      I would invite Einstein, Marie Curie and Leonard da Vinci who lived a lot earlier than the other two.

      What a question! I think I need to Poach Marie Curie from Thibaut! Then I’d have Steven Hawking and Antoine Lavoisier!

      I’m sure you know Marie Curie and Hawking and why I might like a conversation with them, however LaVoisier you may not be so familiar with! We was a french chemist in the 19th century who was later killed in the revolution, however he disproved a theory which had been longstanding in the science community about a material called Phlogiston! The obsession with Phlogiston existing had held science back for years at the time, so it was a really valuable discovery!
