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
Curie, obviously.
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.
Where's Von Neumman?!
We need to get Euler in there as well!
none; boring AF.
AI deepfake? Meh.
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.
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.
I would love the chance to make fun of Feynman for 3 hours
Newton so we could talk about both being life-long virgins.
Da Vinci, I will show him modern technology and get his opinion. Actually I'd just show him planes and tanks.
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
Leonardo so I can tell him "Non capisco l'italiano".
Tesla or Curie I think
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
