Fascinating video. Each of these figures was clearly a top-notch genius in his or her field. However, I think there are a lot of problems with this video. For starters, intelligence isn't well understood, and it's very misleading to assign a single number to it. Secondly, I don't agree with all the IQ estimates. I'd put Newton on top of the list of everyone mentioned here. Another incredible genius who wasn't mentioned is James Clerk Maxwell, who discovered electromagnetic waves.
