Tesla. From what I have heard, he may have been a little eccentric ( paranoid even? ) so it’d be fun to see if I could get him to think I’m some sort of government agent looking to stop him from doing what he does.
Let's hear it, little lemmings.

Definitely not Feynman. He developed his whole public clown persona only to distract from his guilt over participating in mass murder. Curie was literally to radioactive to safely get anywhere near to. Her remains are sealed in lead. Which of the other ones had least toxic masculinity?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science. I’d also probably s his d because he’s technically a dilf. 🫦

Seeing your answer made me go "oh damn, yeah, I can’t believe I didn’t say Turing in my answer (I chose Einstein), because he would definitely be my choice. I must’ve missed that he was on there. After going back up to check the image, I conclude that you cheated, because Turing wasn’t an option :P
I’ll allow it though, because it’s a good answer
Lemminary@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh, shoot, I forgot to check the image and went straight into horny goblin mode. Whoops. 😅
Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Feynman, he’s the one you can drink a beer with.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So that’s like 3 questions with Hawking.

“So, did you ever have any plans to build that helicopter thing you drew?”
“Chi sei? Dove sono? Come sono arrivato qui?”
“Sorry, what?”

You could use a phone to translate what people who speak in modern languages are saying, but I don’t know how well it would translate to and from 15th century Italian.

No love for my boy Newton?

Leonardo for sure! I want to know if his 4 hour cicle was true and did he manage to do do it. Did it actually helped with his studies, art and inventions?
Ok we can also talk about Mona if we have time.
yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
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!
yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
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.
glitchdx@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Tesla. let’s talk about the bird.
Matriks404@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Probably the ones which worked in fields that advanced the most. Although I probably would not be able to explain shit.

Which one has more therapist training? 😂
yoriaiko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
None said these 3 hours are for free. Actual therapist may still be cheaper ;c

Da Vinci, I will show him modern technology and get his opinion. Actually I’d just show him planes and tanks.
Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 8 months ago
How about Tesla and Edison halfway thru I hold down Edison so Tesla can give him an ass whooping.

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.

Leonardo seems the most interesting of the bunch.
Artist, scientist, inventor, wizard appearance gay icon all in one package.
Echolynx@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Literally a Renaissance man.
Hadriscus@jlai.lu 8 months ago
Probably Leonardo. I’d love to hear him recount how many models he fucked while wearing his signature bandana
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Does this interaction change history? If not, none of them.

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
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 8 months ago
Skłodowska-Curie also spoke Russian, French, English and likely German.
angrystego@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Did Tesla speak no second language?
Nikls94@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh my bad, he spoke 7 languages. Please add Czech, Hungarian, Latin, German, Italian, French and English.
God that man was smart
Adalast@lemmy.world 8 months ago
God, I literally cannot choose. That list is probably my perfect list of scientific figures in history. Aside from Edison, he can burn in hell.
The only ones I might add would be Goodenough and Gauss.

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.
krunklom@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I pick the tenth option: yo momma. Except we don’t talk.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
