Textbook in PDF format This book follows the continuum of historical change of all the “stuff” in the cosmos, from the Big Bang to the evolution of life to human history, as simple clumps of hydrogen gas are transformed into complex human societies. History allows us to live many lives instead of just one, and this particular story instills in us the combined experience of billions of years. Much confusion over human identity, our philosophies, and our future could be resolved if only the average person knew the key beats of the “story of everything” at least as well as they knew the key moments of their national histories. Zooming out to take a bird’s eye view of 13.8 billion years allows us to see beyond the chaos of human affairs to the overall shape and trajectory of history. The thread that runs through the entire grand narrative is the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life to humans and the things we have made. It allows us to traverse eons without drowning in detail—because the amount of detail an answer requires depends on the nature of the question. In this book, we ask simply: Where did we come from and where are we going? Regarding the future, I am speaking in terms of the next hundred years, the next thousand, the next million, the next billion and even the next trillion, to quadrillion, to the potential end of the Universe. The Shortest History of Our Universe explores all that too. A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events. “Baker introduces us not only to the history of our species and our planet, but the history of our vast universe.” In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span — from the Big Bang to the present day — in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the “rise of complexity” in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. Weaving together insights across the sciences — including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology — Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker’s grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet’s fate. This concise book traces the history of the universe from the Big Bang to the present day. Drawing on physics, chemistry, biology, and more, the book is entertaining and easy to read. It also looks forward to the future of humanity, from how we can affect climate change to the possibility of finding a new home elsewhere in the cosmos.
