Heinz von foerster did one of these around 1930, to test how evenly major historical events would fill it and nigel calder did a nice 100-page prose version in 1983 called 'timescale: an atlas of the 4th dimension'. choosing a 'now' point is problematic but i picked 31dec 2001 for convenience

It's precisely divided into 1015 lines covering the big bang to 31dec 2000 if i manage to find one link per line, this will make the page about 100k, which is the maximum google will index. (this gratifies my desire for 'necessary' web-design: theory. design rationale

Update i've added 115 lines of 'negative exponents' that carry the story almost to the end of 2001, tracing the wtc plot and the first year of w's presidency. abbreviations used
