| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

So? Honor Harrington's a big damned Mary Sue and she's still the best character in fiction in my opinion.* * Obviously when you make statements like that you have to qualify them as your opinion, as people are too dull to tell and think you might be stating an actually fact؟ |

I've been making an alternate history based around the British persuading the Germans not to invade Belgium for a year. Any hints or suggestions? |

Well the Germans never wanted anything to do with Belgium really, it was the "back door" to France, they hoped to go around the French massing at the border and drive on straight to Paris and get the whole nasty business done by Christmas. The invasion of Belgium was a surprises attack to get the war over quickly. After it became an extended affair, invading Belgium would only be bad for Germany. They would loose a valuable neutral nation to trade with (Which is why they never invaded the Netherlands), they would bring the British into it, negating the Kaiserliche Marine's naval superiority. Not to mention that Portugal and Japan would also join the fray, and both would love to get their hands on Germany's colonial possessions, or the Great Britain was Germany's biggest trade partner at the time. |

I have a morbid curiosity with what would happen if there was no WW2 and Hitler had stopped at Czechoslovakia... I mean imagine a three way cold war between Nazi Germany, Soviets, and USA and Britain |

Better yet, what if there was no WW1, which had contributed to WW2? What if Gavrilo Princip had missed? |

They have a story for that. It's called Ready for the Fatherland. http://turtledove.wikia.com/wiki/Ready_for_the_Fatherland |

The generals at the time consistently attempted to put hings off, and one of them was relieved if i remember correctly. It was expected, but it doesn't seem Georges could have prepared well enough to counter the mechanised columns. it would've been easier if he had put up a barricade behind the Ardennes though. My thoughts are that a counter-attack by the better prepared allies craetes a three-month stalemate at the Meuse. In that time, the Germans do better in the Eastern front because they send a second invasion force by ship to the other side of Russia, with a Japanese force. Plausible? |

The Japanese going against the British in 1914? Unlikely. Even if they wanted to help Germany they were treaty bound to fight against them. Article 3 of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance states: Promise of support if either signatory becomes involved in war with more than one Power. Germany and Austria-Hungary are both powers. |

I find the idea of a united Latin America becoming a modern super power interesting as well

I like the idea of the Mexican and Brazilian Empire surviving to become great powers.

If I were a big shot movie producer, I'd get the rights to Stephen King's zombie book "Cell" and get Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, Piranha 3D) to write and direct. He's the best horror filmmaker working today. |

Hm. Personally, were I to do that, I'd get Stephen King himself to write the script, and the man behind "The Road" to direct. EDIT: The problem with Stephen King's movies is that, shockingly, they overplay the horror aspect. To me, they've always been a little less about the horror, but still horrific. For example, "Cell" didn't strike me as another zombie-fest; rather, it was a journey through an empty world, that just so happened to be populated by zombie-like madmen. "The Road" definitely caught that sense of emptiness, of space, and I'd want that to be expressed in "Cell". Edited by Practically Uninformed, Oct 30 2010, 09:11 PM.
