Ah, I wondered what all these trains full of Gold were doing here in my youth...

Come on dude, I know you're from Switzerland but still They even made movies about how it could have been prevented. War games? Most of the James bond movies? You gotta watch documentaries every now and then...

Either people believe, in which case they say "I'd like to go back and hear Jesus speak" or whatever or they don't, in which case there are much better times to go to. Everyone already knows the answer to "was Jesus really the son of God?". They might not agree on it but they know what they think.

I would also like to go to some of Mohammad miracles and so on. Actually, going in the past and secretly recording famous people having sex would probably make you a god damn fortune. I'm sure people would pay a lot for Mary's sextape or "Napoleon x Marie-Louise".

Mary had a baby, babies don't just happen, there would have needed to be a penis. Likewise for the believers it was a virgin birth so why watch to see.
The religious ones just aren't big questions or controversies. It'd be a waste of time travel.

Maybe those related to Jesus are boring but some events from the Old Testament could be interesting. I mean stuff like crossing the Red Sea or siege of Jericho.

Okay, war averted. I hope y'all agree this was the best use of our single time travel trip.

So you are arguing that someone went back in time like you suggested in your initial post and that this is why nuclear war did not happen?

Go to ancient Greece / Rome and teach them basic chemistry. Boom. Also mention that sickness comes from tiny creatures, they should maybe look into that. Combine with Simberto's scientific method teachings should do the trick.

All this rewriting history has me musing on what it would be like if Africans had developed gunpowder and used it for cannons and guns before anyone else. Maybe throw in some sailing tech too. They were already among the best metallurgist in the world.

my thinking on how best to speed up development in the past tends towards trying to make the idea survivable in a community. there is some risk of you dying to imperial intrigue and whatnot if you just tried to influence a monarch. it can be a fairly isolated community with some nearby resources such as natural petroleum. your community armed with even rudimentary industrial concepts would be the model that would displace the ancients.
ancient greece looks decent as a starting place. probably try to save athens like someone suggested, then call out plato as a metaphysics obsessed noob and talk with aristotle about making science better.
the delphic oracles, definitely need some exploring.

Is there a good programme that checks all your drivers and update them?

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Every few months run apt-get dist-upgrade as well.
