For you, what are the greatest scientific and artistic genius in world history, respectively? OP starts.

I would guess probably like Gauss, Newton, Von Neumann, or Grothendieck, but I haven't actually studied their work directly enough to gauge that and don't pay close enough attention to the history behind the math I'm learning to know who contributed what to any given field. Based on the work I'm most familiar with, I would say:

Scientific would be either Richard Montague, Noam Chomsky, or Alfred Tarski.

For artistic, I would say Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, or Chopin. However, I also really like Dostoevsky and Kafka if were looking at writers.

The single greatest mind overall, I think though, is Wittgenstein, but philosophers are neither artists nor scientists.

On a related note, the most difficult subject matter in the maths/sciences are like branches of proof theory that are highly topological and draw on various branches of abstract algebra and topology. Shit is almost impossible. Maybe in a few years it'll start to come together.

von neumann 6th post, shameful

greatest brain power: von neumann

greatest lasting impact: who knows, it will take a long time to fully realise the implications of these intellectual titan's discoveries.

probably newton though, because he accelerated understanding of fundamental things so profoundly for the entire world.

the next newton will be more abstract, eg his work will lead to a new revolution such as FTL travel or something like that, which we wont realise for a long time to come

Not a home to spoon feed some sources but there has been Stylometry studies they've done with computers in recent years that makes it seem that most of his works weren't purely his own.

Cannot agree with Bach here. Homie used strict mathematical theory to his compositions and had not an ounce of emotion compared to romaticists and post-romanticists

Good pick. I'd opine most would pick him or Einstein. Me? I'd pick Rutherford or Faraday. Or even Seaborg

No no no....Debussy!

Good pick. Mine would easily be Frost (in my youth), Hemingway (currently)
