When you look at the bulk of AHs on this site, or AHs in general, they tend to be focused too much on government and the military, unfortunately, and too little on the development of science, except, perhaps, as an afterthought. WI more alternate histories had science as their central focus, rather than politics?
Perhaps I had better apply this question to my own British North America TL:
With a late 1776 POD, Karl Friedrich Gauss is born on time (30 April, 1777) and receives the same name ATL, but will he stick with math or move to linguistics?
What happens to Antoine Lavoisier, presumably, without a French Revolution? And the other French scientists? Laplace? d'Alembert? Charles? Fourier?
