What amazes me is the breadth, more so than the depth.

Newton is most famous for gravity, yet also contributed to optics and fluid dynamics (Newtonian fluids). Einstein is most famous for relativity theory, but won his Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect and started out in diffusion theory (Einstein relation)

That's why I reckon Leonardo Da Vinci has a claim as the smartest

He didn't have the science knowledge of those 2, but he was around long before them and certainly was well ahead of his time with his inventions, despite only a fraction of his ideas being actually feasible at the time

And then you add in that he also was an artistic genius, arguably the greatest painter of all time, a titan in the arts world, which is a pretty different area to science
