Tech Links: ChronoZoom



Can a new website help us comprehend just how little time has passed since humans appeared on Earth?  ChronoZoom is an infinitely expandable timeline of "big history" -- a field of history not focused on, say, the Renaissance or the 20th century, but of the entire universe, all 13.7 billion years of it. Using ChronoZoom, you can navigate from era to era, and zoom far into the details of particular periods, where you'll find little curated "exhibits" about the major events of that time.
