Differences from Earth Prime

The divergence point of this world happened at an indiscernible time in the past and deeply affected the way society views intelligence and scientists. Men and women of the mind are respected like heroes and scientists like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking aren't just well known, they're part of major advertising campaigns including slogans like "Einstein wore Khakis" and Nikke shoe's "Just think it". Little boys dream of one day being in the academic decathlon , the San Francisco Central Library is extending its hours by popular demand, and musical groups like MC Poindexter and the Study Crew release raps about going to the library. The world's most popular pastime is a sport called Mindgame which combines the square grid of "Othello" with scientific questions to score points. The game has made world famous celebrities out of scientists like Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, and California University's Quinn Mallory.
