The 120 minutes I stipulated was in a way drawn from a hat. However, I used this amount to make very subtle changes to several time lines. You folks also need to be keen on "what" may happen if you do distort a time line. Try to be as specific as possible.
Simply "deleting" the instance of conseption for Billy boy can have GREAT consiquence.
One should be specific as to "where" in the time line you suggest a change and "what" could be the end result. This is obviously not as easy as it sounds because of a sort of "ripple effect". So...if Billy boy were deleted, what would be the result?
Well, no Micky$oft, no Winderz and no to many things that most didn`t even consider.
As to Pearl Harbor, in what way could simply adjusting the time line change the outcome or even the progression of the time line?
Remember, we can only adjust the minutes and not a cause. Explain how a few minutes would change history.
Now heres something to consider:
1. adjust the time line associated with a volcanic eruption. A earlier eruption might have made the eruption less severe.
2. Delay the departure of the titanic by 30 minutes. This could cause a "miss" of the iceberg.
3. Delay the departure of the Hindenburg by 1 hour. This might have caused a weather change?
4.The first arial attack on Perl Harbor delayed 1 hour. More folks would be awake and get to "battle stations" faster and in greater numbers. Also the arrival of a squadron of B-19s would have been caught on the ground. Earlier time lines would reverse the above to some degree but losses would have been increased by about 20%.
....more later
