Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'relativity'

The scientific theory developed by Albert Einstein that revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity in the early 20th century. Relativity consists of special relativity (1905), which established that space and time are interwoven dimensions, and general relativity (1915), which redefined gravity as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. In alternate history scenarios, different timelines of its discovery or applications could dramatically alter technological development, warfare capabilities, and humanity's relationship with the cosmos.

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 Faster-Than-Light Travel Was Achieved?

Exploring the alternate timeline where humanity overcame the light-speed barrier, revolutionizing space exploration, interstellar colonization, and fundamentally altering humanity's relationship with the cosmos.
