I'd love to see Stephen Hawking come to Atlantis, and have them write him to dwarf McKay's intellectual & scientific levels. Somewhere in between Asgard & McKay/Carter, roughly just under the Tollan.
I realize that no real scientist is even in the same stratosphere as McKay, but this is SciFi. It would just be nice to see a Tau'ri garnering his respect like that, plus I think the world's foremost expert on Astrology/Cosmology/Physics would have a place in Atlantis. Just a guest spot would be cool.
McKay: Listen up, we've been working on deciphering this laboratory's use for the past 2 months. So I am assigning Zelenka's team here for long-term study, along with 1/3 of my department.
Hawking (interjects): Done.
McKay: WHAT?
Hawking: I've written a 1200 page report on the exact function of this laboratory when it was operational. The last 300 pages are precise directions on how to operate the systems with 22% greater efficiency than the Atlantean technique.
McKay: .....
