Have you ever thought about who is the most intelligent, talented and comprehensively developed person in the history of mankind? It is safe to call Leonardo da Vinci, but he is far from the only genius of our civilization. High intelligence is a double-edged sword. It can be both the greatest gift and a real curse for the person who possesses it. However, each of these people is a real person, despite complex destinies and complex relationships with surrounding individuals, fading against the background of such bright "stars". But do not be upset, the brain can be developed and “pumped up” with knowledge and skills. So take this list as motivation!

The most famous person is Albert Einstein

"Disheveled" symbol of the 20th century

Born in Germany, Einstein became a symbol of science and progress throughout the 20th century. His surname has become a household name for smart people. He is one of two theoretical physicists that almost anyone can name (the other is likely to be Stephen Hawking). During his life he wrote more than 300 scientific articles, but is also known as an ardent opponent of nuclear weapons (he regularly wrote letters to President Roosevelt warning the dangers of using atomic bombs). Einstein also supported the Jewish scientific development and stood at the origins of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

The IQ of a physicist is difficult to calculate accurately, since such studies were not conducted during his life, but his acquaintances and followers speak of a figure in the range from 170 to 190 points.
