Big History

In the history of the universe, there are moments when specific ingredients under the correct conditions transform into something entirely new and more complex. What do we call these moments?

• claim testers

• Scale

• Collective learning

• Thresholds

Why are threshold of increasing complexity so important to History?

• They explain how the universe and stars formed after the Big Bang

• They showed what happened billion of years ago.

• They explain times when something entirely new appeared in the universe that impacted events that followed.

• They show how humans have evolved to complexity.

What are goldilocks conditions?

• The ability to look at things from different prespectives.

• The human ability to create complex language.

• The right conditions that combined with the right ingredients can lead to new complexity

• The specific and diverse ingredients needed for new complexity to emerge.

Do you think that history started when writing was invented? Why?

state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof is what we call a:

• claim

• experiments

• proofs

• conditions

What are origin stories?
