Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'nuclear physics'

The scientific field studying the structure, properties, and interactions of atomic nuclei and their constituent particles. Nuclear physics revolutionized the 20th century through applications including nuclear weapons, power generation, medical diagnostics, and radiometric dating techniques. In alternate history scenarios, divergent developments in nuclear physics often create timelines with dramatically different technological capabilities, geopolitical balances, and energy economies.
