Space aliens destroy humanity in 2060. Mankind's only hope, a time machine built by a mad scientist. The plan: to send people back in time to any point in history one time. They can take with them whatever they can carry and once the jump is made the aliens destroy the time machine. The goal, jumpstart the industrial revolution early in order to have the time to defend Earth from the invasion.What four people do you choose? Where do you send them? What do you want them to bring?
Doesn't matter, because you aren't saving your own timeline. You'll just send a guy back in time and then get destroyed by space aliens, while the guy you sent back saves an entirely separate timeline from space aliens.

Selection criteria: >pass genetic screening for recessive disorders. >Highly fertile.>Low neuroticism. >110+ IQ>at least one fluent in English language>Male needs to be physically competent in survival scenarioTime/place:>Early Carboniferous period. >Probably somewhere near modern day Mississippi but would need to check with geologist/paleontologists. What to bring:>Sack of potatoes>Millet seeds>Gravity generator>Tablet or similar, needs to contain modern Wikipedia in offline format (I vaguely remember an application like this already exists), media optional but recommended. >necessary peripherals (external hard drive for educational media, chargers, cables, etc.)>Cutting tools>magnesium rod for starting fires>Lighter to make transition easier>set of clothes>Maybe cotton seeds?>As many chickens as they can get carry from thereA lot of this stuff isn't strictly necessary. It can mostly be summarized as "basic survival and agriculture necessities + education and comfort materials." Some can be removed if they can't carry them.The plan:>be fruitful and multiplyWe'll have a 350 million year head start on civilization. As long as these people don't die, we'll be colonizing the stars before even being a blip on those dirty xenos' radar.
>>16979626Btw, by "gravity generator" I'm talking about those things that generate electricity by humans lifting weights that are slowly lowered by the device. Just to charge the tablet or whatever.
