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.

Carl Sagan

Tesla. Gotta know about the death ray.

I wanna talk to Isaac Newton about his wizard alchemy hobby

Edit: I misread it. I read it as "you can talk to 3 of these"

Einstein – German and English

Hawking – English

Edison – English

Tesla – Serbocroatic

Curie – Polish

Newton – English

Feynman – English

da Vinci – Italian

Bohr – Danish

I‘d love to see the Tesla, Da Vinci and Einstein - all of them being incredibly smart but no one speaks the Same Language. Heck I think they’ll just switch to Latin to understand each other lol

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

Tesla :-)

Who's gonna tell Tesla what his name stands for now?

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

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.

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

Hawkings, how was Epstein island?

Leonhard Euler, without a doubt.

Feynman because at least he'd talk on my level

Where's Von Neumman?!

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

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.

Everyone but that guy in the bottom right.

What a Bohr…

Leonardo.

I have a long held theory based on the history of the Mona Lisa (Being recognized as a genderswapped self portrait he literally entitled "the Happy one" carried around by the artist and gifted to his gay lover after death) that the artist was trans.

I would absolutely love to potentially verify this because the idea that one of the most famous paintings in the world has been a trans gender affirming portrait in plain sight of art historians this whole time with nobody cluing in and writing a proper paper about it - is just kind of the best.

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.

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

Newton, because he was a revolutionary thinker for his time & it would be most fulfilling to just show him the wonders of the modern world & see the excitement in his eyes. Their all way to smart for me to gain any scientific knowledge of value that others hadn't already, so might as well make Newtons day & show him some cool stuff.

I think Feynman would be interesting based on the videos of him I've seen. It probably also aligns best with where my knowledge is. Einstein is probably too theoretical and too much math I don't know (or have long forgotten in the decades since I learnt it).

I have zero Polish and my French is mostly forgotten so Curie is out, though she would be my second choice of those listed (I don't recall if she spoke English off-hand).
