And you question the genius of Hawkings.

I indeed question placing him in the same class as Maxwell, Newton, and Einstein for example.

Luckily, I learned earlier. Not to knock him, even good for him, but, y'know, I don't need constant links to see videos. Just print me the recipe and I'll look at it. Alternately, I probably post too many Bitten links.

@BillRM,

Obama is far from genius - he is a politician with a lot of money that bought his elections in return for whatever the donors requested. Many times the donors got what they wanted, most of the time they were lied to.
Bernie Madoff was a genius - a bad person, but a genius.

My impression right or wrong is that Hawking have one hell of a good public PR
campaign going for him with the help that his medical conditions making very press.

But I still do see any solid indication that he should be given the same standing of a Maxwell, Newton or Einstein.

Knee jerkishly, I would have to say Professor Stephen Hawking, the theoretical physicist.

But I would have to think about it further and hope I can fall under an epiphany of another name and genius. I doubt I will be able to remember anyone with the mental chops of Stephen Hawking.

Why, because he's on TV a lot? How does he stack up against other physicists?

This question is too broad. Unless we can agree to 'domains' i.e. subject matter areas, it will be a shot gun approach.

I can think of a few people in PR who are of a 'genius' nature.

George Washington Carver has always facinated me, but he is dead.

Asimov was a genus in his writings in both the wide areas of human knowledge he wrote on as at least a sem-expert and the amazing total of his lifetime works.

All the writers you name and a dozen more cheerfully thrown in did not produce twenty percents of his works in volume.

None of the writers you name or all of them together did not covers the fields of science, mathematic, art, religion, politic, history that Asimov cover in his lifetime.

The men you name was stories tellers and little else Asimov however tied a large percent of human knowledge together and yes he was far more of a genus in that regard.

By your standards Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski must have been a literary genius as well.

I do not remember using the word literary but the word writer instead.

The normal distribution predicts that 1 out of a million people have an intelligence that leaves the rest of us with the chimpanzees

Stephan Wolfram is one of those

Think about this though--with the worlds population of 5 billion--there are 5000 of these individuals world wide (1000 of them in China alone) .

It may be both a good and bad thing that our scientists, historians and social theorists are regularly on television, explaining their work to the great unwashed. Generally, in America, they are on PBS where they are usually watched by the washed.

I would guess the greatest genius alive today is the 29 year old guy who built this . . . out of Legos . . .

According to PC WORLD:

Hello World! One Lego enthusiast has made a working printer using spare Lego bricks, a felt-tip pen, a few mechanical parts, and a heap of ingenuity.

The homemade Lego printer, built by B3ta forum member "Squirrelfantasy," also features a number of hardworking Lego minifigures. See the printer--which uses the felt-tip pen in place of an ink cartridge--in action and watch the video after the jump.

The surprisingly accurate Lego Felt-Tip 110" Printer was all designed and coded from scratch, and was built with analog motors, sensors, a printer driver, and a wired USB interface.

Unlike mainstream printers, replacing the ink in this homemade effort is not a costly affair. When the printouts begin to fade simply buy a new felt tip pen and you're all set!
