What are the chances of gunpowder being discovered?
Most TLs seem to have it pop up more or less at the same time as OTL, without explanation, but honestly, what are the chances of it happening? I mean, from my understanding, it was a complete accident!
So, with a POD pre-discovery, Where? When? Who? What? How? should gunpowder be discovered?
