      I can’t think of one in particular, but I would travel back to about 1910, when Einstein, Neils Bohr, Max Planck etc. were beginning to unravel the theories of quantum physics. It must have been a very exciting time.

      Goodness, the options are endless…. I might drop in on Marie and Pierre Curie and ask if they thought they should be wearing some more protective equipment when handling all those radioactive materials!

      Leonardo da Vinci, he was an all rounder, he was an amazing painter, inventor , scientist , basically everything. I would love to just meet him and just see how he was in person and maybe see how his mind worked!
