I think it's a toss up between Richard Feynman and Charles Bukowski.... Ok so Feynman would probably win. One of the only truly intelligent men I've read about who really knew how to have a good time also.
Hmmm:mad: apparently:headbang: I can't include:rolleyes: :sniper: so many :cool: little :p :gundge: silly :fluffle: :D smilies :upyours:in one post!
I put them all in, and I'm down to these paltry few.

And you can't say who was the smartest person ever without defining smart. I know it's nitpicking, but I know plenty of 'smart' people who couldn't find their arse with both hands, myself included.

you never can know. there could always be this one guy who never exposed his intelligence. or there could be the fact (is it fact, i kinda made it up) that everyone is the same, intellectually, in a way, because, everyone is constantly learning, and getting smarter. it's just that some people are constatnly learning about useless things, the pattern of the wall they keep staring at while others are familiarizing themselves with rocket science. and then, we get into opinions, on whether or not rocket science is more important than walls. if that made any sense.

Almost certainly someone none of us have ever heard of. Given the ratio of people we've never heard of to people we've heard of, the odds are very much in favor of pretty much all the most exceptional people being unknowns (excluding, of course, the "most famous"). :)
(And yes, I realize that the ratio of smart/dumb among people we've heard of is undoubtedly greater than among unknowns, but considering there are still several billion of the latter to choose from, I'm still betting one of them wins.)

Depends on the definition of smart. Is it a person who has the most knowledge? Is it the person who can apply the knowledge in the best ways? Is it someone who can think through a problem the most creativitly and innovatively?

This may be a reflection of the fact that truly "wise" people ( as opposed to those who are merely "smart" ) realize that the more they know, the more they realize they don't know much of anything. :)

It sickens me that we're up to the third page and no one has said "Myrth". You people are sick.
Probably Einstien or Sir Isaac Newton. The first one is practicly the father of nuclear energy with his formulas, including the uber-famous E=MC^2. Most people have no idea what the hell that means. Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity(you always fall down. He was the first to know that.) and came up with the three laws of motion. He found that still objects are too lazy to move, moving objects have to be stopped with a force of some kind, and that every action has an opposite, but equal reaction.
BTW:
if A+B=C
then A^2+AB+BC=C^2.
I figured that out by myself. I'm so smart.
In all honesty, I think I am. I've not done anything to prove it, but I shall one day. Currently I'm a 16 year old Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer, while it doesn't qualify me as the smartest it certainly puts me up there.

I can't believe this thread is 3 pages long already and no-one's mentioned "Dr." Gene Ray, inventor of TIME CUBE and self-styled "Smartest Person Ever", though that's a fact only in his own... thoughts.

Four thumbs up for Gene Ray - in glorious simultaneous four-cornered non-linear terms, anyway.

Points it at Amerty, holy **** shes gonna blow!!
I believe that the smartest persons are the ones who invent the simplest of things. The wheel, for example. How would our society work if no one invented the wheel? Or scissors? Or IKEA :P?
Therefore, I say that Ingvar Kamprad is the smartest person ever :P. Or possibly Pippi Longstocking. I mean, how smart do you have to be to be able to ride a bike without wheels! That´s right, a genius! Though if we include religious characters, I´d say Buddha.
But seriously. Everyone knows that human intelligence is irrelevant. It´s all about the mice! They´re the smart ones! Mice and dolphins! They know the meaning of life, and to confuse us, they told Doglas Adams! Genius!

I really do admire a lot of the mathematical geniuses that have been mentioned, but they were all highly specialized, and I think that the smartest ever would have to be a "Master of many trades" rather than one of those people in really narrow fields.
I give mad props, though not necessarily the title of smartest, to Robert Nozick, Ludwig von Mises, and less assuredly, Milton Friedman.
