As a biologist, I'm offended that there isn't Darwin, nor Mayr, nor Lesquereux, nor Jay Gould nor Margulis.

So I take Leonardo. I also like to draw and paint. I would like to say Marie, but unfortunately I'm not immune to radiation.

Feynman. Dude must have some crazy stories. Seriously, who cares about science?

I think Tesla. I want to ask him about a bunch of the rumors and conspiracy theories about him. I'm sure almost all of them are bogus, but I'd love to know.

My son picked Einstein. He's curious what his last words were.

Hawking was probably way more familiar with the works, achievements and maybe even personal anecdotes of everyone in this post than I could ever hope to be. Thus, sitting down with him feels like the best deal.

Which one has more therapist training? 😂

Davinci for sure because of the breadth of genius and imagination seems more approachable to a casual conversation, plus history has less on him.

Other's have so much depth in their fields that I wouldn't be able to converse intelligently on anything they are famous for. Having a chat with Feynman would be my second choice because his talks to laymen audiences are quite good.

A pint or five with either would be fun.

Probably Edison but only to tell him how much of a fuckhead he will be remembered as.

I'd let DaVinci hit my vape

Feel like I would just disappoint 3 different people. What a cruel thing to bring someone back from the dead for.

Marie Curie three times and Imma sit real close to her so I can check out early and miss a whole lot of what's currently going on.

How, they're all dead.

Seems like it will be a one sided conversation. They're all dead.

Curie three times. Her work was so groundbreaking that she got name recognition on the same level as the rest of them as a woman in the late 1800s. Based on my experiences with modern women in stem, I'd expect she worked way harder to get where she did than any of the rest of them and as such I'd expect her insight to hold a lot more value. I'd pick Pierre too if he was also on the list

Hmmm tough choice. I doubt I would be able to understand DaVinci or Newton. I would prefer to berate Edison. I wouldn't want Curie to irradiate me. Tesla was awesome but kind of nutty. I didn't know Enough about Bohr. So probably Feyman or Einstein. I read Feyman's book so I think I would have a lot to talk about. But I think the win would go to Einstein for me. I just have to know how he came up with it all by just sort of thinking about it. I would hope he would have the best chance of explaining it in a way I could understand. Plus I speak German, so if all else fails we can just talk about spetzle.

Tesla. Gotta know about the death ray.

Tesla, to check on many mysteries (totally not to get actual death ray).

Or maybe Skłodowska-Curie, to get self radiated.

Or Bphr, for beer.

Da Vinci, I will show him modern technology and get his opinion. Actually I'd just show him planes and tanks.

Tesla but I'd just let him talk about Martha the whole time.

Curie looks tired. If I'm gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I'll invite her and we'll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

No love for my boy Newton?

Leonard Euler. He invented the basis for all of their works, besides Newton and Leonardo I guess.

Leonhard Euler, without a doubt.

We can get to talk with any of them... like, it is a time machine to transport us into times when they were 5yo at their times? None said what age these persons would be.

Or maybe it is more like necromancy? yes please!

Tesla. let's talk about the bird.

I'd happily chat with Marie Curie for 3 hours while Einstein and Bohr argue with each other in the background.
