Michael BlumeJa, ich bin an sich ein großer Fan von #BigHistory , wie sie z.B. auch #YuvalNoahHarari schreibt. Gleichwohl akzeptiere ich den Einwand von #Schlögel , wonach der Fokus auf #Geschichte als linearer #Zeit schnell den #Raum unsichtbar zu machen droht. Neben dem „Warum dann?“ sollte m.E. auch „Warum dort?“ gefragt werden. Habe so z.B. bei #BwieBerlin die Zeit-Räume von #Kohle und #Erdöl thematisiert, aus denen sich erst #Preußen und das #DeutscheReich ergaben: https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/b-wie-berlin-babylon-preussen-und-der-fossile-faschismus/
B wie Berlin - Babylon, Preußen und der fossile Faschismus
Es bleibt mir eine Ehre und Aufgabe, einst die Reform der deutschen, von den Nazis antisemitisch verformten Buchstabiertafel angestoßen zu haben. Und ich habe mir vorgenommen, über Jahre hinweg Deutschland in Form von eBooks neu …

How Everything Connects
Feynman once selected, as the single most important statement in science, that everything is made of atoms. It follows that the properties of everything depend on how these atoms are joined together, giving rise to the vast field we know of today as chemistry.

31. La civilización del cambio climático
Listen to this episode from El amanecer terrestre on Spotify. En el episodio de hoy, hablamos con Fernando Valladares uno de los mejores comunicadores y divulgadores en nuestro idioma sobre esta situación planetaria en la que nos encontramos. Fernando es doctor en biología, investigador del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas y profesor asociado en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. Con él hablamos sobre cambio climático y los distintos conceptos relacionados con esta situación anómala para la biosfera y para los seres humanos, también sobre transición energética, refugiados climáticos y un montón de temas extraídos de su último libro “La recivilización”, con una charla distendida y con tono optimista aún sin perder de vista la urgencia y relevancia de la crisis sistémica en la que nos vemos envueltos.Este episodio se hace gracias a la colaboración entre la Cátedra de Cambio Climático de la Universidad de Oviedo (CuCC) y El Amanecer Terrestre, podcast de la red Podcastidae. Dirigido y presentado por Olga García Moreno. Música original de David de Miguel. Edición y difusión a cargo de Oikos MSP.

About 13.8 billion years ago the universe was born, with space and time coming into being in the same instant. By the time the universe was 1 second old, the four forces in nature had acquired their present characteristics, elementary particles had obtained their mass, and particles constituting the nuclei of atoms were created.

Origin Story: A Big History of Everything
How did we get from the Big Bang to today's staggering complexity, in which seven billion humans are connected into networks powerful enough to transform the planet? And why, in comparison, are our closest primate relatives reduced to near-extinction?

We tend to think of evolution as a biological process of rising complexity that began with single-celled organisms here on earth, but the universe has been undergoing a cosmic evolution of growing complexity from the very beginning.
Before there could be cells, there needed to be complex molecules and an array of elements to make them.
