If you were transported to ancient Greece, how much of modern science do you think you could teach Aristotle? Assume you can speak ancient Greek.
I think it would be tricker than you'd think. Trying to convey 2000 years of progress to someone who doesn't even use arabic numerals and has a limited conception of algebra in a way that would actually convince him would be difficult.
