Explore 13.7 Billion Years Of Cosmic History In Your Browser With ChronoZoom Sometimes I feel like we of the tech community tend to get bogged down in the little stuff. Hardware specs, OS choices, rumor after endless rumor — it can be nice to just take a step back and stop sweating the small stuff. For a bit of perspective, why not take a few minutes this fine Friday afternoon and explore the nearly 14 billion year history of the cosmos as we know it? There are plenty of ways to do it — randomly clicking through Wikipedia could get the job done — but why not do it with a little pizzazz? With ChronoZoom, we can do just that. ChronoZoom splays out the entirety of cosmic history in a web browser, where users can click into different epochs to learn about about the events that have culminated to bring us to where we are today — in my case, sitting in an office chair writing about space. The ChronoZoom project is the brainchild of Professor Walter Alvarez and a former student of his named Roland Saekow.
