10^-43s - The Big Bang
Generation of space and time. All matter within the Universe is created within a single infinitly small point, causing it to be infinetly dense and hot. Black -
Period: to
The Universe

10^-35s => 10^-33s - Inflation of the Universe
The Universe begins to expand. The energy transforms into matter. Expanding Universe -
10^-6 - Universe Takes Shape
Universe starts to form. Becomes less dense and starts to cool. Fundamental forces form: Gravity; Neclea Strong; Nuclea Weak; Electromagnetic. -
1s - Subatonic Paricles
Formation of Quarks, Electrons, Photons and Neutronos due to the fundamental forces and the cooling Universe. Fundamental Forces -
10 000 Yrs - The Radiation Era
Major era in the history of the universe is the energy in the form of radiation -- different wavelengths of light, X rays, radio waves and ultraviolet rays. This energy is the remnant of the primordial fireball, and as the universe expands, the waves of radiation are stretched and diluted until today, they make up the faint glow of microwaves which bathe the entire universe. -
3s - Basic Elements
Basic Elements begin to form. Helium, hydrogen and lithuim, the lightest of the main elements. Still active Electrons present due to heat/kinetic energy. Elements -
300 000 Yrs - Matter
Sarting the formation of neutral atoms. End of the 'Dark Era'. A point of time when the electrons had lost enough enrgy band become stable enough for photons to release and light to fill the universe. -
400 000 - Cosmic Microwave Radiation
This radiation proves to be a barrier blocking further sight for astronomers after a certain time period. -
750 000 Yrs - Early Stars
The first stars and quasars form from gravitational collapse. The intense radiation they emit reionizes the surrounding universe. From this point on, most of the universe is composed of plasma. Galaxy -
150 Million Yrs - Quasars and Gravitational Collapse
The first quasars form from gravitational collapse, and the intense radiation they emit reionizes the surrounding universe. -
500 Million Yrs - Galaxies
Evidence from interstelar research has discovered stars within galaxies to exceed 13.2 Billion Yrs old. This provides evidence that the galaxie itself would have been created close to 500 Million Yrs ago. d -
Period: to
Expanding Universe => 8.2 Billion Yrs

8.7 Billion Yrs - Formation of our Solar System
A molecular cloud made mostly of hydrogen and traces of other elements began to collapse, forming a large sphere in the center which would become the Sun, as well as a surrounding disk. the surrounding disk would colate to form the heavenly bodies that are present in our system. -
9 Billion Yrs - Cosmic expansion
The force of gravity trying to slow the cosmic expansion begins to lose out to the anti-gravitational effect of "dark energy", a mysterious force which has been accelerating the cosmic expansion ever since. -

13.6 Billion Yrs - Extinction of the Dinosuars
The Dinosaurs become extinct due to current unkown causes. Expected meteor crash or global shifts are possible theories. -
13.7 - 15 Billion Yrs - Current Day
The world as we know it today. -
