That's similar to the fact of Columbus discovering America, which has been named as such after the auther, who's published an article about the discovery:
his name was Amerigo Vispuci!!! |

I don't remember my history that well but I thought he was Columbus' mapmaker and put his own name on the map of the new world. |

Hell, and here I thought that 'America' was already discovered.

I don't remember my history that well but I thought he was Columbus' mapmaker and put his own name on the map of the new world. Certainly, darling, I would not argue about the validity of my statement -- after all, that's my recallection from high school's grade 6. However, I made a quick look up -- judge for yourself (the link below). However, the point I was trying to make is that the authenticity of the discovery doesn't always belong to the discoverer, but to the one who brings the public's attention to that discovery...

That's a Strange Paradox of our Times -- Future rewrites the Past (especially the pre-Industrial one):
... as we rediscover new/forgotten facts about the Past, our history undergoes subtle changes. Quite possible the 3rd millenium history books would barely rezemble those of today!!! |

Oddly, in a thread about what man can and cannot do, rewriting history plays a part. Not only was the airplane invented in Luckenback, Tx, the Japanese recently (some years ago) started a campaign to rewrite their history books painting a much nicer view of Japan's role in World War II.
The old adage "History belongs to the victors." does not always apply. In the question of what is humanly possible and what is not. Some things we may not think are impossible may have been done many, many years but we are unaware of the history and the knowledge was lost. The hamburger was invented in Texas! |

When Humanity will learn Time travel, that's when we will discover the truth about everything, and altering the past in order of avoiding the pitfalls of the history... (and the origine of the hunburger and pizza... lol)
When I was young, I read a sci-fi book called << The End of "Eternity">>. about a crash of an organization which has been altering time... Some day, that would be an ordinary science -- without fiction! |

The United States By coincidence, a few miles from Luckenbach was the World War II navel museum named for Chester Nimitz; one of the best museums in the world. It was just expanded and renamed the George Bush Navel Museum. It doesn't seem fair to Admiral Nimitz
