Can you give it away ? If so, can you divide the time ?
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
I'd happily chat with Marie Curie for 3 hours while Einstein and Bohr argue with each other in the background.
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.

Marie Curie three times and Imma sit real close to her so I can check out early and miss a whole lot of what's currently going on.
"I have spare pockets if you want me to help carry your tubes"
sounds like 10/10 workplace harassment
Hedy Lamar and Mileva Marić-Einstein
Probably Edison but only to tell him how much of a fuckhead he will be remembered as.
Tesla. I feel there's so much we don't know, let alone understand, about his ideas. Have we overly sane/crazy washed him?
He was probably a bit crazy.
True, but probably more interesting than Newton, who would just keep talking about god the whole time.
and apples
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.
Fully agree with that. Tesla got thoroughly screwed over.
Can I pick 2 and have them talk to each other instead? Would love to watch Hawking get Newton up to speed on some stuff.
Curie looks tired. If I'm gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I'll invite her and we'll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.
Hawking was probably way more familiar with the works, achievements and maybe even personal anecdotes of everyone in this post than I could ever hope to be. Thus, sitting down with him feels like the best deal.

Dick and I are heading to the strip club!
Feynman, over a beer, at a strip club.
from a scientist's point of view i'm not sure, but if i wanted to make a lot of money then definetly edison
Leonard Euler. He invented the basis for all of their works, besides Newton and Leonardo I guess.

It's definitely Newton for me, I wanna know how far he really got on the Philosopher's Stone!
AI deepfake? Meh.
To make it fair you should get extra time with hawking
To ask him what he saw on the island
Davinci for sure because of the breadth of genius and imagination seems more approachable to a casual conversation, plus history has less on him.
Other's have so much depth in their fields that I wouldn't be able to converse intelligently on anything they are famous for. Having a chat with Feynman would be my second choice because his talks to laymen audiences are quite good.
A pint or five with either would be fun.
I don't speak medieval Italian so sadly he's off my list
Presumably if we figured out how to bring back the dead and thoroughly decomposed, we could solve the language barrier.
Babel fish, you say?
But actually I intended to indicate something more here... Almost all of these will have spoken English and it's a bit slanted y'know? I'd take Aristotle lol
Edison. For 3 hours, in a padded room, where no-one can hear his screams.

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
You don't get to pick 3. Which is the top one?
I'd let DaVinci hit my vape
I'd share a blunt with Sagan.
Leonardo so I can tell him "Non capisco l'italiano".
Feels like there is an imposter between those eight scientific greats

Feynman. Dude must have some crazy stories. Seriously, who cares about science?

"What did you do on Epstein Island, Steven?"
Studied young black holes.
