Time travel is awesome in movies and games. But would you really turn into this indomitable hero of knowledge and superior technology? Or would it rather be a dangerous and miserable experience?

The Industrial Revolution gave us more improvements in technology, comfort, travel ability, quality of food and life expectancy than all the improvements in the milennia before that since the dawn of agriculture. A blue collar worker who slaves off 50+ hrs day nowadays in a factory, still has better education, food, life expectancy, hygiene, clothing, chance his children will live and better(although probably not bigger) housing than even the richest kings end emperors in the history of mankind prior to the industrial revolution.

@ohgas I think you would still kill your ancestor but then if you used king crimson before you disappeared then you should stay alive. In the jojo universe your ancestor would have been fated to die by your hand and cause you to also die but if you use king crimson then he will still die but you can negate fate and live on. In conclusion just use king crimson as you kill your ancestor or immediately after and then you shouldn’t disappear

Sci-fi and fantasy author Poul Anderson actually wrote a short story called "The Man Who Came Early" about a US Army officer and MP who went back in time with a 1911 Colt.45 to Viking Era Iceland during the pagan period. He expected to save the day and get the girl but ended up instead being accused of being a sorcerer because of his "magic tool" and sparking a blood feud when he used the gun to cheat during holmgaang. He dies being hacked to pieces by a hoard of warriors after he runs out of ammo. They're shown to believe that his magic has failed him because the gods have answered their prayers. It also has a very clever workaround for the language barrier with him being trained in Icelandic as he was to be stationed there in the modern-day, allowing him to actually understand Old Norse due to how similar the languages are even now. This whole video reminds me of that story.

Probably not even really magic in their eyes. I know we like to think of medieval people as being of unparalleled levels of superstitious but people aren't idiots just because they lack modern tech. Once they examined the gun and the bullets they'd probably realize it's just some really intricate type of weapon and machinery. The Aztecs didn't think Spanish cannons were some sort of insane magic, they knew they could just run around them entirely. People are still people and they know how to connect dots.

A lot of these challenges sound like a great idea for a video game or DnD campaign. Showing up as a powerful mysterious nobody; making difficult decisions and connections to survive. Careful planning because all you have and do could just as easily kill you as elevate you. Scouring the world for resources and companions to repair, replace, or alter your equipment. Gradually becoming someone prominent and trying to figure out how to get back home or make a new one.

The language barrier is what always kills this fantasy, so unless you take guns and a small armed militia, you really couldnt take anything into that timeline that would make you wealthy because you would be a stranger to them in their lands, unable to really communicate. Any lords in the area that were alerted to your presence would most likely think you were a theif, trying to sell your previous score of stolen goods and they would most likely cut your off hands, just to be safe, even if you were trying to tell them you you were a priest the whole time lol, without a way to communicate, you wouldnt get very far in those times. But if you do want to make money and stay safe, Than you go with lots of guns, ammo and a well armed militia to protect you and eachother with and you find the richest lord or king to be a Mercenary for. At least until you can speak the language Just be careful, cause they'll kill you when you sleep to get those guns, but then if they reneg on any deal like that, then you just kill the lord, or hell kill the king, and sit on his throne, if you and your militia storm the castle they could never get you out. You could stay until you ran out of bullets, and then your . …..Royally Fucked! Lol Pun intended!

The reality is that bringing something back to the past is only as worthwhile as how much you can do with it. With a gun and crew you can kill people and force yourself into places sure, but if you don't have any sort of long term plan you'll eventually devolve to just being like other people in an era without toilet paper, at which point you lose. Knowledge on more industrious topics (chemistry, medicine, engineering) and how to apply them in the place you're going o would earn you a lot more than roleplaying as a lightning bolt for the local lord to throw at his enemies.

@@DuckieMcduck exactly, thats where you could really have fun being a man from the future. If you could go back and build the first machining platform that can cut metals to exact dimensions, then from there you can build the first factory that builds machining equipment and you could start the industrial revolution on a dime within 10 to 15 years the world would look nothing like it did when you got there. Of course the other things you take with you are a few biology and chemistry books, and instructions on how to make antibiotics and other medications, and how to break down raw Oil into all the difference Petroleum Products; kerosene, lubricant, Motor Oil, Gasoline, Diesel etc. The reason you need to build a machining factory as soon as you get here is because without it, you cant really build machines that could run on those fossil fuels because a blacksmith cant build exact precision and duplicate it over and over, to try to make something like a piston. Me personally, I think it would be cool to go back to a time when resources were abundant and people were used to something like building a house taking a long-time. Well what if you introduced them to some modern tools. You might be able to eradicate homelessness for once in the history of this damn planet.
@paulallen8109

​@@DuckieMcduck "Knowledge on more industrious topics (chemistry, medicine, engineering) and how to apply them in the place" And therein lies the problem. You lack the foundations in the society to apply that knowledge. Most of what you need as a foundation to build upon won't be around until the 1850's. Suppose you know how an internal combustion engine works in detail and manage to explain this to a Medieval scholar. You still can't manufacture even the engine block much less smaller, more complex parts such as a carburetor, fuel pumps and spark plugs. Casting processes are awfully crude and milling machines are still centuries into the future. How will you even manage to create a crude steam machine without the ability to make the parts? Do you want to show them how to make a steel bridge or steel building? Good luck, without a huge blast furnace you can't even produce steel in sufficient quantities. Do you even know how the chemical process of a modern blast furnace works? How will you be able to build a strong enough furnace which can take the very high smelting temperatures? Want to "invent" concrete for them? Good luck. You need aggregate cement first. Do you know what it consists of? They have crude concrete in the Middle Ages but none of that will be very useful for you. Also, concrete structures crumble fast without steel bars - which you don't possess in the quantities needed unless you invented the Bessemere process some 500 years ahead of time (and also solved the blast furnace problem). As for chemistry. Sigh. Aside from alcohol what could you possibly make? You need a whole chemistry industry just to make anti-septics. Medicine? The only thing you can possibly teach them is that wounds should be kept clean and that there is something called germs which we can't see but still exist and spread from people to people. Let me give you an example of how the manufacturing of certain products and goods are impossible once you reach a certain time period. Imagine if a computer designed from 2021 brought a modern laptop to the 1950's. Explaining how an integrated circuit and microprocessor works to 1950's computer scientists is the easy part. Unfortunately they lack the tools and technology to manufacture 21st century integrated circuits. There was somebody who suggested what a F-16 fighter traveling back to 1917 in WWI could do. Somebody more knowledgeable in technology stated that they simply can't reverse-engineer a F-16 in 1917 eve with technicians explaining to 1917 aviation designers how it works. Here's the funny part. They couldn't even replicate the RUBBER used in the wheels of the landing gear in 1917 much less manufacture composite materials for which advanced machines are required. There's a sci-fi novel called "The Man Who Came too Early" (1956) a 20th century American engineer somehow time-travels back to Iceland during the Viking Age. He was stationed at the American base on Iceland and speaks Icelandic which has changed little from the Viking age. While trying to implement his modern day engineering knowledge and theories for modern bridges and such he quickly realizes there's no practical way for him to build any of that with the crude tools and smithy they have. One viking observer retells one of the many failures of this American to his friends and says:"This man says that he lacks the tools to create the tools he needs." Like I said. Unless you just plan on demonstrating the most crude manufacturing methods which are possible with the "technology" they have in the Medieval era, your vast knowledge of modern medicine, engineering etc is useless.

The real issue is that the vendors then had a reputation blockade which didn't enable trade until you were at least on "unsuspicious". That took a shit ton of grinding though, and the grinding quests were really shit, compared to nowadays. The other problem was that for new players on the server, without a guild the npc's were all on "unfriendly"; if you were 'lucky'. And even if you would manage to survive until you reached "unsuspicious" you still would pay ridiculously high prices.

People tend to overestimate the price of salt in the Middle Ages. Consider that salt wasn't just used in cooking but also in preserving food, and for that you need a lot of it. To get it you can just mine it or boil sea water. Every household but the very poorest would've always had salt on hand. Try bringing stuff that's either extremely difficult or impossible to make or something that requires long and dangerous transportation routes. Clean cooking oil, cinnamon, pepper, clear glass or even just ordinary household sugar would be great trade goods. Anything made from aluminum would be priceless. You can bring a bag of your old plastic bottles or jugs and cooks as well as housewives and anyone who travels would kill each other over them since they had no storage vessels that could form an airtight seal and were sturdy and light at the same time. Wheat flour was relatively rare and highly sought after as well - most households lived on rye or barley breads and gruel and even those who could afford it would reserve white bread for special occasions, and you could sell it way under the local asking price because of how cheap it is for us. I mean shit, bring a box of good quality paper notebooks, some bottles of ink and a fountain pen to sell to a monastery and you might actually be able to afford that castle. I spend way too much of my time at work thinking about these things ;)

​@@Krawurxus I heard pepper was so valueable in certain times, you could pay your debts with it. I would also like the idea that you could teleport back and forth in time to bring stuff and experiment with certain goods. You could bring quality steel with you. Heck you could buy burgers from burgerking. I bet the would sell for alot in the middle ages considering how "otherwordly" it would taste and look like. It might become a food for kings and nobles. And unlike skallagrim i wouldnt advise bringing a sniper or hunting rifle with you. I would take a semi or fully auto rifle with 100 round mags. It makes the difference between fighting off a few people and being able to decimate 20 charging cavalry. And if you arrive with serious armor like those "juggernauts", a 100 round mag you could spread so much fear and terror among people no bandit would dare coming near you when the word spreads there is some kind of demon who can kill 20 horsemen with ease and eat arrows like they are flies. I think it some point you would have to take over a small village or a "fort". Where you can rest and be safe when you are not wearing your combat armor. And with the money you made you could pay to have guards or even befriend someone. I agree its really exciting to think about this scenario

@@MrKrusten Sure, traveling back and forth at a whim would be great and make the whole thing much safer and more convenient. The price for pepper was heavily dependent on availability, especially before sea routes to China and the Middle East were discovered because getting it meant months of overland travel through unfamiliar terrain with a caravan full of valuable goods. Same for cinnamon, saffron etc. but generally it'd fetch a good price, certainly at the quality you could deliver. We have no way of knowing how well received a modern burger would be in the Middle Ages. Chances are pretty well if you leave out the mustard and ketchup which people wouldn't be used to, and people would certainly appreciate the quality and the fact that it contains meat at all. Medieval people would be on a vegetarian diet most of the time, partly because you were only allowed to eat meat on some days due to religious reasons (lent and such) and because most people would only slaughter an animal if it stopped producing milk or laying eggs, which were a much more valuable and reliable food source. Hunting required a permit which people without either money or influence weren't granted. So having meat just because you feel like it was a display of wealth, showing you didn't really need that chicken or that cow or were allowed to go hunting. Meat is also highly perishable so unless you were gonna cook and eat the whole animal at once you had to either prepare preservation measures or get some others on board to quickly sell off the surplus. Also, some may have preferred to sell an animal for slaughter and just pocket the money, covering part of the cost for a new one. People also like to think they'd have to fight off armored knights constantly, but in day-to-day life you'd never even see anyone wearing armor. That's like expecting a modern soldier wearing full combat gear every day. Of course they only do that on deployment and even then only when they know they're gonna see action.

Stranding yourself in the 12th century isn't nearly as fun as you might think, no matter how well prepared you are. Supplies run out and unexpected situations arise. So a week or two might make for an interesting vacation, anything beyond that quickly becomes an ordeal. To hammer that point home: Compared to people in the Middle Ages we don't live like kings - we live like gods. No matter their resources, no king could have had the kind of lifestyle we enjoy: We make light appear with a wave of our hand or the press of a button or a spoken word, have multile places in our house where clean, potable hot and cold water flows at our whim. Our surroundings are kepte at a stable, comfortable temperature even in the coldest winter. We can directly talk to anyone on earth whenever we want and be anywhere on earth in a matter of hours. We can access the wealth of all of humanitys knowledge in seconds. Almost any goods we want are delivered to us in a few days at most and we need not fear a bad harvest and starvation because we just go and buy what we want without a second thought. Our food is kept fresh for days, even weeks and of the highest quality. Our surroundings are absurdly clean to Medieval people, and we have medicines that easily and reliably cure most diseases that would condemn any of them to a lifetime of suffering and an early death. Going back to a completely medieval life with no option to return to the present would suck a lot. BTW: Pepper needs a pretty hot climate to grow and can't tolerate frost at all so most of Europe is out for cultivating it 😉

Now, if all that ration was was a dozen sticks of jerky and a few carrots, I'd understand, but that's not what your carrying.

Maybe even a few sliderules (with instruction booklets so I can figure them out), which they would be able to reproduce. Add some solar powered calipers, a few micrometers, and maybe even some thermometers. But most important of all, I'd bring a bunch of wristwatches, preferably both solar-powered and self-winding mechanical. With accurate timekeeping, you can measure longitude. And if you can measure longitude, you can sail with far more accuracy than any person ever before. The cheapest Timex of today would be worth (literally) a king's ransom in the medieval era.

Chris Edwards I would bring metallurgy, paper making, printing press and basic knowledge about magnetism. Also couple books about those subjects. When I first arrived, I would keep my head down. Work for a local shop or farm for a month or two, then go find and ask a blacksmith to be his apprentice, and then toiling for a few years. After that I would open my own printing workshop and start making books for the rich and also open a school to teach local people (i.e. commoners) how to read and write. Hopefully, a local noble or some rich merchants will notice my effort and become my patron. From that I would probably start a guild and spreading my knowledge in earnest (but not too radical as to attract church's attention). If local people are proved to be smart enough to learn my 'modern' metallurgy (i.e. 19th century metallurgy), I would introduce to them a modern gear mechanism, escapement design, electro magnetism, and steam engine. Otherwise I would just pursue merchant's life. Start selling bonds to people (and possibly founded the first stock exchange), fund an expedition to the Americas and Asia, selling my fine metalwares for spices, tea, and silk.

Read the short story "The Man Who Came Early" by Poul Anderson. A guy who is an MP in the US Army stationed in modern Iceland is transported back in time with only a loaded 1911 Colt.45 pistol to the age of the Vikings. He's seen as a dark sorcerer who has to be taken down after he pulls a Raiders of the Lost Ark during a duel. The story is pretty much a piece-by-piece deconstruction of the notion of time-travelers attempting to change the past without any prior knowledge of a certain period. The author cleverly gets around the language issue by having him know Icelandic per his military training, which is the closest living language to Old Norse and has changed little in over a thousand years.

@@Fl4kFire You're quite welcome. The Vikings in the story see his military haircut and note his strange dialect (modern Icelandic which is mostly intelligible) and assume he is a runaway slave. They ignore the pistol as it's assumed to be a religious talisman. He's put to work pumping the bellows for the local blacksmith forge and screws even a simple task like that up. He tries romancing a local woman, but her betrothed challenges him to a duel. He beats the Norseman to a pulp, dishonoring him by being defeated in the manner of slaves. He pulls a sword only for the soldier to shoot him. He then ends up on the run as a feared dark sorcerer until he runs out of bullets and is taken down by arrow and spear. They fear the wrath of the gods if they don't give a seeming master of "clever-craft" a proper burial. His body is unearthed in the 60s by an archeological team who are puzzled by a piece of rusty metal that resembles a pistol. Great story. Google it.

I totally agree... Theres a really neat fictional book called 1632 by Eric Flint, and the difference from the normal trope is that part of a small coal miners city is transplanted back in time (and space), so they kind of have a community with them and they're not all of a single mind/purpose either, they have guns and that's a temporary advantage, but they still face all sorts of hardships, supplies, logistics... Running out of novacane, having history books stolen by spies, etc. It's really neat the level of detail they explore.

I think specific science and engineering knowledge could give your faction a massive advantage if you could get the influence to wield it, but I suppose that's the challenge. I'm sure I've already read such stories among the prolific isekai fantasy manga or web novels. For example, "Release that witch" Story of a guy with engineering knowledge that reincarnated into a medieval fantasy world as a prince, then used his knowledge to build a significant economic and military advantage for his faction. Unfortunately most of those isekai stories are trash, self insertion power fantasies where some average nobody from modern day gains a significant advantage in whatever fantasy setting due to his meagre knowledge.

I'm inclined to think that the first thing you need to do when time traveling is research, Research, RESEARCH! Know everything you can about the time and place you're going to, get everything you can that can help set you up when you get there. The second thing is to not go back alone. Take a number of people with different specialties and build a power base from which you can operate and fall back on when things inevitably go bad for you. Finally, expand your sphere of influence so that you can make connections, build a reputation, and finally start making an impact within your lifetime. Whatever you do, you can't rely solely on what you, a single stranger in a strange land, can carry on your person or possess for knowledge and experience.

I'd argue that wearing funny clothes and speaking modern English is actually your best bet for blending in. If you show up dressed in a rough approximation of what the locals were dressed in with a broken accent and no connections they'd probably think you were some kind of spy or an insane person. Meanwhile if you show up in a hoodie and loose fitting sweat pants while speaking in a completely unintelligible language and haggling with alien coinage (no paper money since that wouldn't catch on until the late renaissance) they'd probably just assume you're some foreigner from the east, maybe a trader or a merchant if you're carrying around a lot of exotic modern produce and strange money. Going out of your way to not blend in may be a better alternative than trying to act like one of them since you'd probably end up falling into the uncanny valley while attempting to fit in, whereas just not bothering could make them drop their guard. So long as you don't do anything that would make you look like a witch or a sorcerer (bringing electronics, for instance).

+Dídac Mateu Martínez de valdivieso Well naturally that's when you whip out your assault rifle while blasting Metallica on your portable speaker! Or alternatively just invite a few friends on your time travel expedition to act as your guards, have them bring modern but slightly exotic reproduction weapons (Chinese Daos, Persian Shamshirs, etc) so that none of the locals could tell that they weren't authentic. Some of them (mostly craftsmen and smiths) may be able to tell that a reproduction English longsword is "off", but I doubt anyone who's never seen an eastern sword in person and has only heard about them through rumors and secondhand accounts would be able to tell that your buddy's talwar wasn't the real deal.

Honestly, I’d imagine no matter who you were, even if you traveled to a time you were an expert in, I’m sure there would be many surprises. Piecing together what day to day life at that time was actually like has got to be close to impossible. It is a cool idea though, not something I’d want to actually try doing

Just thinking about how much you could reasonably carry if you were going back with medical supplies, modern firearms and ammo, armor, pommels food, water, and various other materials and tools for trading. You'd basically want to bring a cart and draft animals, but then you need to bring food for them too.

Plus your food and water could spoil over time (unless you brought canned food or MREs), anything needing electricity will die and never be able to be recharged, and your equipment will get damaged or less effective since it couldn't receive repairs or proper maintenance. Also, if you want to actually bring useful future knowledge, you had better brought some books, unless you memorized by heart tons of information. For instance, if you wanted to revolutionize metallurgy, you'd probably want to have the blueprint for the Bessemer converter, as well as what is and where to find spiegeleisen. If you wanted to revolutionize agriculture, you'd want to have some books to consult on just how much nitrogen each plant will take and give, as well as their properties of soil fixation, etc.

Best bet is to become incredibly educated on useful skills and knowlege that could be reasonably applied to the time. Learn basic physics and chemistry, learn how to make basic antibiotics, learn basic metalurgy, learn a reasonable ammount of medical practice and first aid, learn latin, ect. This kind of stuff is quite easy to learn with acess to the internet and would assist you greatly. You take this knowlege back with you and a small group and integrate into society. Carve your group a place and over time gain prominence by making better steel, or solving simple problems in a believeable way.

i think the old west would be a bit easier and just better than the middle ages 1: You don't have to learn a new language 2: You can bring more reliable firearms than what they had at the time and still find ammo. For example some modern Smith & Wesson revolvers take .45 colt rounds, of which they had in the old west. 3: better living conditions (arguably) 4: Getting money would be easier 5 You easily could dress less conspicuous 6: Bulletproof vests would work It may not be quite as exciting but it would be more practical
