User blog:GunsnadGlory/Washington ate a sandwich...

This is heavily inspired by LLB's post, though I was thiking about it before.

If washington ate a sandwich the day before the battle of Saratoga, say, then immediately very little would happen.

But slowly, the butterfly effect would set in.

Famous people would never be born. Misses would be hits, the tables would turn. So isn't it possible to have a POD in which Washington ate a sandwich? Or Charles I got food poisoning after eating a lamphrey? Or King Harold ate fish the morning of the battle of Stanford bridge, and lost?

Or is it really that ALL Tls are like that? Maybe a soldier in Vietnam ate some fish one morning when OTL he ate ham.

And then, a few years later, Petrov's replacement pushed the red button in panic?

In fact, why have something like that? If you made a new universe, and placed everything exactly as it was in 1420... would you get the universe as it is in Principia Moderni? After all, the chances of the same thing happening are extremely low!
