The Day the Universe Changed


There are moments throughout human history that define a sharp border between what used to be and something new. These moments are all founded on a specific idea or event that changed how humans thought and behaved. Your goal is to choose one and explain, in detail, how it changed history. Tell the story. You need to not only describe what the idea or event is, but how it influenced history to the present moment.
