Big History

I was intrigued by the many facts of history dated back to 14 billion years ago to now and looking in the future on the Big History Project website, https://www.bighistoryproject.com/home. Bill Gates is one the founders of this project which I am not surprised since he is brilliant, resourceful, and is dedicated to making a difference in our world. Big History is broken into 8 different groups called thresholds, 1) Big bang 2) Star formation 3) New chemical elements 4) New Earth & solar system. 5) Life on earth 6) Collective learning 7) Agriculture 8) Modern revolution. I had only heard of a couple of thresholds individually and did not realize they were all tied together in the Big History Project. It is mindblowing to see all of the correlations of all of the thresholds and how they each made an impact in this world. All of the information found on this project is very valuable. The Goldilocks Theory of, too hot, too cold, and just right is simple and genius. It would take many hours of reading and research to completely unfold the Big History Project as it begins with how stars are born and how they forged matter into the universe, how gas and rock created our planet, how life on earth has evolved & adapted, how humans are different, how farming sowed civilization and why modern revolution is happening faster and faster. This theory is not only completely logical but it is important for people to understand our history so we may live better in the present time and plan for the future as the tree of life will continue to grow in the coming ages.
