A red button appears in front of you

r/

The rules are simple:
If you press the button, Hitler and his ideological beliefs never existed.
What also happens is that Isaac Newton and Cai Lun (Inventor of paper) also get evaporated.
Would you press it?

    All I read was “red button” and decided to press it

    Gravity would still exist, it might take a bit longer for the formulas and consequential scientific endeavours to kick off, but ultimately yeah.

    Even if Cai lun didn’t invent paper, we’d still have papyrus, which could have still evolved to something similar / better.

    However, if Hitler and his ideologies never came to be, a lot of scientific breakthroughs might not have occurred (or at least at their intended time) and we might be decades behind where we are today.

    Nope. Who knows how big the ripple effects are. For all I know, changing either of those things may result on me never being born

    I think that technology would be at the level of our 40s or 50s.
