Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Albert Einstein'

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who revolutionized modern physics with his theory of relativity and contributions to quantum mechanics in the early 20th century. His work fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, gravity, and energy, with his equation E=mc² becoming emblematic of scientific genius. In alternate history scenarios, Einstein's life, scientific discoveries, or political influence (including his pacifism and later advocacy for nuclear caution) are often reimagined with profound effects on technological development and world events.

What If Einstein Never Developed Relativity?

Exploring the alternate timeline where Albert Einstein never formulated his theories of special and general relativity, potentially delaying mankind's understanding of spacetime and fundamentally altering the course of 20th-century physics and technology.

What If Nuclear Weapons Were Never Developed?

Exploring the alternate timeline where nuclear weapons were never invented, altering the course of World War II, the Cold War, and international relations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

What If Quantum Mechanics Was Never Discovered?

Exploring the alternate timeline where the revolutionary theories of quantum physics never emerged, dramatically altering the course of 20th and 21st century science, technology, and society.

What If The Atomic Age Never Dawned?

Exploring the alternate timeline where nuclear fission was never discovered or successfully harnessed, dramatically altering the course of 20th century warfare, energy production, and global politics.

What If The Atomic Bomb Was Never Invented?

Exploring the alternate timeline where nuclear weapons were never developed, fundamentally altering the end of World War II, the Cold War era, and global geopolitics into the 21st century.

What If The Manhattan Project Failed?

Exploring the alternate timeline where the United States failed to develop atomic weapons during World War II, fundamentally altering the end of the war and the global power dynamics of the 20th century.
