proven wrong.
You left off Katherine Johnson. She actually accomplished something in the real world being used as a computer to help NASA get into space.
What about Nikola tesla
No nikola tesla and no newton
Centurion X completely disagree with you. Euler was by FAR the greatest mathematician to ever step foot on this planet. You can’t even compare him with Newton... Tesla on the other hand was the greatest engineer to ever live. Newton though was just a physicist ahead of his time who was brilliant comparing him to the people of his time but comparing him to Tesla or Euler is flat out pathetic. I’m guessing you haven’t taken high level math classes if you think calculus was all Newtons idea too. Most of the notation Newton used was very impractical and Leibniz’s was just way better. Also, I could argue that if Newton was never born we would probably only be a couple dozen years behind technologically but if Euler wasn’t born we would be hundreds of years behind since a lot of the Math needed for computer science was actually discovered by Euler.
Centurion X you are probably from America cuz you don't know what the fuck are you talking about.TESLA IS THE REASON WHY YOU CAN USE THAT PHOE YOU WROTE THAT CRAP ON.HE IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE ELECTRICITY.THOMAS ALVA EDISON IS NOT,TESLA IS SO SHOW SOME RESPECT TO HIM
Centurion X you are telling me(a guy from Croatia where we learn about him) to do some research.Bro Tesla invented AC power you idiot.Think what you wan't books don't lie
How did they forget Newton? Not only did his book Principia Mathematica set down most of the laws of physics, he invented calculus.
Marilyn vos Savant was spot on by saying the IQ test was meaningless.
Do u kno da way
I have No name he doesn't know the way and disrespected the queen join me brother and spit on him *qghhhhh tuuu*(spitting)
De qeen nos da way
Ha
No Carl Friedrich Gauss, or Nikola Tesla? Their demonstrated genius will be remembered long after most individuals on this list are forgotten.
Pretty sure John von Neumann and Alan Turing should belong to this list...
"A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points." -Alan Kay
You said that No.1 could speak Amaranian, do you mean Armenian?
Maybe she meant Pomeranian? ;-)
300 ok
He watched rick and Morty
Forgot about William Hunting , a genius-level IQ but chose to work as a janitor at MIT... how about them apples?
Can't wait for the
"But I should be on this list"
Comments
No Nicola Tesla, all ivy league and oxbridge, academical sheep, sad countdown, major fail Dolan.
Alexander Wolford so your telling me that Leonardo Da Vinci took one since he is on this list? There are tons of other people that should have been on here such as Goethe, Newton, etc.
Alexander Wolford that estimation is applicable to most people I mentioned. We never got to know Da Vinci on a personal level, only through his works and inventions, so why not do the same for them? Goethe had hundreds and thousands of written works and theories, not to mention an autobiography he himself wrote. Newton on the other hand may not have much written works about himself but has proven so many scientific phenomena through his research that it isn't farfetched to call him the key figure in scientific revolution of modern physics.
Alexander Wolford i mean, he just discovered a way to make electricity go a longer way and made a few hydro power plants during his lifetime while planning on making a way to transport electricity wirelessly... nothing special, defintely something that a person with an average iq could do...
Luka Dobrilović you mean Tesla?
Jiyan Razon yep
Do u know da way
David Wittibslager I have No name he doesn't know the way and disrespected the queen join me brother and spit on him *qghhhhh tuuu*(spitting)
Fuck the queen, fuck the way and fuck that shitty meme! No further responses from me!
Brothers do u all know da way
Kill kill why r you running
David Wittibslager Shut up!!
If these guys where teachers at my school all the kids would say how stupid they are behind their backs just because they're failing
Yoshikage Kira must be a genius-- he just wants to live a quiet life.
number 1 lil pump
and Molly was a amazing study on qunantom physics
At only 2 months old, Lil Pump becomes the youngest to finish college
What about me?
Donald Trump The list is smartest people, not the most Elusive.
Donald Trump if you were the smartest person that ever lived, it would be fake news.
You're a very stable genius.
Trump is like the smartest person in a special education class he is the smartest but still learning impaired.
Obnoxious Physicist That prize goes to Robert Denby anyway.
Tesla and Newton should be on the list. Honorable mentions would also include Carl Sagan, Christopher Hitchens, and Powder (the albino dude).
As a kid, I read that Emanuel Swedenborg probably had the highest IQ of famous scientists. But he wasn't just a scientist. I don't know if he was the smartest, but he was interesting.
i watch rick and morty
depression joke lol ok
XD
Hi
lego PS4 hey!!
Hi
Gauss, Euler, newton. No, some chess player that never won anything is top 15. And some office workers.
"Died of brain haemorrhage at the age of 46"... Ironic, I would say.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! No Tesla!!! he was without a doubt the smarrest man ever. fot god sakes, how can you not mention him! how can he not be number one.
At least him or Da vinci. It's a disgrace she placed Da vinci so Low. He was the ultimate renaissance man, a man of truly great holistic intelligence.
bladebison well the more you read into da Vinci the less smart he seems. The opposite can be said for Tesla or Newton.
I am smarter out of all of them I am holding a tablet
CWC]DylanDino2017] דילן די year I also have pc better then hawkings laptop
cousin chaos What's your memory rate?
Kevin Miller I remember stuff like my birthday and my password and how much I am in debt
I humbly regret I do not make the list.
It’s gets me how they can suppose the IQ of people who never took the test. Most geniuses are brilliant in one area and lacking in another, so their total IQ may not be as high as other more rounded individuals.
Why isn't Lil Pump on this list? At the age of 16, he dropped out of Harvard just to save the rap industry
theres no saving that industry.
He only has 142 IQ, that's very high, but that's not a world record.
Nicola Tesla was 3-4 times as smart as the smartest guy included here. Einsten was not even any particularly smart, there is plenty of evidence to point to him as just moderately smart. He was not a good student, he was a cheater (cheating is often a sign of smart-enough-but-not-really-very-smart brain since the very smart simply require no cheating to achieve their end targets).
Just to understand the volume of the brain of Nicola Tesla, he was able to develop in his brain ideas that had never been expressed in the past, out of the blue, then develop them (.. in his brain always!), then built and assemble them in all their complexity with all their parts and sub-assemblies (... in his brain always!!!!), and then put them for testing (.... in his brain, ... yes... in his brain...!!!!!!!!) and while doing all that then finding out how to improve them, i.e. doing in his brain what others would require whole teams of developers, designers, manufacturing engineers and test-teams to figure out. As such by the time he was ordering the manufacturing of his inventions, the inventions were surprisingly mature requiring little more improvements for a first-of-a-kind devices.
I think you need to read some books on Tesla that tell the whole story and not just fan-boy rants.
Fully superior mind that we can not even to imagine
I'll have to just correct, Einstein was actually a fairly good student. His grades weren't bad at all (he excelled in mathematics, physics & chemistry) and had decent grades for the rest.
John Dee was the most learned man on the entire planet at one time....
Once again, the man that made all this possible, Nikola Tesla does not receive even an honorable mention. Shame
NICOLA TESLA !!
Not one black person at all?? Huh
Heru Sun let me guess you are gonna say blacks are stupid on the internet when hiding behind your monitor but wont do shit in real life?
Heru Sun I’m black and muh is IQ 190
Oh god I can already here the flame war
I'm a 16 year old black female with an IQ of 167 lol, I'm taking college classes.
MIT! MY BRO GOES THERE!
I thought Hawking said his theory of blackholes was incorrect.
Early
A pickle has a higher IQ than me.
The more i learn the more im humbled by my finite capacity.. i wish i could do what these people do..
you forgot obama. wait you said smartest. lol
