No matter how neutral we try to be, we always end up using language suggesting that life was somehow _trying_ to come into being - as if _will_ enters the picture, but there can be no "will" without mind or consciousness. Hence, repeatedly, circumstances worked to allow life to begin, then morph, endure something impossible, then morph again, until at last a super creature appeared, the cherry on top of the earth cake - homo sapien s. At least we seem to think we're god's magnum opus. This elusive chemical spark that gave birth to life is perhaps the only thing that keeps me believing in a creator, but not worshipping said Creator, b/c he made His babies and walked out, such the Dead Beat that he must be - brilliant scientists though - an emotionless savant of a god.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 , I prefer to enjoy marvels rather than quibble. This video series is unbelievably beautiful, from the depth of knowledge to the stories to the photography to the wonderful narration. I can't think of a better series for teaching this scientific subject that I have ever seen. Likewise, I prefer to enjoy all the life around me. Life is rich and ancient, how ancient we don't even know. Is there hard evidence of a creator? No. Is there hard evidence of the non-existence of a creator that lurks somewhere, somewhen in the multiverse? No, there isn't. You declare "the only thing that keeps me believing in a creator, but not worshipping said Creator, b/c he made His babies and walked out, such the Dead Beat that he must be." What is your scientifically demonstrable evidence that the creator hasn't been watching over us and working with this planet literally for billions of years? It doesn't exist, just as there currently is no scientifically accepted evidence of life on other worlds. Declare that there is definitely no life anywhere else in the universe, and people will consider you illogical and almost certainly a nut job. Declare that there definitely is no loving creator that continues to guide this world and people think you're "edgy." I submit that both declarations are equally unscientific.
These videos are so comfy. Sometimes you just want to put on some science and chill, it’s no fun if the video is 10 minutes and you gotta be picking something else soon. 42 minutes of high quality content and you can actually relax.
it is called Black sea from Ottoman customs, as they identified the cardinal directions with colors, and black stands for north. Westerners adopted Ottoman naming for the Red (south) sea as well. Great work, thank you so much!
The ancient Chinese also associated directions with colour: East blue/green, South red, West white and North black/dark. I do wonder if that's something inherited from the Chinese or if we're looking at concurrent culture evolution.
@@vulcanfeline yes most ancient cultures have associations with colors and cardinal directions. Red/white/black are the most common and blue/green shows up as well.
Please come to our lord and saviour Jesus Christ and please read the Bible and by the way I don’t mean this in any bad way so don’t worry please and by the way do not believe in theses false “religions” for theses are just distractions and deceptions from the enemy and merely try to distract you from our lord and saviour Jesus Christ so don’t believe in theses false “religions” please.
A billion years ago is about 4.3 Galactic years. That amount of time always breaks my brain. We are such a “day and years” species, it's unfathomable to me how researchers can even begin to comprehend the enormous temporal distance. Great vid!
The Galactic Year is fascinating. This video: ua-cam.com/video/kl7EyqjkE0g/v-deo.html discusses how the galactic arms in our galaxy might have great effects on our solar system and earth, every few hundred million years.
A galactic year varies for some reason sometime 220 millions year sometimes 280 million years i believe its 250 millon years ago because its easier and in the middle of the range of galactic year and divides without decimals in 1,000
36:40 I understood that reference! nice one. the quality of the video is excellent as usual for your channel. I am always happy to see a new one in my inbox.
I had to pause and appreciate the reference. Also I was just on bill’s channel yesterday. Hmm despite the fact that I have been subscribed to this channel for a while maybe that reference and the associated comments about it and me watching Bill’s new videos yesterday triggered the algorithm to put this near the top off my home page today.
Ive been in love with this channel for months. Its got a non intrusive and short intro thats so rare. Often times most channels their intro feels 5x louder. Then the writing is just stellar. Hearing shit like "...the sun was still a deadly lazer." fucking cracks me up, every episode is captivating and theres that bit of humor mixed in too. Amazing work, thanks!
I remember when both of the channels started. Came right out of the gate with high quality, epic content. I believe I have watched every one twice, and many of them I have seen more than once. Thank you for making these videos.
I'm not quite ready to watch this yet, it's a bed time thing, but I can't tell you how excited I am that it's droped 😃 this and history of the universe are by far and away my favourite channels!
@@HissoriRenda Same here. I'll probably fall asleep to this off and on for the next few months. Then one day I'll actually watch it and be surprised by how much of this I already know 🤣🤣🤣
imagine this guy being your spouse, how often you would be having a conversation with him, and then waking up with only a memory of a half of a conversation... It would be rough
This guy is good. He takes a bunch of disparate facts and weaves them into a single, coherent tome highlighting the complexity of life and how it came to be what it is. Synergy at its finest.....
@@VoicesofthePastHi, and thank you! A question for you, please: As our Earth once had shorter days, I'm curious whether Earth's revolution speed also was different in the past... and btw with faster rotation, there would be more days in a year, either way 🙂 But I often ponder our counting of billions of years, it's almost like the description of sums of money from the distant past, how it's necessary to adjust the numbers in order to have it relatable in terms of today's standards of monetary value. I'd really like to know whether Earth's revolution rate has changed over the course of our tiny but very long history of existence 🙂
Im a prophet and I just clicked cause the thumbnail mentioned Eden. It is curious to see how sinners and deceivers try to explain things out of the Bible. The supernatural is real, Eden is not of this earth. Eden is more like Dr Who's booth but without the footprint
E tbm em psicologia há Prison em Ghost pra Trump e os Demais Mentais vai ser bom . pra eles vamos ver como se sai . tem muito que não acredita mais real tbm isso na América. 😌😆❤️#
I'm really impressed with the narrative progression of this series. Ms. Battison did an excellent job with the script for this episode. Thanks for all your work to the whole team.
One of my favorite things about this channel and history of the universe is the story at the beginning that is written so well that I forget for a moment what I was originally watching until the Segway happens, and then gets woven into the main topic later. I swear these ~45 minutes always pass too quick and leave me yearning for more. Keep fueling our curiosity!
so masterduck, i hesitate to point this out due to this being a two year old comment, but the word is spelled 'segue', not Segway (which is a two wheeled novelty vehicle and brings to mind the narrator doppler-shifting by on a segway narrating all the while, most amusingly.) english spelling is entirely bullshit so honestly it doesn't ultimately matter. It's an ungodly amalgamation of a half dozen languages and enjoys playing fast and loose with its own rules in the most pedantic fashion,and is constantly evolving and changing in ways that make older pedants extremely butthurt. it is chaos and emotion squished into a bowl of duct tape spaghetti so elaborate that command of it requires acknowledgement of how utterly absurd it is, and yet enables exquisite tapestries to be woven of its syllabic symphonies. Shit's cooked, mate.
Watching these videos brings out in me the little boy who loved dinosaurs! These videos have a way of bringing together so much of what I've learned in countless biology, chemistry, geology, etc classes over the years all with the poetry and calming sense of wonder of an old Jacques Cousteau or David Attenborough film. You guys are inspiring future generations with this work!
I remember smoking a joint for the first time in years and coming across the “what was earth like 4 billion years ago” back when it was first posted. Oh my god i hadn’t had such distinct and amazing visuals in my head… like ever. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I love watching your videos late at night in a dark room… phone screen off, and just drifting into “that” space. Thanks for clearing and easing my ruthless mind. I don’t have many things that help me anymore. Music doesn’t help anymore. I lost my bestfriend last year (22 years old.) My endless thoughts have drove me to suicide 4x in 2021. I’m not here for sympathy, or to say that you saved me… but i’m just here to say thank you for these fascinating videos. Thanks for turning the volume down on my brain and for turning sleepless nights into wild dreams and peaceful nights. Keep these videos coming! Please 💕
brilliantly and masterfully scripted. as a sparsely educated layman i've had and continue to have many critical links in my understanding of our planet revealed and explained here. very grateful to all behind this exceptional channel.
I genuinely don't understand how this channel doesn't have more subscribers. The overall quality of each subsequent video goes from strength to strength, truly superb. The absolute marvel that this content is available to so many people for free cannot be understated. Well done, History of the Earth, this channel is a fucking gem
For some reason, you are assuming that most people even think about reality or nature. Most do not. They think about how some burger is going to taste or what Brittney's new song is going to be.
I've been watching this every night since it was posted. It's fascinating how the little pieces (Gruinard Island, copper deposit at Isle Royal, shipwreck at the Black Sea) tie in with the main topic. As usual, superb writing and A++ delivery. It's everything I need to have fun and relax at the end of a long day. Thank you very much ❤
Without doubt, this channel is as good as any BBC or professionally produced commercial content. The narration alone sets it apart from its rivals. An extraordinary piece of work, of which the channel owner should be immensely proud. Thank you so much.
These videos have quickly made this channel one of my favorites to watch out for. The quality of the editing, the scripts, the narration, the delivery of information - perfect.
Thank you for a year of simply extraordinary History of the Earth documentaries. I think I can speak for others in the hope that your carry on with these wonderfully produced pieces.
Again; a work of art. Wonderful storytelling skills mixed with great filmed editing and science. You’re setting the mark here. These each take an incredible amount of time, effort and retakes, I’m sure. Many thanks
Another fascinating and immaculate video from you all, the talent of everyone, from the writers, to the editors, to the narrator, everything is simply perfect and makes for my favorite content on this site. Thank you all again for such an amazing video!
Appreciate the text and the voice, the images depict the content in an amazing rich graphic way, and is dotted with modern findings, history, discoveries, that substantiate the historical content, teaches us more about modern science and scientists, and add comfort and warmth to the whole story. I am amazed, could not imagine a better accomplished show. Thank you very much to all the team involved.
Excellent, just finished watching this. I had been waiting for more content and excited for this since the posting saying new content. I have cast this to the main T.V as soon as I could. This like all your content deserves a larger screen a cup of tea and some biscuits...
James Webb is now in space and doing its thing! I can’t wait for exploratory ships to go to Enceladus and Europa to find out how complex life may be on them!
Those first Webb photos are mind boggling. Apparently we’re looking over 13 billion years back in time. And I agree…it’ll be fascinating when we start exploring Europa’s ocean for life.
@@HughJorgan1 the last picture of the farthest galaxy was created only a couple hundred million years after the Big Bang! How rad! Now if we could somehow prove the multiple universe theory 100% that would be out of this world
This explanation of just how and where “life” came from, is simply the very best explanation I’ve ever seen. The writing is super and narrated by a gentleman of wonderful abilities was a gift. Thanks so much. Dave in Phoenix Arizona
Lake Superior Agates were formed by volcanic activity estimated at about 1.1 billion years ago. Holding one in my hand watching this. This thing traveled quite some time to reach me. Cool!!!
Excellent work as expected by the entire crew. Might I suggest a video detailing all known Cratons and their present locations with the history of each from creation?
Every time I watch a video from your channels I am short of crying because of how beautiful and impressive they are. The story progression, attention to details and amount of information includes is unbelievable. I would have liked to support you somehow but can't find any patreon link or such in your description.
this whole serious will be interesting to watch from start to finish when it's done. I've watched each one and have learned so much. Thank you to everyone involved.
This content is what makes the Internet a great place to be. What mastery over storytelling! Along with the emotion that slowly envelops us, the journey makes us float through the ever-fleeting passage of Time. This is incredibly beautiful! Thank you so much, sir, for such a high quality post! Happy to be alive and privileged to know who we are and how we have been. 26:54 "Somewhere, on this miserable planet, there is, a glimmer, of hope"
All hail the Blue Ridge Mountains! Thank you 😀 As a photographer, I always stop and put my camera down every time I run into a part of open rock that is curved and jagged from many many years of change. Every time it is awe inspiring, and reminds me of gratitude for how much the planet has suffered to be as beautiful as it is today.
These videos are phenomenal! The combination of landmasses and the corresponding development of organisms included together is so hard to come by. Simply Amazing!
I just discovered, and am loving, this channel. I would love to see your stuff in HDR. It doesn't even have to be 4K, just that HDR would look amazing.
Yall make me so interested in the universe 😍 First you make me fall for math (changed my major to math partially because of HOTU) and now you were able to keep me awake *and interested* in biology. Love your guys' work so much ❤
May I just state how absolutely thankful I am for this channel❤️ Getting diagnosed with bpd and adhd is really fucking me up. It’s like the confirmation that there has always been something wrong with me now I’m just so, shaken and doubting my whole identity. But one thing that brings me back to reality, is the fact i used my lack of identity and hyper activity to learn… and I grew. I’m someone who knows how to adapt and evolve. And I always loved videos like these because THEY ARE JUST AMAZING AND LOVELY AND EDUCATIONAL- sorry. It’s like food for my constantly wondering brain! But yeah I’m just like deeply thankful for everyone apart of this channel and others❤️❤️❤️
Oh god, it's funny (not ha-ha funny, but like "Huh, interesting") that you mention this right now, because _I_ have always absolutely loved learning in general and _I_ just recently got a diagnosis about myself that I hated! I mean, I would've been thrilled that this show finally got a new episode anyway, but...weird coincidence!
On the contrary, do not doubt yourself. You are special, your situation enables you to see and evaluate everything in a fresh way. Not like the ordinary people, and you are doing it right by using science to view/understand the world. Well done!
This was pretty interesting especially the section on the shipwrecks that are remarkably well preserved by the anaerobic nature of the Black Sea's depths. I recall seeing, quite a few years ago, a National Geographic documentary featuring Dr. Robert Ballard of Titanic fame as he discovered one of these shipwrecks and marveled at its state of preservation. Perhaps it won't be possible to answer this question here but have any of these vessels been brought to the surface for preservation and/or further study?
TED-Ed made a video about this around 3 months ago, check it out. The ships are too fragile to be brought up. And exposing them to oxygen in the surface can't be beneficial, since it's the anoxic condition that preserves them in the first place. We can only take samples and leave them where they are. Such a fascinating study.
Is this the same thing that resulted in the telluric iron deposit in Greenland? You mentioned minerals dividing up and flowing towards the surface, and I know that elemental iron is extremely rare, IIRC that one deposit is the only telluric iron deposit known, with the vast majority being mineralized rust from the Great Oxygenation.
These produce in me a feeling of such profound beauty I'm compelled to comment. I really appreciated how new the evidence presented in this video was. I'd heard of Bangiomorpha. But Bicellum brasieri was unfamiliar to me. Thank you for the insight.
It is strange to imagine a version of Earth so different from the one we know today. No fish, no reptiles, no birds, no mammals, no complex life at all. Just thousands of tiny stepping stones that enable endosymbiosis.
I was a space guy and thought the Earth was boring to learn about. Since watching these videos, I can’t get enough of it. Perfect narration and beautiful video. Thank you! Anyone else impressed with History of the Earth?
I was in the UP. They have tons of copper mines with tours there. I went up to Houghton in the Keeweenaw peninsula up in Lake Superior. Lots of history.

Eh, biology is what liven them up.
😂
This comment is underappreciated
Fantastic, if only this production was available in my youth certainly my life would have taken a different route, thank you so very much.
This is the most articulate video narration with the most adjectives I have ever had the privledge to observe and listen to! Well done!
Impeccable work that rises from geology to spirituality. Written, edited and scored with great sensitivity. David is superb.
I got unreasonably happy when he said “The sun is a deadly laser”
Without doubt, this channel is as good as any BBC or professionally produced commercial content. The narration alone sets it apart from its rivals. An extraordinary piece of work, of which the channel owner should be immensely proud. Thank you so much.
These videos have quickly made this channel one of my favorites to watch out for. The quality of the editing, the scripts, the narration, the delivery of information - perfect.
E Claro 😌 tudo e possível au que crer .no Cristo Jesus do Calvário e na sua Ressurreição. 🤗😇👼🤴#
So glad you mentioned the Midcontinental Rift System. It certainly helped Lake Superior become what it is.
Thank you for a year of simply extraordinary History of the Earth documentaries. I think I can speak for others in the hope that your carry on with these wonderfully produced pieces.
Just found your channel and I love it. Now I'll have to go back to the beginning to watch them all. Thank you for taking the time to make these.
The way these videos are told is just…. masterful storytelling
Again; a work of art. Wonderful storytelling skills mixed with great filmed editing and science. You’re setting the mark here. These each take an incredible amount of time, effort and retakes, I’m sure. Many thanks
Thank you great content! The narration is spot on and the editing is beautiful!
Bro, your voice is so calming, I literally fall asleep to these, and even when I don't I still love the sheer volume of info you tell. Thank you!
All these complex and billions of years and i’m here to comment on this brief history of our world, i feel so humbled to exists and share my opinion
The best all-rounded channel ever!. Don't ever stop making these videos, please.
Another fascinating and immaculate video from you all, the talent of everyone, from the writers, to the editors, to the narrator, everything is simply perfect and makes for my favorite content on this site. Thank you all again for such an amazing video!
Appreciate the text and the voice, the images depict the content in an amazing rich graphic way, and is dotted with modern findings, history, discoveries, that substantiate the historical content, teaches us more about modern science and scientists, and add comfort and warmth to the whole story. I am amazed, could not imagine a better accomplished show. Thank you very much to all the team involved.
Absolutely brilliant research and narration. Subscribed and binge-watching.
The history of our planet is so fascinating to me, it puts into perspective how brief and recent our existence is compared to the age of our World.
Once again, beautifully written and presented, thank you
Isle Royale and Lake Superior are simply amazing. Im glad to see it get love here
"the sun is still a deadly lazer"
listening to this while driving and had a chuckle from that.
Excellent, just finished watching this. I had been waiting for more content and excited for this since the posting saying new content. I have cast this to the main T.V as soon as I could. This like all your content deserves a larger screen a cup of tea and some biscuits...
James Webb is now in space and doing its thing! I can’t wait for exploratory ships to go to Enceladus and Europa to find out how complex life may be on them!
Those first Webb photos are mind boggling. Apparently we’re looking over 13 billion years back in time. And I agree…it’ll be fascinating when we start exploring Europa’s ocean for life.
@@HughJorgan1 the last picture of the farthest galaxy was created only a couple hundred million years after the Big Bang! How rad! Now if we could somehow prove the multiple universe theory 100% that would be out of this world
22:01 "It first had to pass through a very ugly, greasy, and stinky adolescence".
I know that feeling, Earth. I know that feeling.
I couldn't help but snicker when I first heard him say that... 😆 Sounds like the Earth had a billion year long case of bad gas... 😝
This explanation of just how and where “life” came from, is simply the very best explanation I’ve ever seen. The writing is super and narrated by a gentleman of wonderful abilities was a gift. Thanks so much. Dave in Phoenix Arizona
Lake Superior Agates were formed by volcanic activity estimated at about 1.1 billion years ago. Holding one in my hand watching this. This thing traveled quite some time to reach me. Cool!!!
Excellent work as expected by the entire crew.
Might I suggest a video detailing all known Cratons and their present locations with the history of each from creation?
That would be fabulous. I second that!
Every time I watch a video from your channels I am short of crying because of how beautiful and impressive they are. The story progression, attention to details and amount of information includes is unbelievable. I would have liked to support you somehow but can't find any patreon link or such in your description.
The quality of these uploads are absolutely outstanding, I love the channel 👌
this whole serious will be interesting to watch from start to finish when it's done. I've watched each one and have learned so much. Thank you to everyone involved.
This content is what makes the Internet a great place to be. What mastery over storytelling! Along with the emotion that slowly envelops us, the journey makes us float through the ever-fleeting passage of Time. This is incredibly beautiful! Thank you so much, sir, for such a high quality post! Happy to be alive and privileged to know who we are and how we have been.
26:54 "Somewhere, on this miserable planet, there is, a glimmer, of hope"
36:41 loved the Bill Wurtz reference
Really enjoyed this video. If you wrote it and/or edited it, brilliant job!
All hail the Blue Ridge Mountains! Thank you 😀
As a photographer, I always stop and put my camera down every time I run into a part of open rock that is curved and jagged from many many years of change. Every time it is awe inspiring, and reminds me of gratitude for how much the planet has suffered to be as beautiful as it is today.
These videos are phenomenal! The combination of landmasses and the corresponding development of organisms included together is so hard to come by. Simply Amazing!
These are the only videos on UA-cam that I can fall asleep to. So calming yet so interesting
Always excellent, and written with a touch of poetry.
Thank you.
By far one of the best documentaries I have ever watched
Would it be possible for this video to get subtitles? It’s very interesting and I want everyone to be able to watch it.
I literally only watch stuff like this to fall asleep, but it is really good quality
This is really well made, sometimes I forget I am still on UA-cam when I see Videos like this one.
And then you read the comments?
I just found your channel but I'm already in love. This and the "Fall of Civilizations Podcast" are awesome for long car rides.
These are so very well-made that I come back to watch them every so often, simply for enjoyment. Thank you for these videos! ❤️❤️
I just discovered, and am loving, this channel. I would love to see your stuff in HDR. It doesn't even have to be 4K, just that HDR would look amazing.
Yall make me so interested in the universe 😍 First you make me fall for math (changed my major to math partially because of HOTU) and now you were able to keep me awake *and interested* in biology. Love your guys' work so much ❤
May I just state how absolutely thankful I am for this channel❤️
Getting diagnosed with bpd and adhd is really fucking me up. It’s like the confirmation that there has always been something wrong with me now I’m just so, shaken and doubting my whole identity.
But one thing that brings me back to reality, is the fact i used my lack of identity and hyper activity to learn… and I grew. I’m someone who knows how to adapt and evolve. And I always loved videos like these because THEY ARE JUST AMAZING AND LOVELY AND EDUCATIONAL- sorry. It’s like food for my constantly wondering brain! But yeah I’m just like deeply thankful for everyone apart of this channel and others❤️❤️❤️
Oh god, it's funny (not ha-ha funny, but like "Huh, interesting") that you mention this right now, because _I_ have always absolutely loved learning in general and _I_ just recently got a diagnosis about myself that I hated! I mean, I would've been thrilled that this show finally got a new episode anyway, but...weird coincidence!
@@robinchesterfield42 yes dude exactlyyyy
On the contrary, do not doubt yourself. You are special, your situation enables you to see and evaluate everything in a fresh way. Not like the ordinary people, and you are doing it right by using science to view/understand the world. Well done!
4:35 I remember this, it was the final episode of Star Trek Next Gen.
Q shows Picard the moment life begins on Earth then screws it up. True story.
That was fascinating!
I learned so much about a period of Earth's history I knew little about -- thank you 🙏
This is channel along with kurzgesagt in a nutshell are the greatest youtube channels I have come across.
This was pretty interesting especially the section on the shipwrecks that are remarkably well preserved by the anaerobic nature of the Black Sea's depths.
I recall seeing, quite a few years ago, a National Geographic documentary featuring Dr. Robert Ballard of Titanic fame as he discovered one of these shipwrecks and marveled at its state of preservation.
Perhaps it won't be possible to answer this question here but have any of these vessels been brought to the surface for preservation and/or further study?
TED-Ed made a video about this around 3 months ago, check it out. The ships are too fragile to be brought up. And exposing them to oxygen in the surface can't be beneficial, since it's the anoxic condition that preserves them in the first place. We can only take samples and leave them where they are. Such a fascinating study.
‘THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER’
I really really hope that was a Bill Wurtz reference!
excellent video, as usual, only wish I could have used it in my school essay earlier
I want to listen to this guy like, forever.
Thanks to my favorite channel for providing another brilliant video
Is this the same thing that resulted in the telluric iron deposit in Greenland? You mentioned minerals dividing up and flowing towards the surface, and I know that elemental iron is extremely rare, IIRC that one deposit is the only telluric iron deposit known, with the vast majority being mineralized rust from the Great Oxygenation.
36:40 "The sun is a deadly laser. Not anymore theres a blanket"
These produce in me a feeling of such profound beauty I'm compelled to comment.
I really appreciated how new the evidence presented in this video was.
I'd heard of Bangiomorpha. But Bicellum brasieri was unfamiliar to me.
Thank you for the insight.
Really like the clarity and the pace of the commentary. Very intelligently produced.
It is strange to imagine a version of Earth so different from the one we know today. No fish, no reptiles, no birds, no mammals, no complex life at all. Just thousands of tiny stepping stones that enable endosymbiosis.
Not even microbes wow
The visuals!! Best video on your channel so far; absolutely stunning work!!
I was a space guy and thought the Earth was boring to learn about. Since watching these videos, I can’t get enough of it. Perfect narration and beautiful video. Thank you! Anyone else impressed with History of the Earth?
phenomenal. Thanks so much!!
Absolutely awesome job...... love this channel.
I was in the UP. They have tons of copper mines with tours there. I went up to Houghton in the Keeweenaw peninsula up in Lake Superior. Lots of history.
Love your stories! They provide a glimpse into the amazing history we are all a consequence of. Thanks :-)
"It first had to pass through a very ugly, greasy, and stinky adolescence." The way the narrator said "stinky" made me laugh
