Neil DeGrasse ​Tyson​
Neil DeGrasse ​Tyson​

Neil deGrasse Tyson made the decision a long time ago to be a sort of media cheerleader for science instead of an actual scientist, and although he isn’t a great communicator, it was the right decision because he was unlikely ever to trouble the Nobel committee. Also, he is stupid and his politics are dumb.

Terence Tao​
Terence Tao​

It is obvious Terence Tao is Adrian Seng. You can see that he actually scored a 175+ on the Stanford-Binet, which however I would believe is the ceiling for that IQ test. But if you really want to “really” validate ratio IQ then Terence Tao is not the smartest man alive.

The question is meaningless. People aren't arranged on a linear intelligence scale. I don't even know what "different intelligences" might mean for two of the most creative physicists of the past 100 years.
