About Big History – A Journey From The Big Bang To The Modern World And Into The Future

At 826 pages and over 470 images, this book will take the reader on a monumental journey of human knowledge and discovery. Big History is our modern scientific and historical creation story which unfolds in eight increasing thresholds of complexity. Our story begins with the creation of the Universe in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Then we proceed to the formation of the first stars and galaxies, 200 million years after the Big Bang. The third threshold is the creation of all the chemical elements in the Universe, either within the core of stars, or for those elements heavier than iron, from exploding supernovas. This diversity of chemical elements allowed for greater complexity, the formation of gas, ice, and rocky planets, including our Earth and solar system, which was formed 4.5 billion years ago. The fifth threshold examines the appearance of life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, and the incredible explosion of species on the planet through the process of natural selection and evolution. This evolution ultimately leads to the sixth threshold, humans, who first appeared in the Rift Valley of East Africa around 300,000 years ago. We then explore the history of humanity; from leaving Africa, migrating around the world as hunters and gatherers, to the advent of agriculture alongside major river systems around 12,000 years ago during the end of the last Ice Age; directly leading to the rise of great civilizations, the modern world, and our technological revolution, which we are just on the cusp of experiencing now. We examine the future of humanity, the Earth, the solar system, our Milky Way galaxy, and ultimately, the Universe. In this book, I argue that humanity is close to approaching a ninth level of increasing complexity, the singularity, when artificial intelligence will exceed human intelligence.
