Davinci, Einstein, and Skłodowska-Curie
i want to have a walk with Davinci and see how he sees the world
i want to vibe with Einstein and see how well we click (i think he'd be a good friend)
and i want to chillout with Skłodowka-Curie and chat in Polish about stuff
i like science, but i'm nowhere near a level where i could make a conversation about their passions they'd find interesting, so i'm happy to listen and see their mind work
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.

It's definitely Newton for me, I wanna know how far he really got on the Philosopher's Stone!
Why does only "Leonardo" get the first name
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
Everyone but that guy in the bottom right.
What a Bohr…
Hawkings, how was Epstein island?
So that’s like 3 questions with Hawking.
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).
But we have so many "quotes" from Einstein. It would be fun to go one by one asking if he really said that.
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.

Tesla, I want to know all he knows.
Newton to talk about philosophy Leonardo to talk about art Feynman to tell each other funny jokes about lock picking and messing with people; hate each other at approximately 2:15, not enough time for fist fight, ah well
Da Vinci, I will show him modern technology and get his opinion. Actually I'd just show him planes and tanks.
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.
Newton so we could talk about both being life-long virgins.
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.

I would love the chance to make fun of Feynman for 3 hours
Tesla or Curie I think
Dick and I are heading to the strip club!
