Where possible, I cite sources from which I made inferences so that future readers — should they recover the technical literature of this era — can trace specific claims back to their origins and assess them for themselves. References are listed, in numbered form, at the end of each entry.
How did living things arise on a planet that was, at first, not living?
In the previous entry I began recording events unfolding during my lifetime — conflicts between nations and the uncertainties of the present moment. Those events belong to the immediate history and concerns of our species, which I will continue to document in future logs. In this entry, however, I step much further back in time to describe what we currently understand about our origins, beginning with the origins of the universe.
As I noted in my first log, groups of my own species are now engaged in armed conflict with one another. The situation is unstable and expanding. There is a real possibility that these conflicts could draw in many nations across the planet, potentially leading to a war of such scale and destructive power that it could threaten the survival of our civilization—and perhaps even our species.
Because of this, I feel compelled to record events as they happen, even if the broader background that would help you understand them must come later.
Our star is one of hundreds of billions inside a galaxy we call the Milky Way. Humans have only recently come to understand how vast the universe is, and how small our world is within it.
I am writing these logs during my lifetime to record what it is like to live as a human in this moment of history.
