Point of divergence

In alternate history fiction, a point of divergence is the moment when an alternate world's history diverges from our own, creating the alternate history. It is sometimes referred to as a nexus point or change-point. In science fiction, especially in time travel fiction, it is sometimes referred to as a Jonbar hinge or Jonbar point.
