Capsule Mapping

Connect what you know

Boards thread capsules into a thesis. Grids hold data where every value can cite its source. Capsules keep their live classification, so a map knows when the evidence moves.

1. The universe begins, 13.8 billion years ago

2. Stars forge the elements

3. The Sun and planets form, 4.6 billion years ago

4. A living planet takes shape

6. Life explodes, and dies back

7. Humans arrive, about 300,000 years ago

8. Farms, cities and writing

9. What we still do not know

Read it left to right, top to bottom. Each chapter rests on capsules you can open, and the colours show how settled each step is: the early universe is Proven or Theory, the start of life is still Hypothesis.

None of these were silly at the time. Each fitted the evidence people had. They were retired because someone measured something new.

Epigenetics brought back a small echo of Lamarck: some marks on genes can pass to offspring. It does not rescue the old theory.
