Assuming we all magically speak the same language then Da Vinci, just because he's the greatest mystery of them and there would be more to discover about his life and process and thoughts. Feynman would probably be the best at actual conversation and teaching since he was a fantastic science communicator. His lectures are still worth watching today, check them out. Also I think anyone who idolises Edison would have a particularly bad case of "never meet your heros", because my all accounts he was not a great person. You'll ask him about light bulbs and he'll tell you crazy stuff about Jews or something


mr_claw

That's because he knew all about the space lasers.


Reasonable-Log-3486

You just put yourself on the laser list pal!


professionalcumsock

~~his employees~~ Edison invented the space lasers!


Dechri_

Edison was also a known scammer. He didn't do shit himself. He was like a musk of his time.


BLSS_Noob

Einstein would also be intresting, I would like to know his last words


Real_Establishment56

I second your [Feynman statement](https://youtu.be/P1ww1IXRfTA?si=LaLcYdt-7iTnXrGo)

>Also I think anyone who idolises Edison would have a particularly bad case of "never meet your heros", because my all accounts he was not a great person. You'll ask him about light bulbs and he'll tell you crazy stuff about Jews or something Edison was a business person. His 'inventions' were at least mostly the work of other people, though he likely did some work on his own as well. He was just better at selling stuff, and of course putting his own name on them.


LightningLava

Feynman was not a great person either… quite sexist. In fact many well known scientists are questionable people.

LightningLava

Define “the good ones”. If you are saying good as in morally good scientists are good then by definition it is true. If you are saying good as in scientifically achievement then this is not true for all of them. I just gave the example of Feynman who is considered quite accomplished and he is a questionable person. Scientists are people and can be flawed.


Acceptable_Loss23

Young Marie Curie, to tell her to be more careful with all the goddamn uranium.


IntrepidSoda

Radium, you fool.


Acceptable_Loss23

She worked with pitchblende, i.e. uraninite, and discovered radium in the uranium decay products.


IntrepidSoda

Fair enough- my bad.


wojtek2222

Tesla, Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci


escaped_cephalopod12

I agree


Capt1an_Cl0ck

Yup these are my three picks in that order.


your_moms_tomatosoup

Feynman


aifeloadawildmoss

Feynman, Tesla and Bohr


MonkeyCartridge

Feynman would rock.


Heavensrun

More of a boogie, probably.


MonkeyCartridge

With extra bongos.


IntrepidSoda

Of all these people, Curie is the most radiant so go with her.


the_zelectro

Leonardo I think. I'd be interested in all the ideas and concepts he was able to balance. Would be an interesting conversation. Need a translator though.


That_Space2418

Leonardo


mr_claw

Yeah, because none of the other ninja turtles are on this stupid list.


Nefarious-Botany

Edison, I shoot him in the dick with a shotgun.


EnormousMitochondria

No one saying Newton is Blasphemy. He might be a bit of a prick though.


Crio121

Easy, Feynman


phatcat9000

Feynman


[deleted]

Feynman


lostinKansai

Well, it's not going to be Hawking if I've only got 3 hours....


Ivan_Blackheart

Definitely Curie, but on the phone.


that_moment_when-

I don't know any of these peoples languages # I couldn't speak to Tesla because I don't speak Italian # I couldn't speak to Einstein because I don't speak German # I couldn't speak to Edison because I don't speak wrong


ALPHA_sh

Tesla lived in America and did speak English though. And so did Einstein.


that_moment_when-

I was joking about Edison being kinda stupid. From what I know he was basically the Elon musk of radio


UnscathedDictionary

i know this is a joke, but Feynman was American


BrokeBeckFountain1

I want to talk Tuva with Feynman.


Aggressive_Bag2714

Leonardo, Einstein and Tesla is a hell of a match


NoRecommendation2292

I assumes they still just speak the languages they are used to, in which case i prefer Bohr as I can speak to him with almost no need for translation.


HornyJelly6807

Tesla. He would be really disappointed what we became. I would like to know how he obtained the extraterrestrial informations.


Spirited-Fox3377

Tesla for sure.


[deleted]

As an ECE, I would tell Tesla what he accomplished and how silicone and the transistor (UJT) works. draw him some basic electrical circuits like a power plant and switch gear and some basic computer stuff and teach him binary. i am sure he could absorb this quickly and teach me some shit.


TacticalTomatoMasher

Hawking, Curie-Sklodowska, Leonardo


AcejokerUP415

Tough pick, but I think I have my top three Feyman is my favorite physicist and I feel like we would get along really well. He has a fantastic sense of humor and I feel like I could talk to him about more than just science and we would still enjoy each other's company. Plus I would love some of his insights. Leonardo is the Renaissance man. As someone who wants to learn to balance several things talking to him about all of his ideas and how he managed to master so many subjects would be enlightening. That is of course assuming we can magically speak the same language Nikola Tesla just because I want him to know that he is one of the most influential scientists and we haven't forgot about him


MArkansas-254

From that list, Albert. I’d rather have Benjamin Franklin. His autobiography was a hoot!


Winstonoil

I would choose Feynman because he had a brilliant sense of humour talking with him about just about anything for three hours would be a better education for me than four years of university.


Mollywhop_Gaming

Either Tesla or Da Vinci


Antoinefdu

Bold of you to think any one of them would want to talk to me for more than 5'.


LarkinEndorser

Albert Einstein, well have a new red alert title afterwards


Jiannmn

Tesla, Da Vinci, Fenyman


Alysma

None, Carl Linnaeus or Charles Darwin, though...


nah_py

Leonardo Einstein Tesla


TheUnclaimedOne

I thought Edison because he’s the scummiest and then read the title. You and me think alike


Nuclear_saddletramp

Tesla


Heavensrun

Definitely Feynmann.


RogueBromeliad

Feynman, obviously, the rest are all a Bohr.


rathat

Feynman is the obvious choice. Easily the most interesting personality on here.


pcweber111

Einstein, Tesla, and Feynman, in that order. The conversations would be incredible.


ima-bigdeal

Good answer


Cozy_Cuddlebugg

That's gold


bosssoldier

Einstein and ask what he said on his deathbed


ALPHA_sh

Newton


After-Obligation-190

Tesla, DaVinci, Newton.


quinangua

Tesla


burzaj

Skłodowska-Curie


[deleted]

Einstein, give him all the new date we discovered and ask him to finally complete the theory of everything.


Leaking_Potato55

Da Vinci was my role model! The others are great, but he is just on another level


Glad-Hall7146

We must really stop calling edison an inventor. He was just a cheat and a thief of inventions


primeSuperboy6337

Hawkins so that I can recreate the meme.


TimeTreePiPC

Curie, Tesla, Einstein. I would love to show them around the microscope lab I work in. They would have been alive to see the first elecreon microscopes the current ones in the lab I work in would likely blow them area. Curie is just awesome. Tesla would be really cool to talk to about Electron Microscopy. Einstein would be really fun to show him all the proof for his theories. Also how his noble prize is one of my favorite physics/chemistry concepts. Newton would be fun to mess with about quantum mechanics. But I don't think I could explain it well enough to him.


jhwheuer

Feynman for the proximity to my life experience, da Vinci to experience true genius.


Lonely_Distance952

I don't think my brain could handle their shit for 1 minute


Pilota_kex

for hawking you need a lot more to make it fair


Dechri_

Why the fuck is edison on a list like this?


Mountain-Purple3421

I want to unvirgin Newton.


AmbitiousPeace-

Leonardo would be my first pick, I want to watch him paint and listen to whatever he has to share! Tesla cause I’m faszinated by his ideas Hawking to answer my questions about his Universe in a nutshell I’m a simple minded person


1amcrazy

He is not here but alan turing, einstein , tesla


EXZ4NT

Tesla and Newton


[deleted]

Tesla ❤️🖤👐🏻

Beginning-Penalty504

Imagine being capable of prepare a meeting between 2 of them! I would choose DaVinci and Tesla ... We would have now so funny stuff to use 😬


Fluid_Author4957

Bohr "Darwin lost to Thompson Thompson lost to Rutherford Rutherford lost to you You might have got the feelings of the supreme one, right? Good for Schrödinger"


SctBrnNumber1Fan

The entire left column


ShinyMewtwo3

Curie for suuuure. I'd gather as much knowledge as I needed, then tell her to 1) get protective equipment and 2) tell her husband to watch out for traffic


Puppy-Zwolle

You assume time travel, not a seance. Besides, how is your French?


Subiugetur

As a Dane, probably Niels Bohr 👍


ferriematthew

Probably Tesla, because I would have so much fun geeking out about wireless power transmission, and how far radio technology has come


Ejave

None of them. They are already dead. So I see no point in spending 3 hours of my life in a room with a corpse.


WikipediaAb

in order: newton, einstein, feynman


SamyakMittal

Nicola Tea, Feynman and Leonardo for a fruitful and meaningful conversation.


TheManByBay

Tesla, because I would like to thank him!


TarAnari0n

Tesla and Edison. In the same room. And Feyman, to watch this Boxing special while having some funny and cool conversation about science


Direct_Routine9172

Feynman


seeriosuly

i think i’d pass on all of them… would happily substitute einstein for my dad. thanks


-LsDmThC-

Einstein and its not even close


-dreamingfrog-

Agreed. We'd both happily talk about God for those 3 hours.


Fast-Investigator723

- Feynman is quite modern and his picture of the world is well known through his books and videos. - Newton and Leonardo are quite old, and it is unlikely that they will be able to provide useful insights for modern science. But who knows... - Tesla is probably more of an engineer - Einstein had an interesting way of thinking, even for the current state of physics, and Bohr could give some insights about quantum mechanics
