Big History is a field in historical study that wants to "undestand in a unified, interdisciplinary way, the history of Cosmos, Earth, life and humanity." Therefore it studies everything from the Big Bang to the present day. Their exponents believe that by separating knowledge in fields, humans can't undestand the universe and the meaning of things. They try to find a way in which everything can be connected and explained in a coherent manner.
