| R.I.P. David Bowie (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016)You are among the most creative, beautiful, and positively impactful human beings who ever lived! |
Edit: Before anyone gets their hopes up, please note that this article has absolutely nothing to do with David Bowie, except ever so subtly, at the very end. I just couldn't let his death go unacknowledged.
The brainchild of David Christian at Macquarie University in
Sydney, Australia, Big History
is all about connecting knowledge—which is right up my alley, with my whole
connectivity thing.
Big History is the story of everything. It’s a way of
looking at how reality as we know it developed from the beginning of time,
itself, that joins the theoretically modeled mechanical explanations used in
the physical sciences with the empirically based social science of history.
It’s a cosmological mapping of one historical continuum—an all-encompassing
origin story for the 21st century. It’s the unifying force of a single
narrative that says, “We are the universe looking back on itself.”
