    All you have to do is teaching intelligent people some math and tell them about experiments and that nature can be understood. The rest will follow.

    Everything can be accelerated by adding the idea of the printing press.

    First of all, no one would understand you, but how someone already pointed out, make a spool with copper and spin it. For bonus points, put a iron slab inside the spool

    Edit: as someone pointed out you kinda need a magnet

      eh language barriers are generally overstated i think, people with completely unrelated languages develop pidgins within the decade, and if you’re dropped into a place where they speak some complete gibberish like french you’ll still just naturally figure it out given a year or so of being forced to endure it.

          maybe, but frankly i think it’s at least equally likely that they just see you as a blessing from the heavens and frankly get a little too enthusiastic about your knowledge.
