Been trying to come up with the best 20 books for a person to read that deal with politics, economy, history or about America or society at large in the world and having a tough time as there are too much books. So I am concurrently putting every book I like into a listmania list at Amazon. I had hoped to maybe do a vanity with the 20 best books here, but it is taxing to do.

I can only imagine how hard it is to pick one person as being the smartest. Too much work.

Maxwell's field equations are a great piece of work.

And his silver hammer.

No, not Jesus. He blew one out of twelve.

He allowed it to happen as he talked about it to the twelve and they had no clue what he was talking about it. But he knew all along

I was talking about Niels Bohr, not Max Born. Bohr got the Nobel Prize for establishing the founding principles of atomic structure and quantum theory. It would take Born another 30+ years to get his Nobel Prize for quantum mechanics.

He was probably the hungriest.

The problem with the question is that you need to define smart.

RE: The problem with the question is that you need to define smart.

The author anticipates this question and defines it after the second paragraph of the article.

I don’t think He did. He KNEW it was going to happen and it happened according to His knowledge.

Solomon on the authority of God.

No.

Wisdom and intelligence is not the same thing.

Which is obviously why the answer to the question is not me.

I skimmed down the article and missed that part.
