ChronoZoom
ChronoZoom is a free open source project that visualizes time on the broadest possible scale from the Big Bang to the present day.〔(Blowing Your Mind with Chronozoom (or how we can wrap our minds around ‘Big History’) )〕 Conceived by Walter Alvarez and Roland Saekow and developed by the department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of California, Berkeley in collaboration with Microsoft Research and Moscow State University, Alvarez unveiled the first ChronoZoom prototype at UC Berkeley's 2010 Faculty Research Lecture.〔(History of Faculty Research Lectures at UC Berkeley )〕 That demo is available to the public online, and a second version rewritten in HTML5 is now available and open source.〔(UC Berkeley ChronoZoom 2.0 Beta Press Release )〕 ChronoZoom was inspired by the study of Big History, and it approaches the documentation and visualization of time and history in the same way that Google Earth deals with geography.〔(ChronoZoom is the coolest thing since GoogleEarth. )〕 ChronoZoom allows users to see the true scale of time over cosmic, geologic, biological and social periods.〔(State Geologist of Arizona Discusses ChronoZoom )〕
==Purpose==
The primary goal of ChronoZoom is to make time relationships between different studies of history clear and vivid. In the process, it provides a framework for exploring related electronic resources. It thus serves as a "master timeline" tying together all kinds of specialized timelines and electronic resources, and aspires to bridge the gap between the humanities and the sciences and to bring together and unify all knowledge of the past.〔(Microsoft Research Project Page )〕 ChronoZoom is planned as an educational tool as well as a research tool, by allowing researchers to plot various time series data next to each other for comparison.
