It has been suggested that this article be merged into Graphical timeline from Big Bang to Heat Death. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2024. This more-than-20-billion-year timeline of our universe shows the best estimates of major events from the universe's beginning to anticipated future events. Zero on the scale is the present day.
