/sci/ - Science & Math

Not when Archimedes walked the Earth, plebe.

The most intelligent person to ever live could have lived a completely unexceptional life, or had no interest in math or academics, or died to a disease at a young age, or starved to death, or gone unnoticed for numerous other reasons. It's really impossible to say. Might seem pedantic, but it isn't.

>>9476646
A yes, the quintessential reddit post.

>things drop when you drop them
wow what a genius

>>9476650
Sorry that you associate thinking with reddit. This site has a board with a literal 40 IQ average, might be more your speed.

>>>/pol/

>>9476650
he may be a redditor but he's right

>>9476633
Yes, arguably the greatest scientist to ever walk the earth. Just imagine inventing calculus before the age of 26.

>>9476654
Never said your post was wrong, but it's a fucking obvious point that has no impact into further discussion and has already been said a million time by impressionable faggots like you. Something along this lines.
>>9476656
Though this is already a shit thread so whatever.

>>9476663
>pointing out that it's impossible to know who was the smartest person ever has no impact on a thread about who was the smartest person ever

okay genius

Yes.

/thread

>>9476670
>Needing to clarify to autists like you that in order to further the discussion we should only discuss men we know that exist and have good enough historical records

It's also impossible to know if there isn't some weird fish in the deep sea that is larger than a whale, but I don't bring thay pedantic point to a fucking discussion of "what is the largest animal?" Also, the flyn effect suggests umprecedent geniuses will still live in the future, and considering how registration of information is so easy nowdays, that there's more universal acces to places were genius is recognized, and that we have better survival rates, it's probable that one if not the most intelligent man will keep "updating" in the future. So fuck off with your facebook tier response.

>>9476677
Are you trolling? That's a hilarious number of misspelled and misused words for someone claiming to be above "obvious" responses.

>>9476689
Okey, sorry, sometimes I don't proof read my shit. Any actual point you want to make?

>>9476693

I am not him, but I will agree with him that you sound like a moron. That's the only point I want to make.

The most intelligent man to walk the earth was whoever decided to propagate all these memes that Newton was some mystical genius with mystical intellect that can’t be matched

>>9476700
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though and assume he's not a moron, but rather temporarily impaired by extreme, senseless anger.

Name two people, who were/are, in your opinion, more intelligent than Newton.

>>9476846
i can’t my guy

>>9476633
Yes, and the libtard and the Jew and the Chinaman hate this.

>>9476633

He's alright but he's no Gauss.

Neumann? And despite the memes Einstein was pretty smart too.

>>9476654
Most of us are /pol/ you little shit. It's just the minority crying over everything makes you think you think otherwise. Oh, and the leftist collective denial of reality powered by the (((media)))

>>9476633
How would you go to quantify intelligence from different times? If you look at what was then, and what he invented etc, Archimedes is ahead of Newton I think

>>9476944
>Most of us are /pol/ you little shit.
You must be delusional to think that.

>>9476944
quit astroturfing faggot

>>9476973
>This projection and still he doesn't realise

>>9476969
It's obvious there are a few people on here every day spamming "/pol/!!" at everything and sliding kike propaganda. The overwhelming majority of people are unaffected by this. You lost. Go home. Find a job.

>>9476944

>Most of us are /pol/ you little shit.

fucking lol

>>9477039
>posts a bunch of nonsense

Yup, I spot a poltard.

>>9476633
He didn't watch Rick and Morty so I don't think so

>>9477062
>>moves goalposts
Narrowmindedness detected. The shilling here is a fact, and so is my argument. You have yet to provide anything with substance other than attacking the poster. It's called Ad hominem. And that's the only "arguments" the brainwashed left, and the shills have.

>>9477082
Yawn.

See here
>>9476944
>Most of us are /pol/ you little shit.
>collective denial of reality powered by the (((media)))
>>9477039
>You lost. Go home. Find a job.

Moving goalposts to force your idiocy into the discussion.
Quintessentially poltard.

>>9477086
Yawn.

The exact same answer again without actually answering.

>>9477082
>The shilling here is a fact, and so is my argument.
You're right, your argument is shilling.

>>9477091
Don't get butthurt about getting called out on your hypocrisy, poltard.

I've pointed out two posts where strawman and moving goalposts were first initiated, followed by baseless assumptions.

I wish mods just banned you guys.

>>9476660
Jesus, man. Absolutely brilliant.

>>9476633
>that chin

Probably sent by the Obelisk

>>9477096
>I wish mods just banned you guys.
Not even him but this is how you gave us a Trump. By this exact self-righteousness and self claimed monopoly on the truth and right to speak, all whilst the blatant proof of your indoctrination is more than obvious.

>>9477136
this

>>9477136
And now you're forcing in daddy Trump into a discussion about scientists.

You poltards just never stop, amazing!

>>9477144
Keep going at it, I''ll just vote Trump again

>>9477147
I'm not an American thankfully, so I am unaffected by your popularity contest which you call a "democratic election".

I find it sad that you are just so brainwashed into having this tribalistic mindset where everything that opposes pol is evil and leftist.
You are the exact same useful idiots like tumblr.

>>9476633
Top 5 of the most accomplished, but if you wanna go about raw brainpower, pic related.
Most geniuses are wealthy jews or poor goyim that had the luck to live near (even if not exactly inside) a strong academic setting. This motherfucker had everything against him, yet accomplished far more than the majority of the most formally educated scholars.

>>9477150
This amount of projection again. All you do is cry about /pol/ everything someone says something you don't agree with. And now you accuse others of it?

>>9477136 clearly isn't a trumpetfag, but your indoctrination wont let you see that will it?
> You gave us a trump!
>Oh look he said trump, must be /pol/

You drooling fucking spastic

>>9477253
Are you this incapable of detecting irony in your own post? Well it doesn't surprise me, it's a sign of stupidity. Let's break it down.

>All you do is cry about /pol/ everything someone says something you don't agree with. And now you accuse others of it?
All poltards do is cry "evil", "leftie", "sjw", "Trump", "reddit" etc ad nauseum even when it doesn't relate to the topic at hand. Not only that you guys possess an inflated sense of superiority and a high level of ignorance, which only adds to the saying "empty vessels make the most noise"
See:
>>9476944
>Most of us are /pol/ you little shit
>Oh, and the leftist collective denial
>(((media)))

And resort to moving goalposts to something you're hysterically obsessed about.
>>9477039
>sliding kike propaganda
How the fuck does this relate to the topic at hand?

Not only that, baseless assumptions are your specialty.
>You lost. Go home. Find a job.
What does this all have to do with the topic at hand? Why are you projecting?
This is exactly the same as sjws calling people "nazis", "virgins", "racists" etc when they encounter someone they don't agree with.

Again resorting to buzzwords.
>>9477082
>left, and the shills

And then FORCING your president in into a thread about scientists, which is pretty funny considering he's anti science and, well, really dumb.
>>9477136
>Not even him but this is how you gave us a Trump
>>9477147
>Keep going at it, I''ll just vote Trump again
(p.s. I recognise samefagging so there's no need to say "I'm not him" or "not even that guy")

Lastly,
>>9477253
>clearly isn't a trumpetfag
EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS
>this is how you gave us a Trump
And forces it into a conversation which is totally unrelated to the presidency of USA.

How and why the fuck are you guys so stupid? Why don't you just stay in your containment board? Nobody wants you. Not even /b/ wants you.

Just fuck off and let /sci/ be clear of anti intellectuals like yourselves.

>>9476633
Intelligence is fickle, influence is paramount, and the most influential man to ever walk the earth in intellectual pursuits was Aristotle.

>>9477277
Dude... I know you felt amazing about yourself when you wrote that and even better reading it all back but I'm not going to even. Holy fuck. Just know you're dead wrong. Can't believe you posted this

>>9477299
>anything I don't like is autism
>if anyone posts a lot of words it's autism

>>9477303
No. Misunderstanding what people say is autism. No idea how to interpret beyond your narrow scope is autism. The pathological need to justify is autism. I could go on you're I'm bored with you now.

>>9477306
In that case, /pol/ has autism. Now go back there.

>>9476859

>Archimedes

>>9477303
No it's just you, that was pretty bad. You're not only embarrassing yourself, but everyone on sci

>>9476944
>Most of us are /pol/ you little shit.
You have the right to be a delusional moron as much as you want, but don't go around including intelligent people into whatever shit you believe.

>>9476660
I invented calculus before the age of 13, but then I discovered some prick has already invented it.

>>9476633
Socrates.

>>9477150
>I am unaffected by your popularity contest which you call a "democratic election"
Which dictatorship are you from?

>>9476944
>Most of us are /pol/
unironically kys you retard

>>9477433

the most intelligent man to have walked the earth would be watching rick and morty right now, so no.

>>9477160
He didn't even prove his shit, faggot. Although he was brilliant, for sure.

>>9476633
No, that would be Edward "Big Head Boi" Witten.

Sam Hyde. He basically invented natural selection single handedly.

>>9477160
Overrated to be honest senpai

He is a dumb hack shilled by (((anglos)))

was he real, or an accumulation of knowledge of scientists working together?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC9s4WDST40
>>9477622
he was only 32 when he died.

Archimedes
Plato
Aristotle
Euclid
Descartes
Leibniz
Shakespeare
Mozart
Kant
Ramanujan

Scientific accomplishments aren't the only way to quantify intellect, and if that's what you wanted, you should have stated so.

All of the men I listed are more intelligent than Newton.

>>9476633
I don't know if he's the most intelligent, but he's certainly the most accomplished human being who ever lived.

This guy's achievements changed the world forever, it's incredible how much good a single individual was able to do.

>>9476646
no shit sherlock

>>9476872
>>9476846
Maybe tesla

I'm amazed nobody posted him.

>>9476646
Yes. Quite.. Shallow and Pedantic

>>9477753
but muh Newton created everything Leibniz took responsibility for

>>9477832
His achievements are nothing compared to Newton's. People just don't understand how out of this world is what that guy did.

>>9477753
I disagree, although Archimedes and Ramanujan are the closest to Newton.
>putting Mozart and not Bach or Beethoven

>>9477952
and Leibniz and Von Neumann of course

>>9477952
I think Bach is arguably as great as Mozart, but Beethoven is not even on the same tier as them.

>>9476633
He has a great nose.

>>9477967
Bach invented jazz 300 years ago. Think about it.

>>9477832
great artist but didnt have much quant skills afaik

>>9477967
>>9477967
>but Beethoven is not even on the same tier as them

I'm a massive Beethovenfag (look at what the niggers did to him btw. King Beethoven kek) but I must agree that Mozart and Bach are a tier above him in complexity, which isn't solely what I value but coherence. It's perfect. Every note is there because it has to. That's why I love Paul Dirac so much as well

>>9476654
>literal
reddit indeed

>>9476633
yes.
ews stay mad with einsmeme

Einstein > Newton

>>9476633
After Leibniz, sure

You're totally right

>>9479611
Opposite of you, obviously.

>>9479545
that's a painting, he probably didn't even look like that

>>9479646
He sure wasn't black or fat.
It's not a perfect portrait, but it's safe to assume that the painter did strive for registering his strongest facial traits.

>>9479656
he was a black transfoxkinsgenderqueerfluidtrigonalplanarambidextroustroutkin but the world wasn't ready for that so they just hired a handsome model

>>9476633
Nice theory you have there. It would unfortunate if something were to happen to it.

>>9476633
Yep

>>9476633
True. He was brilliant. But soirces estimates an IQ of only 180. I know it's not that low. But we have others wich are way smarter. So i would say Da Vinci or Tesla. But he did contribute well with math, science and philosophy. But i will not put under a chair that he could have had higher IQ. He also managed to burn down the whole damn barn. Hes mother also wanted him to be a farmer. Wich he refused. He also tried to syntezise gold from urin. And were a totally christian faggot. Wich indicates stupid if you ask me. He also started many fights and were a hard neck. That's abit kek. So brilliant but not. All the shit they belived in over in England back then. But he were kinda oppressive so i don't know. Interesting abit funny but not the smartest.

>>9482223
If I've ever read the post of a teenager on /sci/, it's 100% this one.

fjfjf

>>9476633
Yes

I would even say hes underrated. The massive change he did is more than just the theory. Being able to predict movement of things like stars with mathematics was something unthinkable, people thought the world was too chaotic and couldnt be predicted, that shift started science.

>>9482223

Begone Thoth

>>9482226
Man wtf do you even mean. I made a fucking good point and broke it up to you. And you call me a fucking boy. So how do you reason with reason, when reasoning with reasons reason is confusing to you. He was brilliant with math only. Is it because i said Tesla. This board is so fucking filled with moronic potato heads they can't see Teslas singlehanded wit. We have trouble even today to get his masteries. Even the best fucking teams struggle as hell. Were talking the biggest corporations and best schools in the world can't do it. And this was one fucking man. And he knew his potential too. Just over the fucking limit. Probably sent by angels to serve all life. And that's fucking 100 years ago when people knew shit about electrisity and the other phenomenas he talked about. He found an element we don't even know the slightest about even today. An energy force wich when obtained would give unlimited power. And it's all around you. He actually discovered this all by himself. Most of 4chan sees only general pop sci and thinking you have the answer. But you are fucking blind. The answer is not even hidden under a rock. It's in your fucking face. You just need to be able to fucking get it. Ok this should be enough even for brainlet. Please don't be the end of me. The smartest isn't knowing all the damn facts and straight A shit and a million equations. The smartest is knowing enough and what's right and thinking outside the box, from there it's how far you can stretch it. Since almost everything is based on the fucking general population that theres an overstimulated tastless storm cursing every single one of us to be false underatimulated sheeps. Baiting in shit. Theres no grass left. So either starve or jump over the fence. Either way it's gonna end in tragedy. Because it fucking is that already. Over and out.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
