Master Timeline (in progress)


13.7  BILLION YEARS AGO (APPROX) THE BIG BANG 

 At this point in time the entire universe is theorized to have been just a point,  with 
no dimensions.  An incredibly "hot" point,  because temperatures are theoretically
constructed,  based on theoretical states in existence at any point in time.  Since we
know of no other time when any material would exist in this initialized state,  we
cannot even begin to imagine a degree of temperature to assign to this state of
existence of the universe,  all we can say is that it was incredibly "hot",  meaning
that we are trying to convey an image of complete and total disassociation of matter
into a totally unrecognizable form.

Neither time nor space nor gravity,  nor anything else can be theorized to have existed
at that time,  since we have no means of building any theories that can be tested yet, nor
sufficient data that could yield a testable theory about what was going on inside of that
point that the universe was at that distant time.

380.000 YEARS LATER

Now we have some problems.  First we have antimatter and matter being created in equal
quantities and thus annihilating each other in equal measures.  The problem then is,  how
does matter survive this and why didn't antimatter survive?  Is it simply a matter of
"the luck of the draw"?  Or is there something else going on?  Like,  for instance, could
it be that antimatter is too unstable,  such that it might decay before it gets a chance
to annihilate its partner particle of matter?  

I might theorize that there could be a slight difference in the energy needed by quarks
to form antimatter,  so that as the cooling process proceeded,  matter got the upper hand.
In fact, I could say that this problem goes to other particles that make up matter as well,
perhaps making more ways,  or more particles available to construct matter than antimatter.
Obviously something crippled antimatter production,  what it was is the enduring mystery.

Then there's this dark energy and dark matter.  Could it be that dark matter is actually
space itself?  Then dark energy could be some mix of gravity and time.  What prompts
me to think that is,  E=MC².  That squared function tells me that the energy in mass
is two dimensional.  That makes sense because,  if you were to pave a drive way with
asphalt,  you'd need to know 3 dimensions.  But,  if you were using paving blocks,
the third dimension can be done away with,  you only need width and length.

So, could something similar be going on with dark matter,  where we only
need to know about it,  when we find it's interactions interfere with our calculations.

Perhaps dark matter is space/time and/or the substrate upon which matter is "built"?
 I would then theorize that it is because of dark matter that quantum physics works the way
it does,  because it actually interacts with matter in ways we don't yet suspect.
I know,  it's "quick and dirty" theorizing, but I believe that it's better to have something
in mind,  where possible,  because that makes further reading and watching more
interesting,  since you have something to watch play out,  and either be confirmed or
refuted.  

Okay, then,  the next set of videos I'll try to collect will focus on the aftermath of
the big bang and such.

4.5 BILION YEARS AGO

Early Earth  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Early Earth is a term usually defined as Earth's first billion years, or gigayear.[1] On the geologic time scale, this comprises all of the Hadean eon (itself unofficially defined), as well as the Eoarchean and part of the Paleoarchean eras of the Archean eon.
This period of Earth's history, being its earliest, involved the planet's formation from the Solar nebula via the process known as accretion. This period also included the formation of the earliest atmosphere and hydrosphere. It was also defined by the emergence of life and, later, photosynthesis. The earliest supracrustals (such as the Isua greenstone belt) date from the latter half of this period, about 3.8 gya, around the same time as peak late heavy bombardment.

Here's a good video about continental drift (I don't much like the title though but I does give a good dissertation on early continental drift and then goes on into the future of it.)

As far as how water arrived on earth,  they talk about it arriving in salt grains in meteors.  Well,  since the jury is still out we're all free to fashion our own theories.  As for me,  I would not be at all surprised if they discovered that most of the water arrived in the dust that fell on the early earth,  since I suspect that much more dust and micro grain debris fell to earth,  containing more water by volume,  than came in in larger pieces of rock.  Over tens of millions of years I'd think that dust and small grains probably delivered more water to earth than large meteorites/asteroids and comets.

Okay,  here's a great lecture, by Prof Jim Bergin University Of Michigan from 2009  44:32 minutes
How Did Earth Get Its Water?   
Here's a great idea,  remember Theta?  That planet that collided with early Earth to form the moon?
How about if it had a really eccentric orbit that carried it out beyond the asteroid belt a few million times before it hit the earth.  It could have collected lots of water and transferred it to Earth on collision.  Any takers?
