terence tao might have a shot, but is he really on the same level as newton, or davinci?

von neumann was, and possibly more. his genius was immeasurable.

like when you think of a comic book definition of a super genius mastermind, he is the template for all of them. he is the base for people like ozymandias from watchmen.

the guy ticked every box on the genius list. every single one.

to put it into perspective, this guy was the person people like einstein and fucking godel would go to for math help, and he wasnt even working in those fields. he was that fucking good. even richard fucking feynman considered him to be on a completely different level.

guy was a fucking giant among giants, and this thread physically angers me that he is not even mentioned.

calable of extremely fast mental calculation of obscenely complex mathematical problems (he was faster than the computers of the time, in his fucking head), and had an eiditic memory even better than kim peek's (rain man).

the guy literally defines superhuman intelligence.

its too bad his death was so tragic. his intelligence was godlike, and yet at the end, his disease took it from him, literally bringing him down to the level of a standard genius.

all the great minds lemented the fact that they could never keep up with him, until one day they could.

>believing the newton is a genius meme perpetuated by tyson

Just stop. Stop equating /impact on science with 'genius'. They aren't the same.

Sure you can define them to be the same in the colloquial sense and then talk about that but you have to remain consistent and you aren't.

If you go by mathematical intelligence and ability to grasp abstract concepts then nothing Newton has done, not inventing calculus or writing the principia, has shown that. He could be an actual genius in this sense for all I know but he hasn't shown any proof of it.

If you want to change your definition of genius to impact then sure. But then you have to say Darwin is a genius, Salk is a genius, etc. And in this sense Tao is not a genius, and neither is Witten.

Do whatever the fuck you want but be consistent.

Now people like Euler and Gauss are actual geniuses in both senses of the word.

LOL retard he wasnt autistic, he was the exact opposite.

he was the real life tony stark. he held huge parties at his house virtually every week.

the guy had an immeasurably high IQ (well over 200), a perfectly eiditic memory (he could read a book once and then recite it backwards in another language months and even years later), and he was completely socially normal. in fact he was a great comedian.

how does that make you feel knowing how deficient you are in comparison

>>
>>7725389
i dont give a shit how smart newton actually was. he is just a standard reference for "supreme genius"

once in 500 years type of intelligence.

its funny you mention them because neumann is considered to be a greater mathematician than euler.

the best part is he is like that for virtually every field that caught his interest, however fleetingly.

hell he invented game theory, which is now a nobel category lol.

Well this thread turned into shit....

It's hard to quantify and compare. Tao is impressive because of the sheer number of fields of mathematics that has had an impact on. On the other hand, Witten won a Fields medal (despite being a physicist). Also, Witten majored in linguistics/history as an undergraduate, somehow got into mathematics graduate school at Princeton, convinced David Gross to take him on as a graduate student, and graduated from grad school in 3 years.

They were both child prodigies. So I'm not quite sure. I would guess that Witten probably has the more expansive memory of the two. I've read that he knows a shit ton of obscure history. He's also like an expert in '60s - '70s era topology, again despite being a physicist.
