Einstein.

He was a generally great guy and had very progressive social views, so it would be fun to talk to him about the current state of the world.

Also a lot of his theories around relativity and theories of quantum physics have been proven recently. It would be amazing to see his mind be blown when he realises both sides were right and what that means for how a theory of everything needs to look like.

To say he was a generally great guy really overlooks how awful he was to women. He was no doubt brilliant, but he had some very serious character flaws. And unfortunately, he had an echo chamber of peers and a rockstar celebrity status that only worked to reinforce his shitty behavior and backwards views. It's not super uncommon for brilliant people to be absolutely nightmares on a personal level. Imagine being an absolutely brilliant scientist that gets married only to be completely forbidden from science and the things you love, and then reduced to being a maid for a madman with tons of insanely particular demands.

Yeah I'd love to discuss just the world and life with him.

Curie would be fun too.

Keep Newton away from me. And wasn't hawking on the epstein island?

As far as ones who actually did things there I'm not sure that Hawking would have even been physically capable at a point where he was famous.

Hawking was such a feminist he didn't want to see women get on their knees.
And he was so smart he figured out kids don't have to!
