Time Spiral, 2024-07-01
What’s happened since the universe started? The time spiral shown here features a few notable highlights. At the spiral’s center is the Big Bang, the place where time, as we know it, began about 13.8 billion years ago. Within a few billion years atoms formed, then stars formed from atoms, galaxies formed from stars and gas, our Sun formed, soon followed by our Earth, about 4.6 billion years ago. Life on Earth begins about 3.8 billion years ago, followed by cells, then photosynthesis within a billion years. About 1.7 billion years ago, multicellular life on Earth began to flourish. Fish began to swim about 500 million years ago, and mammals because walking on land about 200 million years ago. Humans first appeared only about 6 million years ago, and made the first cities only about 10,000 years ago. The time spiral illustrated stops there, but human spaceflight might be added, which started only 75 years ago, and useful artificial intelligence began to take hold within only the past few years.

If you are a science nerd like me and you like binging on space documentaries until 2 am, then I definitely recommend checking out documentaries about space narrated by Professor Brian Cox! I'm incredibly bad at physics, but he explains things in a way that it's not that difficult to understand, if that makes sense? Lol I highly recommend them! I actually wanted to go to one of his lectures, but sadly I was abroad at the time so couldn't go..
Hi Neil!
I'll be in NYC next week with some free evenings. Do you have any bookstore recommendations?
Thanks for all that you do!
The Strand Bookstore is unique, and has improved in recent decades by being a regular bookshop AND an enormous second hand bookshop. The Mysterious Bookshop is a delight if you like mysteries.
awesome
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
EVI CAUGHT ON FIRE LMAOOOOOOOO
i love fur, i love leather, i love wool, i love long lasting materials without plastic in them that will decompose and go back into the ecosystem after serving me well for several decades.
Everybody wish my cats a happy 15th birthday! They've been with me through some of the worst and hardest and lowest points of my life, and I hope they'll continue to be happy and healthy for more years to come! Everybody please wish my kitties a happy birthday!
You all know that one part in Well of Ascension where "Oreseur" jokes about eating Hammond like "One is, after all named "Ham"..."
Well that joke doesn't quite work when the book is translated to languages where ham doesn't have any food related meanings. So in the finnish translation the line goes like "I think he'd make a good ham-burger" which I honestly think is way funnier. Seriously hamburger? Are there even hamburgers in universe? Well it's not like impossible but honestly I can't picture it.
