Quantum physics Multiple Universes...no LOTR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Quantum Physics has a theory that states for every decision made a new unverse is created for every possible conciquence(sp?) so what if during WWI our good Proffesor died...sad thought really.... What would you do having never heard of LOTR how would your life have been changed. I know that I would have failed English First quarter because beowulf interested me only because of LOTR refrences to it and Italian and chemistry I did projects about LOTR and I know I wouldnt have found something quite as good as it I may have latched onto HP buyt how would the lack of LOTR affect the writing of this tale would it have been as good as well?

I would likely be a silly female who cares only about clothes, makeup, and hot guys...

Hmm...well, for one, my typing wouldn't be as fast. For that matter, my writing wouldn't be as good. I'd read a lot of books. I'd play a lot more video games, and have a less rotted mind

I do suppose I only asked for personal effects...butr what about the greater picture

the millions of fans the writers inspired by it the writers that make refrences to it...I ask you how much of our world formed from tolkein's work what would be the butterfly effect of it all? (Im refering to an older story(which i cant remember right now) by the way not the movie hated the movie Ashton cant act but anyway)

would D&D be so popular would RPGs be as fun would literature be what it is would movies be the same heck would our language be the same?
