What are some must-watch intelligent movies?

 HANDS DOWN: “The Man From Earth”

In my opinion, this is THE GREATEST MOVIE YOU NEVER KNEW EVEN EXISTED.

The premise is simple: John Oldman is a university history professor about to be named head of the History Department, but suddenly quits his job and prepares to move to another city. His friends, all professors as well, go to his house to throw him a surprise farewell party. They inquire him as to why the sudden move, and after some pressure John Oldman relents and asks them:

“What if I told you that I am actually 14,000 years old, and every 10 years I move from city to city so that people won’t notice that I don’t age?”

Naturally this is met with a mix of shock and skepticism. Each friend is a professor and an expert in a different field: a biologist; an art history professor and devout Christian; an anthropologist; another historian; an archaeologist; and a psychiatrist. Each of them challenges John’s statement and questions him from their area of expertise.

What follows is a one and a half hour conversation that explores John’s statement, and the possibility of whether or not he is fake or for real.

The conversation enthralls you as it goes deeper and deeper into the implications of John’s story, and each of the characters reacts differently to every new fact that is revealed. Everything happens within a single room, and yet you feel as if you are traveling into a different world. One of the characters even says at some point that he needs to “go home and watch Star Trek, for a dose of sanity”.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Period.

Who is the most intelligent actress in India?

 Madhuri Dixit ( Nene) :

• Born into a Marathi family in 1967.
• Studied in prestigious Mumbai University , became a microbiologist.
• She started dancing since she was 3 , and later on became a professional Kathak dancer.
• Along with these , she also tried modelling and got the breakthrough in 1984 where she was 17

Kindly note, at tender age of 17 , she achieved all she thought ( Studies + Actor + Dancer )

• Next 3 years , she acted in low budget films and she earned positve criticisms
• Next decade ( till 1990’s) saw films like Tezaab, Ram Lakhan , Prem Pratigyaa , Parindaa.
• She infused dancing with acting and became a hit across India.
• 1990–2000 decade : Made her the invincible Queen of Bollywood as she featured in some of the Blockbusters like Khalnayak, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun,Dil Toh Pagal Hai etc.
• At the peak of her popularity in 1999 , she married a surgeon.
• In addition to acting , she has done several stage shows for dancing.
• Along with these , her work towards society is commendable. She distributed the 50 Lakh won in Kaun banega Crorepati to Gujrat Earthquake victims.She also works towards upliftment of women in Rural areas, Primary school education.

So , let me question myself why I consider her to be most intelligent.

1. She did not trade off her education for acting.
2. She honed her acting skills and saw that her dance does not go unnoticed.
3. Many actresses see that they marry some wealthy actors and get settled. But Madhuri Dixit , took a decision which surprised many. She married someone outside her profession , a renowned surgeon.
4. She always kept a low profile, which depicts that she is always grounded.
5. She also does behind the stage work for underprivileged societies, no hush-push about those.
6. Finally, she maintains cordial relationship with almost everyone on the industry.

With these in mind , I could vouch for Mrs.Madhuri Dixit Nene to be the most intelligent actress in India.

Was Einstein really as intelligent as we think?

 Prepare to make yourself feel terrible:

Albert Einstein published four papers in 1905, the Anus Mirabilis papers. These four papers changed our understanding of the universe, time, and matter:

1. A paper that played a significant role in the development of quantum theory: On a heuristic perspective on the generation and transformation of light.
2. A paper that provided empirical evidence for atomic theory: on the motion of small particles in a stationary liquid.
3. A paper that sheds light on special relativity: on the electrodynamics of moving objects.
4. A groundbreaking paper including the famous formula (E=mc^2) that equates energy and mass: Does the inertia of an object depend on its energy?

Albert published all of the above in just one year, when he was only 26 years old.

Are there any aquatic animals that are considered more intelligent than dolphins?

 Yes, there are.

Manta rays and Orcas are considered to be among the most intelligent aquatic animals, and some exhibit behaviors that rival dolphins.

1. Manta rays

Have large brains relative to their body size, with well-developed areas for learning, problem-solving, and communication. They can recognize themselves in a mirror, which suggests they have some level of self-awareness. Also playful and curious around humans.

Use sight and smell to map their surroundings. Collaborate during hunting and form complex social relationships.

They are considered to be highly intelligent fish.

2. Orcas

Have large brains that allow them to store memories and quickly assess signals from nerves.

They are among the most intelligent marine mammals and are considered to be one of the smartest animals in the world.

Orcas (also known as killer whales) are highly social creatures that develop intricate social networks primarily based on strong family ties and alliances within their pods, with the core structure revolving around a matriline led by an older female, forming complex relationships between individuals within the group.
