If you were transported 400 years into the past with no clothes or anything else, how would you prove that you were from the future?

@SW-User [quote]"invent" calculus before Newton, muahahaha[/quote]

Who would understand it? and was Newton a time traveler?

@Northwest Well this would be the early 1600s, so it would actually be around the right time, around the time of Galileo.

@SW-User Yes, you're within a couple of decades of the right time, but my point is, how does that prove you're from the future? You would be about 50 or so years, ahead of Newton, and you would be marked as the "inventor" of Calculus.

@Northwest hey no need to question others answers.. let's just have some fun here..

@skymint I am

@Northwest good point. Still, science seems like the safest place to start trying to convince people, and early scientists would be in a better position to understand than anyone else at the time. Don't want to be burned as a witch.

@SW-User That's the problem. Anything you do, 400 years ago, will not set you apart from anyone else. Someone said they would build a computer, but where would you go for parts?

I can propose the Physics model, but how would I prove it, 400 years ago? I can "invent" a lot of things, but, I would be no different from any other inventor at the time.

It's a question asked often, but no one has come up with a solid answer, but it's fun trying.
