how can someone define a genius?,how does someone know what a genius is?,surely it would take a genius to define a genius as only a genius would know what a genius really is.
other less intelligent people can only offer an opinion of what a genius truly is.The word genius is uses out of context far too often,but i guess there have been quite a few geniuses born to this earth.
But its not easy to say"he or she was or is a genius without coming into argument with someone of a different opinion" so i was thinking if it would be possible to construct a list of geniuses"
So is there anyone out there in betfair land that might like to post the name of someone who you may think is a genius and is world famous for being a genius.
so i will start.
1=Albert Einstein.

TBF it was an interesting OP & we have sh1t on it.
Genius is very open to debate. Very clever people are often poor at personal interaction and don't get the nuance in a situation but damn they know physics. So who is cleverer the guy who can understand complex maths or the guy who can navigate the world he lives in? |

It would take a genius to navigate their way around Bernard Manning
 |
|
By:
It would take an expedition with very little hope of returning alive

I'm not convinced that someone who, for whatever reason, happens to discover something in a lifetimes work, with thousands of others on the case,
eg the cure for cancer.... Whilst that would be a tremendous accolade, I don't think that a "one off" event is enough to make that person be described as a genius! On the other hand, someone who has created a prolific amount of unique, and radical constructions, would certainly be a genius! One such person is Antoni Gaudi, of whom it is difficult to come to terms with how one person could achieve so much in a lifetime! |

Isaac Newton made perhaps the most important single discovery ever but when you read about some
of the other stuff he believed in and studied then he sounds like a nutbar. |
|
By:
I think brassneck might be close to being a genius because he has all sorts of interesting little ideas and follies
|

By:

By:
^ I bet he says he was both a genius & a nutbar
 |
|
By:
Didn't Newton spend a lot of effort on alchemy?
|
|
By:
Yes, Newton was an alchemist but alchemy was the forerunner of chemistry. This was the dawn of modern science.

they say(who ever THEY are)that there is only a split of a hair on your head in distance between a nutbar and a genius.
