The Boring Billion is the name geologists give to the stretch between roughly 1.8 and 0.8 billion years ago, when low-oxygen oceans slowed complex life — but evolution did not pause and Earth was not simply a billion years of slime

For roughly a billion years — from 1.8 to 0.8 billion years ago — Earth's oceans went chemically stagnant, oxygen stalled, and life did nothing much except reproduce as microbial slime. Geologists call it the Boring Billion, and it is the longest uneventful chapter in the planet's history. Read more

In 1991, Cambridge computer scientists Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Paul Jardetzky pointed a grayscale camera at a coffee pot outside the Trojan Room to spare themselves three flights of stairs — and accidentally built the world's first webcam. Here's how a 128×128 pixel workaround for a mundane annoyance turned into the template for every livestream on the planet. Read more
