It would not be a great experience. Being in the SCA so knowing a great deal about the medieval/renaissance period, I have a lot of skills relevant for the time.
That being said, clothes alone would be considered really odd, given the fashions of the time. You’d get sick from the water, not being acclimated to the local bugs and like others said, you’d likely give your bugs to the local population as well.
If in England, language would be odd but easy to adapt to as it’s not that different, compared to Middle English, which is a real challenge or Old English which is closer to German than what we speak today.
Surviving is another matter. There is a book by Tim Powers where a character is chasing another and gets back in time and had a really hard time with the locals (I think this was in Victorian times).
I definitely wouldn’t try to convince anyone that I was from the future. Maybe from faerie, which would be more believable depending on the local beliefs.
I won’t say I am from the future. Just rest assured that in this new timeline, no one would know who Isaac Newton is, because I’d be taking the credit for all his work and publishing it long before he was born.
You are in the past and they already sentenced you, aren’t they? Tell them you need to meet Descartes. Tell Descartes - Euclids 5th postulate. And he’ll be like - Yeah what about it? Curved lines. From there we discover everything 100 years earlier and by year 2025 we have WoW 2.0 and maybe GTA 6.
or you’d be considered a witch, heretic, thrown in the insane asylum or considered a threat to some monarchy, etc… and locked up, tortured, and/or killed
Find a boulder, etch the Gospel of Me in stone along with every mathematical equation rattling around in my head, then advise my future self to invest in Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and finally sign it “Rakham waz heer!”
Yeah, I would die. I am black and female that was not a good time period for me at all. I feel like all time travel questions are for a very specific demographic.
Now if I could be rich, then my odds would be pretty good. There are very very few times were it was a bad time to be wealthy.
Are we transported at our current position? I’d hate to teleport half in and out of a tree or some such. If it were my current position, I’d probably be dead from exposure in short order. If we were transported to a populated location in the colonies, I’m catching a boat to St. Kitts and looking for work. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, I ain’t trying to get burned at the stake for anything.
