The Very Rough Guide to the Multiverse charts the history of the universe from the big bang, through to the evolution of life and then people. It then covers the history of science from prehistoric times to the modern day. I am currently working on the accompanying book; The Rough Guide to the Multiverse.
I have created a Timeline which shows when all of these events would have occurred, assuming that the universe will be a year old in 2050. If this were true then the Solar System would have formed on September 1st and by October 1st the first life would have evolved. Humans would have evolved at 23:50 and put a man on the moon by 23:59:59:47.
I have also created a selection of Quotes relating to science and philosophy.
The Star Garden contains a 20,000 short story of the same name. This follows the chain of consciousness of an unhappy college student as she finds herself battling her demons in a strange world.
