2. Edward Witten
M-theory, quantum gravity, and supersymmetry are all examples of string theory. Do these terms ring a bell for you? This man, on the other hand, has made a significant contribution to these. He has been dubbed "the most brilliant physicist of his generation" and "the world's greatest living theoretical physicist" for his work as a physicist. With honours such as the Fields Medal, the Dirac Prize, the Albert Einstein Medal, and the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics, he is one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential persons in the world.

3. Noam Chomsky
Who is the "Father of Modern Linguistics," as the saying goes? Of course he is! His work revolutionised everything from artificial intelligence to music theory as a cognitive scientist, philosopher, and political observer. He's also the author of over a hundred books. In addition, in a 2005 poll, he was named one of the world's Top 100 Public Intellectuals.

5. Judit Polgár
Take a look at the finest female chess prayer ever! Polgar was a child prodigy who achieved grandmaster status at the age of 11 and is now the only chess player in the World Chess Federation's Top 100 Players list! Here's an interesting fact: Polgar was apparently raised by her father as a test case to show that "geniuses are manufactured, not born." Well, sir, we understand!

6. Andrew Wiles
So, this man is an award-winning English mathematician best known for proving Fermat's Last Theorem in 1995, which is one of the world's "most difficult mathematical problems," according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Wow, a 358-year-old theorem has been solved! Brilliant!

7. Grigori Perelman
This man makes significant contributions to mathematics before abandoning the field entirely! With his work, he perplexed everyone, and he was even granted the Fields Medal (the Nobel Prize in mathematics), which he declined, saying, "I'm not interested in money or celebrity; I don't want to be on show like an animal in a zoo." There's some goodies!

8. John Sununu
A member of Mega Society, a society of people with really high IQ, Sununu, a mechanical engineer, after spending years as the dean of engineering for Massachusetts-based Tufts University, he became the Governor of New Hampshire, and then moved on to the White House as the Chief of Staff! Quite a journey, except he had to step down because of alleged power abuse!

9) Ruth Lawrence
A former child prodigy, this British mathematician made headlines in 1985 after obtaining a bachelor's degree from Oxford University at 13 years of age! Can you believe it? Currently, she's an associate professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ’s Einstein Institute of Mathematics and is working on algebraic topology and knot theory, which is apparently mindbogglingly complicated for any practical usage yet.
