I noticed this TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/david_christian_big_history.html
on the history of the cosmos from the big bang to the present, emphasizing 8 threshold events. This has turned into a project to introduce a new course to educate folks on Big History and its importance for our surviving the challenges we currently face. http://www.bighistoryproject.com/ (Be sure to click on the explore timeline link) I found it interesting too from the SFX projet approach: big ideas into important projects. -- Owen
