You're a lot younger than he is. Besides, I'll bet he's not as good at rock climbing!Originally posted by chroot
I only wish I were as smart as Ed Witten though.

Well, if you ask Marylin vos Savant, she'll tell you it is her. If you ask someone else, and she happens to overhear it, she'll run over and tell you it is her.

How do you define smartest person?
And why Stephen Hawking?

Woh! Don't get me wrong here, he's a decent actor, but this guy is a serious nutcase.

Always getting thrown in jail for beating his wife or getting into a bar fight. He may have talent, but smart he is not. I'd sooner choose someone like Sean Connery.
Who is the smartest person alive today?

Could you explain?
I have no idea who is the smartest person today - it probably depends on what you think smart is. Bill Gates, perhaps, because he is smart enough to realize you can make money out of this "microcomputer" thing. He is certainly the most successful in terms of getting rich, which is how success is normally measured in the modern, capitalist world.
He isn't just smart in terms of money, but he is brilliant with technology and business but also an extremely nice and intelligent person normally.
Well, Hawking is generally rather unpopular amongst physics communities. Many people resent him for his media prescence, and consider his success to be more a matter of public sympathy over his disability rather than actual skill. Finding Hawking in a "100 Greatest Scientists" book instead of Feynman, Dirac, Heisenberg, Pauli, Planck, Maxwell, Faraday etc makes many people angry.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that... Are you Bill Gates?
