- “We live on a rock-coated metal ball hurtling at 66,000 miles per hour through space, yet despite our breakneck orbit through a crowded cosmic neighbourhood it is the changes happening closer to home that present the greatest threats to humanity.” Professor Iain Stewart MBE, Director of the Sustainable Earth Institute and Professor of Geoscience Communication.
This is the big picture story of that planet we call ‘home’ - its history, how it works and what that means for us living on it - told through remarkable imagery and amazing science.
Listen to explore the Earth’s natural violence, the un-natural shifts in our oceans and climate, and the resulting global challenges that threaten how we live on this extraordinary human planet.
Premiered on 27 November 2020 as part of the University of Plymouth’s FUTURES2020 events, see more - www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/f...
Thank you so much for yet another informative and interesting video Professor Iain Stewart. please continue making these videos. I watched Earth The Biography almost 3 years ago and I loved it immediately and I have become so fond of you and your work since then.
How do we get rid of the permanent subtitles? They've just told me Amazon got to the south Pole first !
good job
OK, this video starts out with the earth moving at 66,000 mph (18 miles/sec.) That is just how fast the earth moves around the sun. But the sun is moving around the Milky Way Galaxy at close to 500,000 mph (139 miles/sec!) And the Milky Way Galaxy is moving around our local group consisting of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way, and Triangulum galaxy, plus a bunch of little globular clusters at nearly 1,000,000 mph (278 miles/sec!) This goes on and on. These numbers are insignificant in comparison to the speed of light. How fast we are actually traveling through space is unknown and possibly unknowable. Maybe because we measure speed in relation to a "fixed" reference. Speed is relative.
I bet you ruined Monty Python's Galaxy Song too.
*These numbers are insignificant in comparison to the speed of light*
"The ability to destroy a planet, or even a whole system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force."
Started in science, but then got weird. Some reason an eighteen fifty or seventeen fifty starting point was used ?
........It's NOT what they can PROVE......it's what we've been TOLD........The Globe.
Given it a rest, go bleat somewhere else.
