Quite frankly, it is a subject that I really have not put any thought into before. We all have people with whom we would like to meet and talk, but most of them are either alive now or were alive in our lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>I think that meeting someone from \u2018history\u2019 would be a major challenge. Forgetting the fact that, to my knowledge, time travel has not been discovered, I think that the biggest question to ask would be if we would be able to communicate with that person? Let\u2019s say that I chose Abraham Lincoln. Even though he was living about 150 years ago, his \u2018American\u2019 English and my \u2018American\u2019 English are not the same <u>dialect<\/u>. I am sure that we could communicate, but there would most certainly be miscommunications. The further you go back in history the more difficult it would become, not to mention the fact that many of us might want to talk to someone from a particular part of the world. For example, some people might want to talk to Genghis Khan or one of the Pharaohs from Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>However since this entire idea is <u>sci-fi<\/u>, I guess my answer would be either Jesus or King Solomon, possibly even George Washington.
