If you could have a 30 minute interview with any one person alive or dead who would you chose and why?

I would interview Issac Newton. He was certainly one of the greatest scientific minds of all time in my opinion. His work in mathematics, optics, gravitation, and mechanics was unbelievable, and many people today would not be able to pick up the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica and know what to make of it. I would like to ask him about his general method of generating creative ideas and theories. Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com

Awesome choice, I could appreciate some time with him myself, I enjoy math and logistics. So do you think you could interview him without giving away anything you know know since you have the timeline advantage?

Why not give away current knowledge? His level of genius could probably take in current knowledge and come up with completely new breakthroughs. If I'm limited to only 30 minutes however, I would just ask a few questions about his thought processes and shut up for the most part. Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com

It is too bad that we have lost some of these great thinkers with no insight as to how they arrived at their conclusions. Is it a specific way of thinking or is it a flash of insight that propels them on to greater wisdom. And of course you have already recognized one of the greatest methods for acquiring wisdom.

Very interesting choice, I think as one of the richest men in the world it is safe to say he earns more than you or I...:}... Once the computer age came to bear the natural predators came out too. It's sort of like chemistry...for every action there is an equal and opostie reaction.
