Hawking, unless he is in the room with Barack Hussein Obama.

EVERYBODY knows Obama is the SMARTEST MAN IN THE ROOM.

There is no such thing as the smartest person, and even those who we consider giants of knowledge can be wrong and disagreed with

I once had a debate with a Nobel laureate in grad school.  While he was extremely smart and very gracious to me, to this day I still believe him to be wrong on the issue, I was just excited that I held my own.  There is no such thing as the smartest person, those who we consider smart have flaws in their thinking just like you and me.  Stephen Hawking is a very smart individual in his field, but that does not make him the smartest person.

bingo...hawking's entire career is based on a small slice of anomaly from general relativity..

in the bigger picture,hawking will be a tiny blip in the history of physics

He is smart.............

In 1968 Witten published an article in The Nation arguing that the New Left had no strategy.

As far as physicists go, he probably isn't even in the top 50 right now.  Smarter than 99.999% of the population does not mean he is the smartest man alive.  Hawking basically predicted that a black hole will convert its mass into radiation and then disappear.  I won't deny that he is an authority on singularities, but no, he is no where near the "smartest" man alive

Garrett Lisi may be the most intelligent human on the planet...but he is also one of the strangest.



He lives on Maui or in Nevada, depending on the surf and snow.

His theories are still in peer review.  The Large Hadron Collider at CERN may prove he is not just a flake.

Not to toot my own horn, but I believe I am deserving of some credit for my work in developing the Periodic Table Of Vegetables.  The phrase "I can count to potato" was once the punch line to a tired old internet meme, but is now seen as having real intellectual impact in the field of vegetable science.
