| Jul 21, 2016 at 5:51 | comment | added | King of Snakes | @DonaldHobson : I have already mentioned that the magic that brought me into the past is protecting me from diseases, no need for vaccines (unless you want me to use that as my invention). Bringing a rare substance is useless if 1) They don't know its rare 2) Can't use it properly | |

| Jul 20, 2016 at 12:24 | comment | added | user | @Chinu It wouldn't be that easy. See for example What could an average modern human achieve in medieval times? and follow the many links to other questions both in questions, answers, comments and sidebar. | |
| Jul 20, 2016 at 12:14 | comment | added | Chinu | I believe it cannot be done, even with amazing technical know hows, 50-100 years is far too less to revolutionize ideas (needs lots of propaganda warfare), at best you can survive and live a luxurious life by selling technology. But I am hoping for a detailed answer of yes. | |
