Microscopes would allow them figure things out on their own. Probably for the best.

Think of the poor comely wenches, having coins thrown at them on stage. That would be painful.

IDK, you might be surprised at what knowledge was available in the middle ages.   They -had- a great deal, in truth...they just didn't deploy it (for a variety of reasons). Agriculture, though, exploded in the middle ages. They deployed that left right and center. You might find that you could hand the bumpkins an airplane and they'd just shrug.

You'd get alot of mileage out of a 20$ if you brought in a bucket of pennies though Thena.....make it rain.

LOL, Min, you know they'd just print a bunch of fucking bibles with it......like last time.

Germ theory: that would include the value of washing food, and washing hands before preparing food, covering sneezes, getting the latrines out of the water supply, washing hands and sanitizing instruments before surgery or assisting at childbirth, burying the dead outside the water supply, etc.

Food preservation was another problem. Canning would be a good addition.

Silly, I know but the screw can late. The expression dead as and door nail comes from killing "deading" nails, that is nailing them flat across the wood where they pop out on the other side of the boards. Without deading door nails would work their way loose.

The knowledge that lead is poisonous.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
