(Some bits of earth history)





The history of the universe --our place of living-- reveals an incredible complexity and, seen from the perspective of the DNA-based life on earth, is densily packed with breathtaking dramatic processes. The following links lead to some pages, which give an overview of this history from different points of view:

  • From 0 to Now: Universe: The Universe is defined as the summation of all particles and energy that exist and the space-time in which all events occur. Based on observations of the portion of the universe that is observable, physicists attempt to describe the whole of space-time, including all matter and energy and events which occur, as a single system corresponding to a mathematical model.Here.

  • From 0 the first 3 minutes: Big Bang: In physical cosmology, the term Big Bang has two related meanings. It is a cosmological model in which the universe has been expanding for around 13.7 billion years (13.7 Ga), starting from a tremendously dense and hot state. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental 'fireball' that erupted at or close to time t=0 in the history of the universe, Here.

  • About 4.6 Bio BC: Formation of the planet earth, see: history of Earth

  • From 4.6 Bio BC until today: Geological time Scale, Here.

    • 4.600 MA BC - 2007 AD: Evlution of Life Here. This timeline of the evolution of life outlines the major events in the development of life on the planet Earth.

Some special dates from the recent history of evolution:

  • 7000 – 3000 BC: The origins of Hinduism

  • about 1400 BC: Origins of Jewish Religion

  • about 550 BC: Origins of Buddhism and Confucianism

  • about 0 - 50 AD: Origin of Christian Religion

  • about 650 AD: Origin of Islam

  • 18th Century AD: Fundamentals of Western Democratic Societies

  • 19th Century AD: Fundamentals of modern sciences (Logic, Mathematics, Physiology, Psychology, and others)

  • Future: A Planet with open science in open societies for a planet in freedom and in honor for each other?
