I’ve always been fascinated by time travel stories which often deal with the possibility of alternative histories.  In the typical story line, a time traveler journeys back in the past and accidently changes the course of history.  The potential outcomes are fascinating.  What if the South prevailed during the Civil War?  What if the Germans in WWII had successfully completed their nuclear research and produced the first atomic bomb?  What if Monica Lewinsky passed up that opportunity to work as an intern in the Clinton administration?  I would surmise that Al Gore would have been elected President in 2000 and a gentlemen named Barack Obama would be a fairly obscure junior Senator from Chicago.  And so on.
