Most intelligent persons of the world - Googolplex - 03-11-2015

Did you ever heard of "William James Sidis"? Who has a valued IQ between 250 and 300?
He spoke over 40 languages, learned one language per day.
I also think that "Rüdiger Gamm" is by far one of the most genius super brains. He's not at the lists above.
And don't forget...

with an IQ of 10^(10^100)RE: Most intelligent persons of the world - Traggey - 03-11-2015
IQ is not related to intelligence! Important thing to keep in mind.

Yes, that's right. IQ is just an indicator to show someone's intelligence in a number.
But it doesn't exactly demonstrate the intelligence, it is only a general base.
For example I think someone who composes brillant music would be even intelligent with an IQ of just 80.

Not possible. To completely learn a language takes a lifetime. We're talking hundreds of thousands of words. French has a relatively small number of words, about 100,000. Assuming he slept for 8 hours and didn't stop learning words while he was awake, that's 2 words per second, leaving no time to master the grammar or pronunciation.
Maybe he could learn to repeat a few sentences and so seem to be conversant on a given topic.
Wikipedia Wrote:It was later acknowledged, however, that some of the claims made were exaggerations, with a researcher stating "I have been researching the veracity of primary sources of various subjects for about twenty-eight years, and never before have I found a topic so satiated with lies, myths, half-truths, exaggerations, and other forms of misinformation as is in the history behind William Sidis"

That all depends on what one means with learning a language. Do you know a language when you know all the words and how to use them? Or do you know a language when you know how to use it in its basic form? If one follows the first question, that means I do not know my mother tongue because I do not know all Swedish words.

Fair point, but I don't think it's possible to learn how to use a language in it's basic form in one day either. For example, I could learn to say, "Var är tågstationen ?" or "Vänligen kan jag köpa en biljett ?" but it would take months for us (or you and Sidis) to have a conversation on a topic of your choosing.

To reach language fluency, one must learn about 23 - 88 weeks, depending on the motivation, pace and the given tongue. One day is not enough; the whole learning process is like body building, but the major development happens inside the head instead. You cannot grow big muscles in one day, nor be able to speak a new language. Our cells aren't simply capable enough.

When his brain is working like a computer I'd say it is possible. Super intelligent people and Savants are "learning" thousands times faster than normal people. And they never forget what they learned. They only need to take a look on a book's page and they will store every single information without reading it.
