YAAAAAAY!!! PBS Mysteries of Deep Time has been one of my favorite podcasts for a long time. Ever since it came out I have been obsessing. This video is awesome- love to listen to tyou both and also amazing and very grounding to see you talk about it in front a camera!! Callie and Blake- you are both such staples of my understanding of earth history. PBS eons has launched my personal obsession with paleontology and evolutionary biology. I really cannot express how much yall mean to me. 💚💚
The thing is that Sun goes through periods of heavy solar flares. If the Earth shifting orbit, into a cooler position could cause magnetosphere to turn. Over a millennium Vulcanic activities caused by a magnetospheric alteration along with radiation storms from solar flares could have been plausible causing a series of small extinctions through out this Epoch we call the end- Ordovician extinction along with temp changes. Maybe Kallie Moore could tell us more of about magnetospheric polar switches and how it might have effected life on Earth through the different Epochs in other programs. Was there enough oxygen produced by phytoplankton? As I understand it the atmosphere was not high in oxygen and so Ozone was not in high enough quantities to protect land creature from radiation. Unless the travelers want to live underwater most of the time I see a very short visit. 😶🌫Love your programs, just make sure you return our EON temporal team back to us rare to medium rare. 😜
Hi! Seaweed biologist here. Please consider doing an episode on seaweeds and/or kelp forests! There’s so much exciting research on seaweed evolution, and it would be amazing to share it with a broad audience. I've been a fan since the show began and often share your content with my students. Thank you so much for all the great work!
Seeing as half of the six major ‘true’ multicellular clades are or at least started out as ‘seaweed’ in some sense, that would be awesome! The varied ways they got hold of chlorophyll, imagining a world dominated more by rhodophytes, the ecological worlds kelp forests provide, how weirdly different they all are :)
the podcast is awesome of course, but i really like these dramatic reading segments at the beginning the most, it´s well written, and really well narrated. that would easily work as longer form format in itself especcially for us in the sleep club and especcially if you have a pleasent voice and tone like she does.
@@Killercreek Yeah I really loved the concept for season 1. I think conversational podcasts are more popular these days, so I'm guessing they're hoping to appeal to that.
Your first priority would be air to breathe. Is the atmosphere suitable for modern humans? I think the CO2 level of the atmosphere is high enough to cause distress in a human because breathing out would not lower the bodies dissolved CO2 low enough to be comfortable. A human would feel as though they were asphyxiating. I also understand the O2 atmospheric level was higher than the 19% of today. So, bizarrely, there would be plenty of oxygen for metabolic and breathing purposes. Humans would feel as they were suffocating despite not actually suffocating.
As I mentioned in my own comment you would need NASA levels of technology and more to make this travel in time. CO2 and the rarified air would be a terrible hindrance in any physical activity, an oxygen bottle and a pressurised habitat would be needed to even attempt to survive in such environment. Also an electrolysis plant or a sabatier reactor would be handy to either process that CO2 in useful resources or make breathable air.
@@egillskallagrimson5879 Why would the habitat need to be pressurized? Evidence seems to suggest earth has been around 1bar most of its lifespan with little fluctuation (excluding its very very early life where pressure was really high). Also there's easily enough oxygen in the air that you could literally just refill a common rebreather you get at a scuba shop. Granted you had a way to pressurize and fill the tank that is
It would be like being in a crowded room. 4500 ppm is a bit under 1/2 percent, which even OSHA allows for an 8 hour work day. 45000 ppm is life threatening, 4500 not so much, although I don't think we have studies on long term exposure (more than a few months).
End Ordoviician extinction was first caused by climate changed caused by too much oxygen in the atmosphere. I really don't think there would have been any period in the Paleozoic where there wouldn't be enough oxygen and in some cases you'd have the opposite problem: too much. Oxygen levels at the time discussed in this video are on par with today so we'd be fine in that regard.
Kallie: "I can excuse [setting aside veganism to eat shellfish during the Cambrian Explosion] but I draw the line at [full nudity during the aftermath of the End-Ordovician Extinction]"
For cooking, bring a large fresnel lens or a solar cooker with you. Cook with sunlight. With the large early squid/octopus relatives, they may have been inedible. Large squids today use ammonium chloride as part of their buoyancy system, which makes them inedible to us. It's certainly possible that these large ancient ones also used this.
Definitely underestimating how important shelter would be. Without trees, your survival would definitely hinge upon finding a cave to get out of the elements. The wind and rain and sun, even without gamma rays, would be devastating and draining. Best times to hunt and scavenge would be dawn and dusk, digging along the coast if possible some pits and such to hopefully trap something there after high tide. Long term survival would revolve around sponge farming, probably. Overall, not an optimistic situation at all. Especially without wood.
@@ElorauroraFor the most part, no. And the decomposing body matter would contaminate whatever you tried to trap. Consider sculpted shingle or baked mud instead (above the high tide mark).
@@ilokiviplease forgive me but would there even be proper soil/mud?! I'm sorry if I'm wayyyy off. I literally have no idea what the timeline for soil looks like 😅
Blake: "Jawless fish are less bitey" Me, who's seen the Lovecraftian mouth of a lamprey: "You sure about that?" My item that I'd take back is a solar oven with some kind of reinforced glass, and some spare panes - it's a simple enough device that you don't have to worry about it breaking down as long as the glass is intact, and it means you can cook anywhere as long as it's hot and sunny. It should be possible to manufacture other tools from natural resources like stone or animal body parts, if you know how. Stone knapping would be an essential skill. ideally you'd want to be in an area with obsidian.
Excellent! I hope to hear about the other extinction events. My major in college was biology and I have alwasy been fascinated by how life began, selected and survived, until it got down to us. Surely, we're not the end product.
@@josephrion3514 No, I was just making a joking Minecraft reference. In the game you can only find waterlogged sponges and have to dry them in a furnace before they can absorb water again.
110 degree oceans? Must have been awful humid; probably too humid to dry out bryophytes enough to even smolder. And think of what the hurricanes would be like!
Something tells me that if I swam out into the sea after looking on those dead critters along the shoreline my heart would break for the animals left behind
Hi! Love Eons! Surely one of those mind-boggling number of sponges can be dried out and used as fuel. For me, I would want to take a Fresnel lens... using indirect heat on rocks is one thing but the quick fry using sunlight is cool. I'm a trilobite fan, so my souvenir would be one of those.
Excited to watch the first new episode since I found this channel a few days ago! Perfect timing too, I just finished my watchthrough of the entire back catalog! I've gotten so many ideas for extinct animals to make for my 3tsy st0re ✍️
If we, or whatever form we were in at the time, didn't survive, we wouldn't be here today. Lol. It might be difficult for modern humans but our distant ancestors certainly had what it takes.
I do wonder if at that stage of evolution stuff like Vitamins C and B12 or K were already a thing. It'd be kinda depressing to go through the whole effort of catching a sea scorpion and finding ways to light a fire on dried moss and stone alone, only to then find out you can't maintain your blood clotting ability on that kind of diet.
Also moving towards the poles will be colder, just like today average temp doesnt mean the entire planet is that temp. Rain and streams would provide fresh water, any dry organic matter can be used for fire.
Hadean? Hard no, not without highly sophisticated full-body PPE, designed to withstand both high temperatures and higher pressures (as well as having oxygen tanks for O2). Archean and most of Proterozoic? No, not without oxygen tanks. And probably yet more PPE depending on the exact period.
Loving this series! Very thought provoking. The last few episodes have been struggling with the lack of fuel to cook the relatively abundant marine life. I think that the one item I would bring would be a solar stove (either cobbled together from my time machine or purpose built). There's an overabundance of solar radiation, so one of those devices would be indispensible for making your food and water safe to consume. There's plenty of seashells and rocks available to fashion tools and hunting gear, so that's probably not going to be a problem (after a bit of a learning curve). What's the oxygen content in the atmosphere? Survival becomes a moot point if you're suffocating.
Was there macroalga? [seaweed]? If so he could dry it and use it for a fire or keep it wet for food. So mosses/liverworts are not the only "plant" to eat or use for a wide variety of possibilities.
Remember, the moss we have, are evolved to deal with being eaten. It's likely moss in the Ordovician period might be more edible, due to the lack of too many land animals.
I wonder if these plants would be as toxic since it might have acquired it as defense against things that didn't exist yet. Although it could be toxic from what it absorbs from the atmosphere and or soil.
Evolution selects for traits which enable an organism to survive more effectively in its environment, rather than anticipating a predatory response which doesn’t exist. It is reactive and not proactive. Any toxicity from materials absorbed from water or sea bed would be coincidental, as mammals didn’t exist in the Ordovician period.
With 40C water temperature the storms produced during that time must be insane. Just living at the coast would be incredibly dangerous. You would be facing category 10 hurricanes.
Today, hotter oceans don't cause more hurricanes. They only cause stronger hurricanes but they occur less frequently. We are seeing more cat 3+ hurricanes but less hurricanes overall. Back then the land masses were in a different location and orientation. Mostly just one big land mass called Gondwana so if hurricanes formed in the right region it may hit but would only hit certain areas. It's also quite likely that where hurricanes formed they just traveled around the ocean and never hit land at all. I doubt we even know at this point.
No, hurricanes are the product of the Earth's rotation and specific energetic imbalances in the atmosphere, they can't constantly form just because it's warmer. In all likelihood, they would just form further from the tropics at rates not too different from today's and be faster but smaller.
@@BM1982.V2 You're probably right. But, the only place to find food, and therefore to live is right on the sea shore. Hot tub oceans would provide a lot of energy to any storm system. Unless you're some kind of moss, it could turn out to be a nasty place to live.
Uhm... What about something like trace nutrients? Vitamin C pops into mind. Something we can't synthesize ourselves and must get from eating things rich in it... If those things don't exist yet, like citrus trees, wouldn't you get scurvy and eventually die from that?
This was disgust in the devonian episode, and there is a decent chance you could get it by eating specific organs of sea creatures. But there is a chance that it just was not present enough and you would eventually get scurvy
What about toxic gases? This is at the end of massive volcanic activity. Also what ozone levels in the upper atmosphere? If it is too low, clothes are not merely desirable but mandatory.
How many of the really big sea scorpions and cephalopods are likely to be still around in the immediate aftermath of the mass extinction. Big apex predators like them would be among the first groups to get knocked off by the extinction event.
Tropics would be a death trap. Keeping cool would be virtually impossible in an environment with 40 degree °C sea surface. Not to mention the storms would be absolutely oppressive.
I would love an in depth podcast about ediacaran fauna. Even a video all about the origin of trilobites. It baffles me how dozens of different species came out of no where. Were they there during the late Ediacaran? Relatives of Parvancorina?
Yes i'm a survivor. I would find a way to make it for a while anyway. Until I got a cut that became infected and I died because there's no antibiotics. 😅
If there's moss, would there be peat you could use for fuel? How long does it take for peat to accumulate? Also, they eat kelp in Japan - it's called kombu, and used to make a tea called kombu-cha.
Gamma ray bursts would leave a layer of an unusual mix of isotopes in sedimentary layers. We don't know enough to say for sure that the layer was caused by a gamma ray burst, but we know it was from some abnormal nucleosynthesis event. There are sedimentary layers from other time periods that indicate the earth has been hit several times by extreme space-weather.
We’re publishing the Eons podcast right here on UA-cam during our off weeks!
As usual, we’ll be back with another regular Eons episode next week.
If the oceans were so hot, didn't they cause constant hurricanes?
Please mark the podcast episodes as such in the title, pretty please!

Absolutely loving this deep diving on surviving different times in history series. Elite tier PBS Eons
While listening to the intro, I was thinking nothing except "I hope they're all okay though."
Listening to the intro reminded me of the first trailer for Death Stranding.
*Mass Extinction(s) Happen*
Sponges: "I didn't hear no bell."
32:24 ah yes, gamma ray bursts.. or as one of my dear friends once hilariously tagged them, 'interstellar doom burps'.
If you scream into the void loud enough...
I've also checked and, according to Google AI, "gamma rays are not blocked by sunscreen"
Big fan of this long form content. Great intro too. Very evocative story telling.

Tools=limited to scrubbers. Burnable, definitely, although slow burn and low heat.
I'm absolutely loving this series!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Go, sponges!! I always admired sponges. They're so weird, and they can survive so much.
If you can find a hot spring, you Can boil cook your food.
I pointed that out in the Cambrian episode!
I forget who the paleontologist was who ate a horseshoe crab because it was the closest thing he could get to a trilobite. He said it was awful.
For cooking, bring a large fresnel lens or a solar cooker with you. Cook with sunlight.
With the large early squid/octopus relatives, they may have been inedible. Large squids today use ammonium chloride as part of their buoyancy system, which makes them inedible to us. It's certainly possible that these large ancient ones also used this.

Sponges are filter feeders. They cleaned the water, so other living things sought refuge among the cleaner waters around the sponge colonies.

With the seven letters "S P O N G I V" you can turn the word "ORE" into "SPONGIVORE" in Scrabble. I'll have to remember that one.
How many of the really big sea scorpions and cephalopods are likely to be still around in the immediate aftermath of the mass extinction. Big apex predators like them would be among the first groups to get knocked off by the extinction event.
