Essay on Historical Changes and Differences: 13.8 Billion Years

This essay explores the central theme of change and difference across 13.8 billion years of history, beginning with the Big Bang and the formation of the universe. It examines the changes that occurred before life, including the cooling of the universe and the formation of atoms, and then shifts to the emergence of life on Earth, discussing theories like heterogenesis and the extinction of species. The essay also analyzes the evolution of human beings, from the development of language and agriculture to technological advancements like nuclear weapons and nanotechnology. The conclusion emphasizes the constant nature of change and the importance of embracing positive changes for the future, referencing various scientific and historical sources to support its arguments.

1CHANGE/DIFFERENCE SINCE 13.8 BILLION YEARS OF HISTORY
Change is an all-inclusive term that is being used to describe the events that are
constantly changing over the period. The changes will be studied by analyzing the universe that
lies before life, the earth after the emergence of life and changes applied in the human world.
The paper aims to understand the importance of changes as the most important pattern that the
universe constantly followed since the beginning of time as the universe is constantly
transforming or changing.
The changes that took place in the universe before life took place can be explained
through the big bang theory. During the time of big bang, all the constituents of the universe was
squashed into a significantly hot and enormously solid peck of substance (Klinkhamer 2019)
However, before that, there was no sort of boundary in the universe. The universe was
considered a single unit before the changes that the big bang brought in the universe. However,
time was not a part of the universe unlike the present time (Chan 2019) The big bang is
considered to be the first step from which the whole universe and history changed. After
expanding, the universe cooled down from its hot temperature and allowed the creation of the
atoms.
The existence of life took place on earth on about 3.5 billion years ago during the period
of Eoarchean when a huge amount of crust hardened followed by the liquefied Hadean Eon
(Benner et al 2019) The physical evidence of life on earth is that of the microfossils in the
formation of iron. Study shows that life began to take place on earth after the formation of the
oceans. The theory of heterogenesis can also be considered for this purpose. According to the
theory, some form of life intends to arise from the other. However, 99% of the five million living
species seems to be extinct.

Changes in the human being are evident from its constant development from that of the
African Chimpanzees. Changes among human beings is also evident through the capability
power of controlling the fire, which began with that of the Homo erectus. According to the
language theory of Richard Dawkins, a new civilization took place because of the complications
in language (Henn, Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman 2019) Agriculture had a huge impact on the
change in human beings. An excessive amount of food leads to the rise of the governing class.
This also leads to the rise of the division in labor. In about 14th century, renaissance took place
in Italy, which brought about great changes in the arts, religion and science of human beings.
Nuclear weapons, nanotechnology are some of the examples of technological developments of
human beings, which also led to the increase of war, diseases, poverty and climate change.
The conclusion made from the study is that change is constant. The universe is fast
changing and various other changes are going to take place in the upcoming future. The Changes
can be both negative and positive; however, the positive changes must be accepted and
implemented by human beings for the better future.
