Kip Thorne is awesome. his book got me interested in physics. plus he's the only one on the list that actually returned my email.

Charandaskar- he just makes sense to me. I understand him.

Throw Kaku in there too, for favorite not best. Who else came and talked to us?

truth be told though I got to go with Einstein. the only physicist who's word I take as gospel. he just gets righter and righter as time goes on.
