Book Chapter
A Little Big History of Big History
2014
Overview
Only human beings can tell stories. No other animals can, so far as we know. It took a universe to produce story-telling human beings. So, to tell the story of how people began to tell the Big History story, we need to go all the way back to how the universe began.
In the beginning, some 13.8 billion years ago, out of a mysterious something or nothing that we know nothing about, all the energy and matter in our entire universe burst forth from one tiny spot. Temperatures were so high that matter could not form; there was only energy.
