  Archimedes, from ancient greece. I’d tell him about all the marvels of the modern world and all we’d learnt. He’d love it.

  I know it’s two people but Francis Crick and James Watson. They discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953 which gave us a model of how genetic material is coded and replicated. I really like to know their thought processes and how they came up with their ideas.
