... (The Big Bang) and ending with the present day and some brief speculation on the future of the planet. The periods are described by using a 24 hour clock as a scale. Although this frequently used metaphor is designed to make the often huge lengths of time more palatable it doesn't really work because under this scale humans only came into existence at 23:59:59 I.e. the last second of the day!
