In another dimension a singularity forms, the seed of a new Universe...

A burst of energy converting to matter, expanding outward, ever outward- the Big Bang. Space and time fill the extra dimensional void.

Galaxies evolve, moving outward from the Big Bang.

Our solar system forms around our own star- the sun- in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Earth has formed, has a primitive atmosphere, land, and lots of water!

The Precambrian
Life begins on Earth, probably in water, starting with amino acids, then on to proteins. Beginning more than 3.1 billion years ago blue-green algae evolves and thrives. For about two billion years the only living things were various forms of bacteria and blue-green algae (a form of bacteria called cyanobacteria).

Our Earth's oxygen atmosphere was developed by plant photosynthesis as the first cells with a nucleus appear.

Multicellular life and favorable conditions create an explosion of underwater life on Earth. Bacteria, blue-green algae, fungi, worms and other invertebrates are the predominant life forms.

The first creatures with back bones, the Vertebrates, appear. Fish develop jaws and have heavy, bony armor for protection from the other ocean dwelling predators.

The first amphibians crawled ashore, evolving from coelacanth-like fish. Seed ferns and scaled trees grew on land out of marshy swamps. Winged insects buzz overhead, descended from their own aquatic ancestors.

The Age of Reptiles begins when a few amphibians evolve "watertight" skin and can live and lay eggs away from water.

Dinosaurs, a family of reptiles, ruled the world. Dinosaurs swam in the seas, thundered across the land and flying reptiles soared through the skies. Primitive, shrew-like mammals appeared in their midsts.

As dinosaurs become extinct (except for birds!), mammals flourish in a variety of forms, sizes and environments- including the early primate precursors of humankind.

Emerging from a few million years of early Hominid bands, the Age of Man begins. Eventually wood, bone, and stone tools are complimented by iron, and the domestication of plants leads to the rise of civilization along the great rivers.

Human understanding of astronomy, mathematics, architecture and the arts reaches ever increasing heights.

The great Wars, WWI, and WWII, drive technology forward and drench the human experience in blood and idealism.

Our mastery of technology helps land a man on the moon. Computers and other technological breakthroughs affect every aspect of human existence.

2000 and Beyond...

A new polarity grips humanity and distracts the world from a creative destiny.
