  Humans now know much more of the history of the universe. Our brains allow us to understand what is going on today and what was happening billions of years ago, as well as build the necessary technology in order to find out more. In Origin Story (2018), David Christian goes over the entire 13.8 billion-year history of the universe. He starts with the big bang and ends with a tiny look into what the future could hold for us. He focuses on important events for the universe, which he defines as eight thresholds, and explains how each impacted us today. This story is still changing and evolving, and getting more and more complex with time, so it’s important for us to take action and write the best possible future.

  The Dark Energy Puzzle - Piecing...

  In the late 1990s, astronomers made a discovery that completely changed our understanding of the universe. While studying distant supernovae to measure how fast the universe was expanding, researchers expected to see signs that the expansion was slowing down due to gravity. Instead, they found the opposite—the expansion was speeding up. This unexpected observation pointed to something completely unknown, an unseen force that counteracts gravity and drives galaxies apart at an accelerating rate. That force was given the name "dark energy." 
  The term "dark" doesn't mean this energy is black or shadowy, but rather that it's unknown and mysterious. Scientists still don’t know what it really is, only that it seems to make up around 68 percent of the total energy in the universe. That’s a huge amount, especially considering that everything we can see—stars, planets, gas, dust—makes up less than 5 percent. The rest is made of dark matter, another unknown component, but dark energy is even more puzzling. It doesn’t clump like matter does, and it seems to be spread evenly through space. 
  Astronomers began piecing this together by observing Type Ia supernovae, which are exploding stars that always reach roughly the same brightness. Because of that consistency, they can be used like cosmic measuring sticks. When scientists looked at supernovae that were billions of light-years away, they saw that those objects were dimmer than expected. That meant they were farther away than predicted, and the only explanation was that the universe had expanded more than anyone thought. It wasn’t just expanding—it was accelerating.

  The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.
  
  
  
  Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.
  
  
  
  In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
