      Hi again Beki and Eliza,

      Apart from Professor Warwick – who is a famous scientist and I work with him, I’d like to meet those brilliant people at DeepMind. This is a company researching in artificial intelligence and was bought by Google. This year DeepMind’s Alpha Go computer programme beat a champion human Go player. Go is considered way more complex than chess for machines, but AlphaGo succeeded due to the innovative work of the scientists at DeepMind, including Demis Hassabis: https://deepmind.com/

      Hi Beki and Eliza,

      I’d love to meet Richard Feynman, as he was always very good at describing complicated scientific ideas in an understandable way.

      Peter
