Feynman, he's the one you can drink a beer with.

Though if I spoke German I would show up for Einsteins last 3 hours.

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).

Leonardo for sure! I want to know if his 4 hour cycle was true and how did he manage to do it. Did it actually helped with his studies, art and inventions?

Ok we can also talk about Mona if we have time.

Why does only "Leonardo" get the first name

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That's the full name he had at birth.
He was an illegitimate child, his father, Ser Piero, acknowledged him later so he became Leonardo di ser Piero

"da Vinci" meaning "from Vinci" came later.

So Leonardo is accurate, calling him da Vinci is not

How about Tesla and Edison halfway thru I hold down Edison so Tesla can give him an ass whooping.

Newton so we could talk about both being life-long virgins.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 6 days ago

Leonardo. We both are AuDHD so it'll be a semi-productive 3 hours.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 days ago

i would imagine interview with leonardo could help historians quite a lot.

So that’s like 3 questions with Hawking.

Feels like there is an imposter between those eight scientific greats

As an art and anatomy person, DaVinci of course!! („ಡωಡ„) Could I even formulate a coherent sentence? Who knows! Surely he has somthing we could cut up and poke around in if words fail... Or just to see him work on whatever, Oh man, what a dream.

It's definitely Newton for me, I wanna know how far he really got on the Philosopher's Stone!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Even putting aside the science, Einstein just seems like he was a really good dude. I feel like he'd be a chill person to hang with.

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.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Tesla, I want to know all he knows.
