Timeline of the early universe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The timeline of the early universe outlines the formation and subsequent evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang (13.799 ± 0.021 billion years ago) to the present day. An epoch is a moment in time from which nature or situations change to such a degree that it marks the beginning of a new era or age.
For timeline as chronology, see chronology of the universe.
