Summary

Description
English: The Triangle of Everything is a log-log chart of everything that has existed since the Big Bang or could ever have existed. All existing objects are bound by three lines: the Compton Limit, the Schwarzschild radius, and the Hubble radius. The vertices are the Big Bang on the right, the Observable universe on the top left, and the heat death of the universe / true vacuum / zero-point energy universe on the bottom left.

Mass and energy are converted through Einstein's formula, while energy and temperature are correlated through Boltzmann's constant. Since mass is energy, this chart also represents temperature, and since the Big Bang is essentially a rapid drop in density, it also charts events since the beginning of time. All Planck Units are represented on the chart.

Two cutouts focus on the areas representing Stellar Evolution and the main fundamental particles of the Standard Model. Some objects listed are still hypothetical. There is also a region indicating where Dark Matter has not been excluded from existing yet.
