HOW THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD HAVE CHANGED WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY
 SOMETHING WHICH REALLY COULD NOT BE KEPT SECRET
There would be a Herd of Butterfly Effect happening ( Actually more like a Million Stomping Tyrannosaurs )
-
"Columbia's Existence Was Simply Enough To Change The Rest Of The World." - Albert Einstein
--- --- --- --- ---
SUCH THINGS COULD NOT BE KEPT SECRET :
Spies - Government Construction and on exhibit at the 1893 Exposition itself ...
"A Proper Espionage Circus" - Reilly
Government (taxpayer's money) built Columbia - not really something to be kept secret ( It is NOT something that is kept in some hidden laboratory )
Columbia was a HUGE Project with THOUSANDS of Workers Being Involved.
Industrialists and Foreign Powers would be very interested and WOULD be involved.
100 times the Brain Power and 1000 X the money ( and that includes Engineers who are the real ones required to do more than simple party tricks ) - Who WILL find their OWN results Indepenadently - when given mere clues.
Floatyshit(tm) for All ( eventually being the most basic utilitarian tech result )
A French Hotel at Saturn ( within just a few years - if you effectively have anti-gravity then one of the largest technical issues of Space Flight is solved. )
The Real World would have 'Zoomed Past' Columbia - like a SSTSuper Sonic Transport ( the British-French "Concorde" passenger air service ) next to a Snail
Columbia relegated to being a Backward Anachronism - a Joke - a Floating Insane Asylum
A new Weapon Race : Floating Battleships
'Tesla Ascendant' ( He would be involved )
The Flying Model T, and Personal Wings
German Death Rays ...
SPACE 1893 Space 1889 - a RPG Game 
Edison Floating Lights orbiting the World
Teddy Roosevelt, in his 'Quantum Ironman Suit', Kicks Columbia's Ass by Himself.
The Luteces left the Equation when Comstock Had the Killed (1909)

(( This all would make a great Steampunk World setting, wouldn't it ????? ))
