      Hi coops. Thats an interesting question. I think I would like to meet either Isaac Newton or Charles Darwin because they were both extemely influential scientists of their time and went against the popular belief of society at the time and continued to persue their scientific ideas when everyone else was against them, which is extremely brave and hard to do. Ultimately we wouldn’t be as far along in scientific discovery as we are with out either of them!

      Hi Coops,

      I think I’d visit Rosalind Franklin. She was involved in working out the structure of DNA and I still find the structure of DNA an amazing thing so I’d love to know what it was like to be the 1st to discover it.

      Hi coops, I would definitely want to visit Charles Darwin. He wrote the book ‘On the Origin of Species’ which first proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection. I would love to sit and have a cup of tea with him and have a long chat about evolution 🙂

      Hi coops666! I’d like to have a look around Leonardo da Vinci’s workshop – he built so many amazing things, like a first type of bicycle, a long time before anybody else thought them up! As well as painting some great paintings. If I get a second choice, I’d like to meet up with Einstein too!
