What if a modern physics textbook found itself back in time

[QUOTE="Quantumfied, post: 6065519, member: 619129"] Okay guys, I’ve been wondering how different would the world be if something as simple as my calculus based physics textbook found itself back in time around 300 years ago. For the sake of the argument assume some rift opened up and swallowed my book sending it back to the year 1720. Let’s assume there is no paradox due to time travel. My textbook is approximately 1000 pages covering topics from mechanics, relativity, optics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, and circuits. Assuming the book found itself on the desk of a world class scientist of the time that didn’t conceal the knowledge from his fellow scientists, engineers, and other scholars. With that said how different would the world now be if just a single textbook that I described found it’s way in the past? [/QUOTE]
