Timeline of the Universe — for scifi geeks
Tim Callender from the Babylon Podcast sent me a link to “The Unified Field Crossover History of the Universe“, which has been meticulously researched and often delves into utter geekdom, but even I found hi-larious.
If you ever wondered what the Doctor was doing at the time the Vulcans were getting into space travel and just what the Vorlons had to do with the birth of Jesus, you’ll like it too.
Choosing a section to quote was difficult:
130,000 BC: Homo sapiens sapiens begins to replace Homo sapiens neandrathalis.
- Homo trollus damuglius diverges from homo sapiens neandrathalis.100,000 BC: Time-Lords from the future arrive on the planet Minyos, decide to do all they can to help Minyan cvilization develop. This messes things up so badly most future Time-Lords will develop a non-interventionist policy.
60,000 BC: Emergence of homo sapiens aquaticus in waters.
50,000 BC: Emergence of homo sapiens off-shoots: homo elvis, homo dwarvus, homo hobbitus.
- In water, regular merfolk and Deep Ones diverge.
- Chieftan Crom-Ya experiences mind-control effects from Great Old Ones.15,000 BC: In space, construction begins on Ringworld.
- On earth, Cthulhu/Morgoth awakens, badly injured. Sensing sentient beings ’round campfires, reaches for help, hopes to reach corruptable shaman. Will eventually reach Sauron the Necromancer. Efforts will fail. Sauron will retreat into caves.
The whole thing is split over multiple pages. I made it to the 1200’s before my head a’spload.

This thing is awesome! I think I’m going through geek overload. The thing I found really interesting was the entry in 1973 about the Ann Arbor SF group calling themselves “Stilyagi” (technically The Stilyagi Air Corp), since I have been a member of that group for many years. Didn’t know we rated an entry on the timeline.

Thanks for the link to my old timeline! I’m recovering from an illness, and finding your comments gave me a laugh. I’ll reciprocate when I update tomorrow.
Chip, I know many of the Stilyagi Air Corps, so it’s possible we’ve met.
