Top Ten Smartest People Living in 2013
A ranking of the ten smartest people alive (in reactive existence) in 2013.He's perfectly smart and intelligent. He is a true champion that too with ALS!
Totally agree. This man has some serious brain muscles!
Extremely Smart. Intelligence Quotient must be around 160 to 170.
He's humble and kind which would be the first quality that IQ requires. Regarding string theory and his ability to demonstrate the beauty and harmony of mathematical formulas, he concentrates on the present questions more so than the past.The past is relevant as well, but what we mostly know so far are approximations of the whole. He embraces the uncertainty principle in a variety of his views and is leading the science community by example. Whether in theory, the lab, or stretching uncertainty, he represents the capacity of what humans should become. Thank you Edward for all you do.
Evidence of Edward Whitten's true brilliance is very simple to find in that he is the most highly revered physicist by the vast majority of other brilliant people in the field of physics. I think it is fair to say that anytime a group composed of 100s of the most elite minds on earth say that Ed is the most intelligent person... he most likely is!
He has dominated Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics for decades, discovered laws of weak and strong interactions. In fact, almost everything what we know today about forces in universe formulated by him starting at a very early age. He has also influenced some other areas of modern sciences such as linguistics. Quantum Chromodynamics and quarks are his inventions. Hands down, he is the smartest man alive (even Richard Feynman could not compete with him).
One of the greatest scientists in the world in 2013. Like Marie Curie, he won two Noble Prize, but unlike Marie Curie, his contribution to the world is by far greater than her. Radium and Polonium? I would say the radiation effect wasn't discovered by her and the discoverers of Oxygen and Hydrogen are greater than her.
Famously turned down the Fields Medal, after solved the Poincare conjecture in 2006, the most famous open problem in topology.
Bill Gates did not change the way people live. Steve Jobs did. Bill Gates may have invented the Windows, and Apple may be overrated, but Steve Jobs beat Bill Gates to it.
Just so you no, first guy, Steve jobs is DEAD
Changed the way people live
Former child prodigy; cited with IQ of 211-230; known for: mathematics, green "tao theorem; Fields Medal age 31; SuperScholar.org Top 10 Smartest Person Alive (2012).
Very smart man
His financial intelligence is that of a genius
Raised by a illiterate single mother he would go on to become one of the most celebrated neurosurgeons of the world; director of pediatric neurosurgery of Johns Hopkins by 33; and in 1987, made medical history by being the first surgeon in the world to successfully separate siamese twins (the Binder twins) conjoined at the back of the head.
He proved that a negative background can never stop one from becoming the best, considering that he and his brother were raised by a single depressed mother who was illiterate and who supported her family through working as a domestic worker.
Not only smart but an overabundance of common sense

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with... read more
