The Top Ten

1 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era, born in Salzburg.

He is one of the greatest composers and music prodigies of all time he has exceptional prodigical abilities at a very young age even he taught his father to play the piano with perfect note.It is a Colossus honor that he is one of the most greatest classical composers of all time it's a very great honor beyond him of his accomplishments and his music and career. - Kevinsidis

3 Albert Einstein Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.

Its even more surprising that he hated school. Somewhat understandable, considering you don't get to learn what you really want for the most part. - CrimsonShark

One of the greatest minds of physics even he has work with Nies Bohr Erwin schrodinger,paul M. Dirac,and Louis de Broglie his theories and equations are very easy to grasp that imagination has make me grasp into the infinite zone and yes I could see his orb his meaning of physics and the world and environment around him It's quite devastating that death has take him away while completing the theory that will shone upon people's eyes with a much brighter light. - Kevinsidis

He was a good student [never failed math], with an excellent talent for physics when young, but was far from a child prodigy. Was not really recognized for his knowledge until his late 20's, and did not truly contribute to the world's knowledge until his early 30's.
