Do I have to teach you everything?

 

[V800]

I will take a defibrillator with me and bring back to life people with the might of my thunder pads.

 

[pinbi7]

does anyone want to bring a modern physics book to Einstein?

1888, The year before Hitler was born, I'd take a gun and shoot both his parents. WW2 would have been prevented and millions of people would not have needlessly died. You're welcome!

I had a similar thought but the target was Fauci's parents.

The thing is the time/space paradox would prevent you from doing this. let me expand:

If you go back in time and do something which changes history you most likely would change the events which led up to your eventual birth or present life, and therefore would be unable to go back in time, it would only be conceivable go forward in time and even then you would need to have a vast star map and know the exact position of the eaths orbit around the sun and it's exact location in the universe, being as we are spinning around the milky way and the sun and even the milky way is moving through the universe at a great speed - so you might end up going forward in time, but lost in space.....or dropped from a great height or inside the earths mantle. You would need to master space and time and not to alter any events which would change an outcome or you might just cease to exists altogether. Still I agree Fauci is a large threat to humanity and has most likely been responsible for the deaths and poor life quality of millions of people, hopefully hell exists and he will end up there.

Na man, Marvel already showed us how to deal with time travel

Have you ever thought that sleeping is pretty much time traveling to the future?
You regain consciousness X hours later, with no knowledge of what happened in that time span.

You could just somehow cryosleep yourself and guarantee at most "n" years into the future, programmed in the machine.

You still age when you are sleeping - try sleeping for 100 years and see if you ever wake up - nope. Also your brain is in a dream state and your body is repairing itself during sleep - so it's not like it's "put on hold" and your heart/lungs/brain etc have stopped working. If that's your answer to time travel, well...........WTF!

 

[JuanMena]

Interesting answers.

Bring a smartphone to ancient time lol.

You'd be knackered when the battery ran out - you'd also need to bring some solar panels and make sure you went to a sunny country so you could recharge it.

Since the present we are talking about has time machines, I would bring a time machine back with me

People would go crazy about the phone, since people have no idea what it is, imaging the ringtone goes off.

You wouldn't be able to phone anyone on it, and nobody would be able to phone you - there would be no signal, mobile phone masts. You'd just have a fancy camera and media player.

The calculator function alone would probably make you a very wealthy man

You would basically be the best accountant and money lender

They knew how to count back in the day - the maths involved to build a pyramid are not insignificant. Have you ever seen some of the massive Roman/greek colums that are carved, and the maths involved that are need to make them, move them and put them in place. People have no idea how intelligent our ancestors were, but one thing is for sure, people today probably are less intelligent than they were.

Also, most likely someone bigger/stronger would just kill you and take it from you and use it until the battery ran out.

Yes it's true they could do math but it took way longer - and they were less precise as the people doing the math by hand made mistakes and there was no easy way to make sure they did it right

If you were a money lender having a calculator would go a long way - and if you went a bit further in the future you could work for architecture firms calculating angles etc
