      Hmmm that’s a tough one. One person in history then it perhaps might be Isambard Kingdom Brune as he made so many cool structures and ships etc I’d really like to meet him and ask how he came up with them all

      Leonardo da Vinci – he was one of the greatest scientific geniuses of all time, and some of his work was hundreds of years ahead of his time. Plus he was pretty good at art, so I’d like to find out how he got to be so good at so many things….

      Either him, or William Webb-Ellis, who “invented” rugby

      Good question. I’d like to talk to Shackleton or Magellan or another world explorer who traveled across the seas.

      My teenage self wants to answer Kurt Cobain (singer of Nirvana who I adored when he was alive) but my adult self probably would say Svante Arrhenius, a scientist born in the 1850s who first realised that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can influence warming – so he was one of the first to discover climate change. Its amazing that this was known about 150 years ago and yet we still are not doing everything we can to prevent it from impacting.
