Timeshadow 03

I am looking forward to reading how the various timelines mesh - if indeed they do

If you simultaneously change the course of history
with Galileo
The Alamo
And Pearl Harbor
As life continuous in 2035

which change will cause history to be modified the most? will the first mean the second didn't even happen? did Alamo II result in so many changes Pearl Harbor didn't happen? or did PH II make so many modifications in the timeline that 2035 was no longer a threat to humanity?

or do all these timelines continue on simultaneously? all running their new course as altered by the blue bubble teams?

or

oh well, another great chapter, pointing off in so many directions, all known only by our intrepid author.

wow

Is all I can say. This story is excellent and I am eagerly waiting for the next chapter!!

Cool!

An outstanding idea and story. Your mind is amazing in thinking this up. Can't wait to read the rest of this.

Great!!

Thanks for the great read.

Maybe these changes will be like a rock thrown into a still pond. When the ripples die down nothing has changed, except there is another rock on the bottom. Perhaps time is self healing, outcomes cannot be changes except by cataclysmic events, which these are not. Preventing WWII would save millions of lives, but mankind replaced them in little more than a generation.

Just a thought.

And this is why AL is one of the best on this site.

" Lights all over the city came on... People ran into their yards, into the streets and looked up into the night sky as four howling demons shot up through a line of clouds, lighting them up from the inside – turning clouds to yellow motes in Satan's eye, and the world huddled in fear as the horsemen turned north and disappeared into the darkness."

I really don't think I need to say more. 5*

Interesting Potential

There are a couple theories on time travel and changing events historically, the grandfather paradox, pre-destination paradox, and the self consistency principle are just a couple. There is also the theory that you have created an alternate timeline and you will exist there even if you have created events that could impact or end the timeline you came from.

Interesting temporal concepts and second order causality, the curious question will simply be conjecture about how these events will impact the world. The Alamo caused the United States to intervene, unofficially, in the conflict and sped up the question of Texas' inclusion into the Union. Santa Anna's defeat and the Mexican-American war allowed the annexation of Territory for Manifest Destiny.

Pearl Harbor United the American people and quickly caused the Nazi Regime to Declare War on the US a short time later. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were direct results of the Pacific War and the destruction of most of Japan's industries caused a reconstruction period that allowed rapid economic expansion for the Japanese. It also caused the Cold War with Russia and Nuclear Weapon technology made things worse.

I'm curious to see how things proceed, you had a few minor historical errors but so far you are doing really well. Thank you.

Sorry.

I went to give it five stars but finger trouble gave only four. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Another fine chapter

We may find ourselves with four alternate timelines here. I like that poor Davy Crockett got some tail afterall......

Brilliant Tale

Loving the premise and flow of this one.
Small niggle, your use of 'ballistic' is vastly different to the usual definition of the word.
