| Summary: | Because of the “big” in “Big History,” its story of the one universe will have to expand if or when we incorporate the separate histories of extraterrestrial civilizations. communication exchange between terrestrials and extraterrestrials occurs, two things will likely happen: the scope of our Big History will become more comprehensive and, perhaps also, deeper in self-understanding. Objective knowledge of extraterrestrial history will expand our cosmic horizon while, at the same time, it may compel a subjective transformation of our place in the cosmic story. As the President of the International Big History Association, Lowell Gustafson, hints: Big History requires a galactic politics. |
