TBF in the Star Trek universe they also do get transparent aluminum earlier than stopping the wars.

According to Star Trek lore, WW3 will begin in 3 years, and last for 27 years.

Buckle up.

Don't worry! WW3 will be preceeded by the Bell Riots, a collection of revolts by people treated inhumanely and stuck in slums. It will be a fun little distraction before the fireworks. It's even got it's own count down now!

I want science fiction to remain fiction.

Edit: Aside from the cool stuff, that's fine, I'll have some of that.

Well you're getting transparent aluminium, what are you complaining about?!

And if I’m being honest if the end game is Star Trek I’m fine with the stuff in between. It beats the end game being Warhammer 40k.

Warhammer is for the tabletop. Anything more is a living nightmare.

Warhammer 40k has its peak Utopian period, after which machines like Data nearly destroy humanity and…

Well it’s a lot to write out.

In short we could still be on the 40k timeline.

Agreed. Though it has crossed my mind that the in universe explanation for why the Federation is so enlightened and willing to care for all of its citizens because of the horrors Earth went through.

But yeah, definitely would like to avoid WW3/the Bell Riots.
