Scenarios about 'archimedes'
The ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, and inventor who lived in Syracuse from approximately 287 to 212 BCE. Archimedes made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, physics, and engineering, including the principle of buoyancy, advanced understanding of levers, and innovative defensive war machines. In alternate history scenarios, his survival or wider preservation of his works often leads to technological advancement timelines where ancient civilizations develop industrial or mechanical capabilities centuries earlier than in our timeline.
What If Archimedes' War Machines Were Mass-Produced?
Exploring how ancient warfare and technological development might have unfolded if Archimedes' innovative war machines had been systematically reproduced and deployed throughout the ancient Mediterranean world.
What If Archimedes Lived to Old Age?
Exploring how scientific and technological development might have accelerated if Archimedes had avoided his untimely death during the Siege of Syracuse and continued his groundbreaking work for decades.
