From astronomer and science humorist Eric Schulman comes this amusing, 200-word history of the universe. You may have come across it before; it has enjoyed wide popularity and has been updated from its original version. Its concision appeals to me.

Glad you like it!
I’m honored by your visit, Dr. Schulman! As one who wishes he could write more concisely, I really admire writing like this.
