How would the world be if prince siddhartha was never born?

Answer:

He was born, so the question serves no purpose. On this specific topic (speculation) Buddhism purposefully avoids it and issues of philosophy. On such questions, Buddha maintained a silence, indicating "opinions tend not to edification".
