... medical science, natural science, landed on the moon and thus made the first twitches that precede the first attempt of making the first steps to become a spacefaring race. (Of course I don't know if this is even possible.)
Modern music would also not be possible, which would be a pity. There is probably more, but the question remains: Is it worth it? Is it worth relinquishing the chance of happiness for all? tbc
