Much thanks for checking up on this, sorry for the delay; I wasn't monitoring the talk page. The graphic dates had been pulled from a variety of sources. I revisited points of conflict in dates:
-- Efbrazil ( talk) 18:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm a little unsure as to the purpose of this idea. Is it simply to help humans conceptualize the vast spans of time in Cosmology?
Something to this effect should be added to the article by somebody who actually knows anything about this. Lesmothian ( talk) 19:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
It would be interesting to give this information in the article. Was Sagan the inventor or just the main "popularizer"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.219.165.19 ( talk) 09:28, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Around 1750, Franz Josef Haydn establishes and popularizes new forms of musical expression from which practically all structured later classical music descend. The break between baroque and rococo music is huge. Pbrower2a ( talk) 03:07, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Why is Haydn etc. even mentioned in a page about the chronology of the Universe? He's a great composer, I suppose, but still? More to the point, why is this article a random collection of links in an apparent attempt to compile a "Cosmic Calendar" instead of an actual article about the concept of "Cosmic Calendar" as employed by Sagan and others? I thought we had Wikibooks precisely for such purposes. -- dab (𒁳) 12:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
The first reference about the Cosmic Calendar that is apparently supposed to be an "activity" (according to the URL), gives a 404. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.55.200.172 ( talk) 22:28, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Cosmic Calendar. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{

Propose deleting this section as it is highly subjective, doesn’t cite sources and once you get into cosmological years written in as powers of 10 it ceases to fulfil the stated purpose of making the scale intuitive. Btljs ( talk) 20:29, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
