His devotion towards science started with a compass that his father showed him. What made him work was reason behind what makes a compass needle move. Apart from physics, he had a keen interest in mechanics and mathematics. He also applied for polytechnic colleges in Italy, but due insufficient grades he failed to get admission. On the advice of the dean of the same, as he had exceptionally high grades in physics and mathematics, he completed his secondary education from Switzerland. He worked in the field of Quantum theory and was the one to develop the general theory of relativity which was the turning point in the field of science. He is also very well known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2. For his services to theoretical physics, and for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect thesis. At an age of 76, he died on 17th April, 1955 due to some internal bleeding. His last words were never known because the nurse with him didn't understand German. 32 Likes 2 Shares

8. Judit Polgar (IQ 170) She was born on 23rd July 1976, in Hungary. With an IQ of 170, she is the strongest female chess player in history. She achieved the title of Grand-master when she was 15 years old and was the youngest to do so until then. She is the only woman to have won a game from a current world number one player and has defeated former world champions in either rapid or classical chess. Her childhood went through a lot of struggle and chess as a specialized subject. Her father used to believe that if trained properly, anyone could be a genius in any subject. Believing in her father, Judit fought with the Hungarian chess committee as women were not allowed to play with men. Based on similar grounds, she was not given the title of grandmaster even being nominated many times. With 2 sisters in her life, her childhood went under complete specialisation of chess with them as her father appointed them for home schooling. Trained in her early years by her sister Susan. Judit was not the sister with the most talent, explaining "Judit was a slow starter, but very hard-working." Polgár described herself at that age as "obsessive" about chess. She first defeated an International Master, Dolfi Drimer, at age 10, and a grandmaster, Lev Gutman, at age 11. In late 1986, ten-year-old Judit defeated 52-year- old Romanian International Master Dolfi Drimer in the Adsteam Lidums International Tournament in Adelaide, Australia. Edmar Mednis said he played his best game of the tournament against Judit. "I was careful in that game", he said. "Grandmasters don't like to lose to 10-year-old girls, because then we make the front page of all the papers." "I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players" said Judith. She has been the #1 rated woman in the world since 1989 (when she was 12 years old). On August 13, 2014, she announced her retirement from competitive chess. 35 Likes 3 Shares
