Feynman, mainly because he was an amazing professor and knows how to talk to people.
Einstein and Newton disliked people, so they would be terrible conversationslists outside their areas of expertise. I think that was true of Leonardo as well. Edison is also out because he was a dick.
I was going to say Feynman for the same reason. Outside his classes it sounds like the guy was a lot of fun to be around.
Edison. For 3 hours, in a padded room, where no-one can hear his screams.
The irony is at least three of these people would make you want to do this to them by the end while Edison was able to do what he did because he could hold a conversation
Very true.
Feynman, over a beer, at a strip club.
I’ll be the dancer. Just make sure I can hear your conversation.
Tesla. I feel there’s so much we don’t know, let alone understand, about his ideas. Have we overly sane/crazy washed him?
Apparently he didn’t trust patents etc. He would come up with fanciful ideas, that sounded vaguely plausible, as cover for what he was actually working on.
At this point picking apart the Good, the bad and the cover is an …interesting exercise.
Look what Edison did. I don’t blame him for not trusting how the business world works.
Are they time traveling to see me, or am I time traveling to see them?
Because if it’s the latter, Hawking on June 28, 2009.
Was that his famous time travel party?
Yes. Would be rude to turn down an invitation.
