American higher education website Superscholar.org recently published a list called „The 10 Smartest People AliveToday”.
The author confesses that it is not so easy to define the adjective “smart”, but on the basis of IQ and accomplishment 10 people are listed at the website as “unworthy of being called some of the smartest people alive today”.
In „pole position” there is a well-known name, Stephen Hawking, the 70-year old science celebrities, who has received a great number of awards and published some best-selling books.
The only female in the list is the Hungarian Chess player Judit Polgár, 36, who beat Bobby Fisher when she was only 15.
