In art, the genius of a person was frequently depicted as a winged youth; the genius of a place, as a serpent.
So a genius is a very smart person who born at few centuries . I can get examples from all the world : Albert Einstein in Physics , Thomas Edison – a genius of inventions , Michelangelo in Arts , Mihai Eminescu in Romanian Lyrics , Iulia Hasdeu , George Enesco , … ( and the list goes on …) .
Further on , I studied their carrer and I have informations about them :
1 . Thomas Edison
American Thomas Alva Edison patented more than 1000 inventions in his lifetime, including the elec tric lightbulb –a well known symbol for a bright idea , the phonograph, and a transmitter that made Alexander Bell’s telephone a usable instrument on a wide scale.

2 . Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is considered one of the greatest and most popular scientists of all time. Three papers he published in 1905 were pivotal in the development of physics and, to a large degree, Western thought. These papers discussed the quantum nature of light, provided a description of molecular motion -cosmology, and introduced the special theory of relativity. Einstein wa
