Date: July 4th, 2025 6:09 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal Past, I'm sticking with Feynman.
Present, my vote goes to Penrose.
We don't have sufficient information to speak to the majority of mankind, so it's really not a meaningful question. |
|
Date: July 4th, 2025 6:10 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle shaky newt genital piercing Tao and Witten have strong cases over Penrose, but he's a great pick
Newton, Gauss amd Leibniz all strong contenders over Feynman, I think |
|
Date: July 4th, 2025 6:12 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal I think most peoples' answers will be biased by their own fields & areas of interest.
I really don't know anything Eastern, so my response to this question eliminates the majority of people right off the bat due to my own ignorance. |
|
Date: July 4th, 2025 6:14 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle shaky newt genital piercing See edit
Both Tao and Witten are American mathematicians |
|
Date: July 4th, 2025 6:24 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal Can we really speak to ancient peoples? So little of their work and others' views of them is extant. Their popularity and contributions may be more a function of momentum than objective truths... just look at any old religious book.
I'd argue even the likes of Newton or Leibniz are too old to speak of in the same way as modern people.
I actually don't know much about Witten. I bet most scientists don't have Feynman's charisma & ability to communicate, though. (Just flip through anything Penrose has written.) |
|
Date: July 5th, 2025 11:49 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle shaky newt genital piercing I think all of the above have enough written work to compare more than adequately (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746210&forum_id=2\u0026show=my#49075405) |

But newton was probably smarter. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2025 7:25 AM Author: obsidian at-the-ready black woman chapel Newton was probably smarter overall but Da Vinci was a genius in both the arts and the sciences and a true polymath.

Date: July 5th, 2025 11:47 PM Author: fuchsia psychic cruise ship I think Plato made the most profound intellectual impact, it is tough to say anyone is more impressive than that (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746210&forum_id=2\u0026show=my#49075396) |

|
Date: July 6th, 2025 4:33 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal A lot of writings (and the history of people) have been lost over the past 2.5k years.
There were also great contributions from India & the far East in classical & medieval times that most of us aren't aware of. (How many of us could name the author of Al-Jabr, let alone read it?)
We can speak of those the knowledge of whom is extant, or has been translated into our native language, but not so much to the 'most intelligent person ever.' |
|
Date: July 6th, 2025 5:14 PM Author: fuchsia psychic cruise ship all of that is true but at some point reality intervenes and somebody won, it was Plato, the entire tradition of western thought relies on him to this day, doing something that foundational is more impressive than theorizing some bullshit in physics that will likely turn out to have been wrong, he's a more influential figure in christianity that fucking christ for christsakes (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746210&forum_id=2\u0026show=my#49076859) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2025 7:19 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal Who's to say that the four contributors to QED won't go down as the most intelligent, influential people of the history of the world 2.5k years from now?
I would argue that the most influential individuals aren't necessarily the most intelligent. The further back in time we go, the more influential an individual becomes. Some kid in 2021 with a wacky GUT hasn't had 2.5k years to gain the infamy of a Plato.
Besides, could Plato even handle UG physics at CalTech today? (Conversely, could a CalTech grad today do what Plato did c. 500 BCE?)
Obviously, OP's question has no absolute answer, but it's still fun to argue. |

|
Date: July 6th, 2025 12:10 AM Author: Alcoholic step-uncle's house I think it has to be Newton, for coming up with calculus + figuring out all the aspects of practical physics.
The only other contender is Einstein, who on 2 occasions figured out things in physics that don't make intuitive sense at all. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2025 7:21 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal Counterpoint: The majority of Einstein's career was a pretty big failure. He's highly overrated (as far as the top minds go). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5746210&forum_id=2\u0026show=my#49077206) |

Date: July 6th, 2025 7:37 PM Author: azure bearded business firm sneaky criminal Yeah, I can't argue that. The EFEs are beautifully elegant.
