This is "a really really really short history of nearly everything", in four amazing facts that reveal important and fundamental things about the world and our lives within it.
The first is that we exist, under the circumstances of inestimable chance within the history of the universe, the three others follow with telling consequences about how we should think about our lives on this planet.
This a part of Bill Bryson's Gresham College lecture marking the 350th anniversary of the birth of The Royal Society: 'An Even Shorter History of Nearly Everything'.
In the talk he spoke about the history of science and of the Royal Society, founded 350 years ago by Gresham College Professors (such as Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke) within Gresham College.
The lecture was given to 800 people within the Guildhall on the 30th of September 2010. The event was hosted in conjunction with the City of London Corporation and the Royal Society.
Bill Bryson's full lecture is available to download (like all of our lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats:

The writer of “A Short History of Nearly Everything” talks with Paul Willis
Bill Bryson was well known as a travel writer before his curiosity about why and how we know what we know led to him writing A Short History of Nearly Everything. This best-selling book is a lay person’s guide the investigation of space, time, evolution, genetics and all the other big stuff that has so transformed our understanding of the world.
How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out?
This quirky, energetic and highly entertaining interview with Bill was recorded at the Perth Writers Festival in 2005. It was produced as part of the ABC’s made-for-vodcast series, Talking Science.

William George "Bill" Bryson (24 February 1898 – 2 March 1973) was an Australian politician for the Australian Labor Party from 1943 to 1946 and 1949 to 1955 and helped establish the Democratic Labor Party.
Bryson won the House of Representatives seat of Bourke at the 1943 election, but was beaten by the independent Doris Blackburn at the 1946 election. Bourke was abolished prior to the 1949 election and partly replaced by Wills and Bryson defeated Blackburn at the election. In 1955, Bryson and six other Victorian federal members were expelled from the Labor Party as members of the Industrial Groups. In April 1955, they established the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), which was renamed the Democratic Labor Party in 1957. Bryson was beaten by the Labor candidate, Gordon Bryant at the 1955 election.
Bill Bryson was the treasurer of the Carlton Football Club from 1927 to 1943.

William McGuire "Bill" Bryson, OBE, (born December 8, 1951) is a best-selling American author of humorous books on travel, as well as books on the English language and on science. Born an American, he was a resident of Britain for most of his adult life before returning to the US in 1995. In 2003 Bryson moved back to Britain, living in the old rectory of Wramplingham, Norfolk, and was appointed Chancellor of Durham University.
Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, the son of William and Mary Bryson. (In 2006 Bryson published The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, a humorous account of his childhood years in Des Moines.) His mother was of Irish stock. He has an older brother, Michael and a sister, Mary Jane Elizabeth.
Bryson attended Drake University for two years before dropping out in 1972, deciding to instead backpack around Europe for four months. He returned to Europe the following year with a high school friend, the pseudonymous Stephen Katz. Some of his experiences from this trip are relived as flashbacks in Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe, which documents a similar journey Bryson made twenty years later.

This is "a really really really short history of nearly everything", in four amazing facts that reveal important and fundamental things about the world and our lives within it.
The first is that we exist, under the circumstances of inestimable chance within the history of the universe, the three others follow with telling consequences about how we should think about our lives on this planet.
This a part of Bill Bryson's Gresham College lecture marking the 350th anniversary of the birth of The Royal Society: 'An Even Shorter History of Nearly Everything'.
In the talk he spoke about the history of science and of the Royal Society, founded 350 years ago by Gresham College Professors (such as Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke) within Gresham College.
The lecture was given to 800 people within the Guildhall on the 30th of September 2010. The event was hosted in conjunction with the City of London Corporation and the Royal Society.
Bill Bryson's full lecture is available to download (like all of our lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats:

Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download.

The writer of “A Short History of Nearly Everything” talks with Paul Willis
Bill Bryson was well known as a travel writer before his curiosity about why and how we know what we know led to him writing A Short History of Nearly Everything. This best-selling book is a lay person’s guide the investigation of space, time, evolution, genetics and all the other big stuff that has so transformed our understanding of the world.
How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth, or what a black hole is, or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out?
This quirky, energetic and highly entertaining interview with Bill was recorded at the Perth Writers Festival in 2005. It was produced as part of the ABC’s made-for-vodcast series, Talking Science.
