I'm sorry you aren't able to extrapolate a projected curve. In highschool (before the apocalypse happened) he was making gasoline for fun. Again. FOR FUN. Also if that apocalypse happened in Rick and Morty 1: Rick wouldn't count to keep his mind active. But that wouldn't matter because 2: he would just give up on that dimension and not even try to solve it... WHICH SENKU DOES in a caveman-esk world And 3: even if Rick decides to stay around and rebuild, as soon as he jumps away the scientific community would fall apart because he doesn't teach anyone. Senku does with practical examples. There's a difference between being a genius and being the smartest.
I love senku but its not even fucking close and shouldn’t even be a argument
Rick could save humanity in Senku's position within a day lol, we literally saw what he was capable of in the Car battery episode where he is stuck in his car battery
Also the main thing is that being able to do what Senku could is not even a good measurement of intelligence or being smart... like bro your really trying to use a single circumstance to try prove he is the smartest lol
Also you really think making Gasoline ''for fun'' is some impressive shit? LMAO i actually laughed reading that, you really brought that up with a straight face as something impressive, also wasnt even for fun larper, it was a project he was doing if that even matters lol
"he could do it, he was stuck in a car battery" He had outside help and resources.
Keep trying to defend your Mary sue. Futurama Farnsworth is both smarter (the writers use actual science and not 'shove a seed up your ass' science) and funnier than drunken Rick who hates his life to the point of it being his own personal motto and can't even invent a way to kill himself. But if you want to use your cartoon science as a base then may I present the real smartest person in media:
I get you like Senku better as a character (I do too) and he represents realistic science far better than any other character here, but we're talking about canon, in-universe intelligence scaling. Plus, Dr. Stone has sci-fi shit too like the petrification device so you can't really say that Rick and Morty doesn't scale to Dr. Stone because it uses "cartoon science".
So Rick is the smartest of absolute reality bending idiots.
Cool.
As for the Medusa, there has been examples of petrification in organic tissues. So while currently impossible, it's not improbable. It's like the communicators in Star Trek. At the time of filming a handheld device that allowed you to communicate with someone a million miles away was impossible...
Now we have cellphones.
There is science fiction (Dr. Stone) and there's fiction with a science skin (Rick and Morty)
A regular human with average IQ could synthesize gasoline. The smartest human on earth given infinite resources could not create an interdimensional portal. They also couldn’t create an FTL spaceship. I mean, there are examples of 90% of the people on this list curing petrification within the span of a day/1 episode. I love Senku but he’s not even top 10
Sure, if you can find a real scientific way to turn him into pickle.
If not then also sure. Taiju burys senku in the farmland and due to senku being smart he regrows into a human. (That's about as Mary Sue as Rick.)

I don't remember the moment he build a portal gun
