Yes. I can clearly declare Albert Einstein is the greatest genious ever born on this earth.
Here's a little knowledge about the master.
Mathematical physicist, born in Ulm, S Germany. He was educated at Munich and Aarau, and went on to study at the Zürich Polytechnic. Taking Swiss nationality in 1901, he was appointed examiner at the Swiss Patent Office (1902–9), where he began to publish original papers on theoretical physics. He was made world famous by his special (1905) and general (1916) theories of relativity. He was professor at the universities of Zürich (1909), and Prague (1911), at Zürich Polytechnic (1912), then became director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute in Berlin (1914–33). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. After Hitler's rise to power, he left Germany, lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, and worked from 1934 at the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, USA. In 1940 he became a US citizen. He spent the later part of his life attempting by means of his unified field theory (1950) to establish a merger between quantum theory and his general theory of relativity. After the war, he urged international control of atomic weapons.
Keep watching for more details of a versatile scientist to travel into time and space.

as long as i searched theres no clear info about the IQ of sir Einstein.It is roughly estimated to be from 160-200.Above 140 is said to be excellent.I got this info from this website.It seemed to be a good one.

One more thing.Look at his confidence.
In the divorce papers,He gave a part of his Nobel Prize Amount which he was going to be awarded few years after that.He was so confident that he'll be surely awarded a nobel prize soon or later.

i'm a fan of albert einstein since I was a child, I even wanted to make a tatoo with his face on my shoulder but studying physics I've known a lot of person almost as genius as Einstein as Enrico Fermi.. the problem is that Einstein has been very good in becoming famous all over the world and not only in the scientific community

More than his intelligence,what i admire is his approach towards others.i came across a book of anecdotes on the genius.
i read an incident in his life.just read this.
Once when he went to a place(i don't remember the name)for some seminar or thing like that,he was made to stay in some place.one fine evening the people who organised the meet got a call from someone asking the place where the genius stayed.But they refused to tell as it may disturb the privacy of the scientist and do you know the reply from the other side,"Ok.I'm Einstein and i forgot where i stay.Now it striked me.Thank you"!!!
such a great man has behaved in such a peculiar way.surprising na?
