Big History is an emerging academic discipline which examines history from the Big Bang to the present. It examines long time frames using a multidisciplinary approach based on combining numerous disciplines from science and the humanities, and explores human existence in the context of this bigger picture. It integrates studies of the cosmos, Earth, life, and humanity using empirical evidence to explore cause-and-effect relations, and is taught at universities and secondary schools often using web-based interactive presentations. It is an academic movement spearheaded by historian David Christian of Australia's Macquarie University, who coined the term "Big History", and is made of an "unusual coalition of scholars". An early example of teaching big history is found in John F. Kennedy's famous speech at Rice University where he explains 50,000 years of human history condensed into half a century. Some historians have expressed skepticism towards "scientific history" and argue that the claims of Big History are unoriginal.
Big History is an American television documentary series narrated by Bryan Cranston, which originally aired on H2 in 2013. Each episode covers a single topic from history and shows connections between that topic and various fields of science and social science. Sixteen half-hour episodes aired in the first season, followed by a two-hour finale drawing connections between the sixteen topics. The series has been criticized for its factual inaccuracies.
Try to understand what I'm going through
and don't blame for what folks will do
for some of us it's not a bood time
but you're going to get used to
and you'd better resign yourself.
CHORUS You get what you deserve
you ought to find out what it's worth
and you've gotta have a lotta nerve.
You just do what pleases you
and go on and sign out every move
you're going to get place in the scene
all God's orphans get face in the dream.
Too bad such a drag ow !
so much pain down the drain
