With reference to the work of both Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen, Wonders of the Universe, a timeline had been designed to adhere to the current scientific theories as to how the universe expanded and formed after the initial event, aptly named "Big Bang". Possible theories may come later as to what created this event, but suffice to say that for the basis of this blog we are more interested as to how two small conjoined villages, Whatlington and Vinehall Street, in East Sussex came to in existence.
Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen have broken up the events of the estimated 13.7 billion years of the universe's life based on both time and the approximate temperature of space (a video of the timeline can be seen here but it will describe the next few posts).
Gravity, the natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body upon objects at or near its surface, is separated from the other forces of nature (the other three forces of nature are electromagnetism, strong nuclear interaction and weak nuclear interaction) at a time point up to 10–43 seconds after the Big Bang event. This period of time, thought to be the shortest known, is called the Planck Epoch (after Max Planck).
