Big History

History has always been an interesting subject ...
depending on which part of history of course!

Recently I've started 'studying' [Big History].
It is not the normal history lessons where you learn in high school but the history of the universe as well.
It expands the scales of history from the beginnings of the universe to the present and even a glimpse into the future.
Weaving together multiple disciplines from cosmology, astrology, chemistry, geology, biology, and history of humanity, it tells the story of the human beings and the universe.

Note: Some may hold a different view of the beginnings of the universe, evolution theory, etc. But I guess the main objective of this study is to appreciate the different perspectives and views on the big history...

well, thats why i said some ppl hold different views. Eventhough I don't believe I'm a descendent of an ape or a uni-cell organism but hey, its still good to know other views. Maybe I'll read Darwin's 'Origin of Species' next...
