60 GeniusesA great scientist changes what we know is true. Newton showed that the same law that pulls an apple to the ground holds the moon in orbit. Darwin showed that all life is related. Einstein showed that time itself bends.
This list ranks the scientists whose discoveries reshaped human understanding, drawn from physics, biology, chemistry, and beyond.
Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are the two most-cited names. Newton invented calculus and classical mechanics; Einstein gave us relativity, the photoelectric effect, and the foundation of modern physics.
Isaac Newton (estimated IQ 190–193), Leonardo da Vinci (200), and Albert Einstein (160) are the most-cited high-IQ scientists.
Marie Curie won two — Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1911) — and remains the only person to win Nobels in two different sciences.
