What on Earth Happened? | Christopher LLoyd | TEDxUniversityofReading

Christopher offers us the story of 13.7 billion years of history from the beginning of time to the present day in 20 minutes with the aid of 20 everyday objects, a timeline and a magician’s coat of many pockets.

Christopher Lloyd is an author, speaker, historian, science writer and educationalist. He is a Cambridge historian, award-wining Sunday Times journalist and has written a series of highly acclaimed books that combine science and history to create an interconnected, holistic view of the past. He was recently featured on Dutch broadcaster VPROs series On the Future Species and has appeared on the BBC Breakfast TV and The Today Programme with John Humphreys on Radio 4.

Psyence. Glad to see most people in comments get it

[helenlawson]

the one thing that is obvious is the total fiction of it all

[lolasaint]

Great board for children's classrooms !!

[paradoxical-gr]

This is a surprisingly shallow take. The entire thing summarized in economic inequality, overpopulation and darwinism. Multiple of the things he says here are either misleading, opinionated, or just wrong.

[danmar]

I thought it was going to be the fun, Christopher Lloyd.

[hannahzucker]

Yes God was the designer and orchestrator till man could take responsibility through reasoning and accountability in consciousness i think. I stand in awe and in joy of every one desiring to seek truth and hear the ideas. Sometimes i learn something new or am challenged in the way i've thought or my belief gets supported. Its all good and wonderful but truth just sends my heart sailing and fills it up till i feel like it will explode. I love truth and i Love God which to me is so other yet speaks through and his signature is on everything and i love you all.i'm so greatful for technology. It could be used for such greatness for everyone. If only it was handled with integrity and the welfare of all.

I'm sorry, that's just putting fake stories with absolutely no proof on a time line and saying it's reality in the name of science.

[chantellove]

great talk...shame the audience was like a board of wood

[jillgirdlestone]

Where can you get this chart from? It would be great for our home education.

[itsinviscitellal]

wow there is no way Christopher Lloyd was this young only 7 years ago, he aged poorly, he's the Back to Future guy right?

[janetdougherty]

Love the way you teach. Content extraordinary and the delivery is exceptional.

[LunaOfAsgard]

I will be going to see Chris this week.

[ophiuchus]

Oh and using the name Christopher Lloyd is click bait, you are not the real Christopher Lloyd, so you need to change that.

[Radiance]

This is what on the western hemisphere happened, China is only mentioned in terms of the inventions they brought to the west... or that is the impression I got...

[TheDoggeth_]

He skipped over God and went to Mohammed...lol

[sullysunsets]

You need to stand on the moon to understand today's mess

[anthonymcreynoldsjr]

People don’t actually believe this guy I hope!!!! Wow! Lost in the sauce
