Talk:Naught Earth

Great Concept
Hi Mr. Sheen, your althistory looks like a good one. I am not sure why you call it "Naught Earth," but the concept of a world in which East does not meet West is intriguing. If you get time, it would be great to see a basic map of what the world of "today" (2762 AUC?).

The premise that "everything except" Rome and China stayed the same is a little confusing. We have to assume that inventions were persued in different contexts, for instance. China, with its early development of gunpowder, kites, and movable type, might have persued their use to great advantage unhindered by European interference.

In Europe, though, without the rise of the Enlightenment (for nothing was ever lost in the fall of Rome), the same technologies may never have arisen. However, the science of ancient Rome (borrowed from Greece and Egypt), may have developed into something of what we have today in "the West."

Can we assume, then, that Roman and Muslim scientists would have persued knowledge of the universe on schedule at the same time that China advances with their old discoveries as well? SouthWriter 20:39, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
