If you could erase one event from history, what would it be?
What could I possibly choose? Like the beating of a butterfly or moths wings, what chaos would my choice cause?
We imagine that we can be all powerful, have the ability to alter history, but like the grandfather paradox (the one where someone goes back in time and accidentally kills his grandfather, so he can no longer exist), you don’t know what your action will do.
Stop the meteor that killed the dinosaurs? Lizards walk around in suits and ties. The Spanish Armada beat the English? Everyone in America is now of Spanish decent.
Steam engines are improved before automobiles, we have clean air and no climate change, but we are heading for an ice age instead.
So basically I would have to keep things as they are for fear of making things worse!
