5 PEOPLE WITH INCREDIBLY POWERFUL MINDS | SS #99

The mind is perhaps humanity's most powerful tool. With our collective brain power, we've built extraordinary engines of war, constructed breathtaking structures, and explored beyond our very own planet. There is no limit to what the human mind is capable of accomplishing in the right circumstances. And some people take that fact to an entirely new level.

  • 1. Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) - an Italian Renaissance polymath who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect
  • 2. Stephen Wiltshire (b. 1974) -  a British architectural artist and autistic savant. He is known for his ability to draw a landscape from memory after seeing it just once.
  • 3. Kim Peake (1951-2009) - an American mega-savant, who had an exceptional memory, but also experienced social difficulties. He was the inspiration for the character Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 movie Rain Man.
  • 4. Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) - a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
  • 5. John von Neumann (1903-1957) - a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer, and polymath. He was regarded as having perhaps the widest coverage of any mathematician of his time.
