It's disheartening to see ideas shot down by such logically thought out arguments.
Is it at all possible to establish or modify the church such that it doesn't take such powerful interests in day to day politics and stays much more in the spiritual sphere?
Had a thought and wondered how it would effect the development of Christianity.
Hypatia being murdered by a Christian mob in Alexandria is seen as a result of the feud between the Bishop Cyril and the Governor Orestes. The Bishop was seen by the Governor as over stepping his bounds and...
Been reading about the Peasant's Revolt and its effect upon the Lollard movement.
What would it have taken for the 12 Conclusions given to Parliament and nailed to St. Paul's Cross (a la 95 Theses) to be acted upon? A bankrupt government, broke from fighting in France?
What would be the...
There goes that whole idea.
My original thought was that everything was put back 10 years, and how much would that have affected the first half of the 20th century. Like as was mentioned steam powered tanks. And would that have affected powered flight before WWI? Would it be sufficiently...
What would be the out come of early 20th century development if i.c. engines were delayed 10 years?
Would powered flight still happen in 1904, or would it be delayed several years?
Would tanks make an appearance on the Western Front?
Would we see more interest in steam and electric...
It's making the oil companies a hell of a lot of money. And that money is all leaving Canada, making the US richer.
Also, the governments aren't taxing the resource, instead they're giving the oil companies billions. Less money for Canadians, more for the rich bastards on Wall St.
Interesting.
About radio signals, etc.
The Germans never believed that the British had cracked their code until after WW2, they happily continued using wireless to signal each other. They believed that the reason the British sortied for Jutland was a spy in the harbour.
Ammunition...
What if the British keep the Philippines, and do not trade them for Minorca at the Treaty of Paris?
Or Britain is more successful in the Seven Years War against Spain and keeps both territories?
What would be the effects on the American Revolution? Would the increased revenue from the new...
As part of the mobilisation in Canada, work on the Intercolonial Railway should begin. Large numbers of navvies could be brought over with supplies from Britain, at the same time as troops.
Enough material could be stockpiled at St. John over the winter to really quickly lay out a rough...
What would the north of England be like if William never destroyed the north in the winter of 1069-70.
It was estimated that 150,000 plus people were killed, and a majority of villages were laid waste. Food stocks and live stocks were destroyed, land was salted.
Have the Avro Canada designs from the laste 1950's be built. 15-20 years of SST travel before the oil crisis.
I'd imagine by that time, SST travel would be ingrained in the industry.
Also, Avro Canada had designs for planes that could cruise at Mach 1.2 without creating a sonic boom...
