History of the Earth My favorites would be all of it, and I'm in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. I guess I will be a little more excited when it reaches the Paleozoic Era. And I hope it takes a few episodes to get to the Permian Period, because this Old-life era is the least covered of all in other productions I've seen. I trust that I will like it all, as I am already. Thanks again.

I for one remember those early days of earth with great fondness. It wasn't nearly as bad as the narrator makes it out to be. Sure, there were the occasional asteroid bombardment on the way to school, and the lack of breathable air or sustenance of any kind may not sound that cushy to you modern kids, but we didn't need luxuries like that. We had gneiss rocks to play with and a giant, nightmare inducing moon to look at at night. Those were simpler times..

Beautifully done. The Acasta Gneiss might truly be the oldest rock to be found. It does include zircons, which themselves had to be formed prior to that. Mind this: in Australia there are zircons that reach back probably 4.4 billion years, much much older. For zircons to form, the presence of some water in liquid form is needed. This means that at 4.4 billion years ago, the surface temperature on Earth had already dropped below the boiling point of water. It may have gone up and down a few times (late heavy bombardment etc) but new scientific evidence shows that the real hell lasted for maybe only the first 100 to 130 million years. Then again: your movie skills, narrating and feel for creating a good documentary are top.

Not really. Venus has a very thick atmosphere. What I can gather is that it was once covered by an ocean very much like ours, but that it boiled off and escaped while volcanism replaced the lighter gases in the atmosphere like oxygen due to the lack of a mag field, spin and tides. So basically it is as if our oceans moved up into the sky and got replaced with sulphur and CO2, while our old atmosphere vented into outer space. Then we almost stopped spinning, before the moon left us and took the kids. Fortunately nothing like that has ever happened here, nor is it particularly likely to.

@Mister Myxlplyx Yes it is. Religion has slowed the progress of humanity because people think some magical floating man created everything and to be content with life today. Politics who are almost alway religious want to force that into their education systems, which inevitably lower the acceptance of science over the easy way of answering tough questions by saying that god made everything and thats just how it is. Over 2 trillion galaxies exist in the known universe, each with hundreds of billions, some even trillions of stars. But people out there think that some magic deity sits around one small and average star that has a life bearing planet and judges someone for the most insignificant things. Its absurd and it absolutely does affect every person on the Earth. And not in a positive way. Go around looking on these types of videos and you will find people who deny all scientific facts, claim the earth is 6,000 years old and that the first humans were a single male and female who just so happened to form with enough intelligence to speak a complex language. These people also believe that their god created light before stars and other celestial bodies. That he had human and dinosaurs roaming around the same planet, at the same time. Denying facts over fiction is not a problem to be placed in the backburner.

This would be an A++ docu if you remastered or recorded the audio. I'm no audio engineer, but my only complaint would be that you have a very nice voice and accent that appeals to Americans, but the tinny and echoey recording isn't doing any favors

So glad I stumbled upon this channel while randomly searching up documentaries on earth’s history. Your use of literary, elevated language and metaphor mixed with facts truly captures the grand scope of these events and it’s something a lot of science documentaries could stand to use more of. We humans do love a good narrative. Or at least I do :)

Excellent and succint video. I'm a geologist and I'm really impressed with how detailed you made this whilst still making it accessible to everyone. Excellent focus on the sources of evidence for these discoveries. I'm looking forward to the Archean - because I love the Outer Hebrides and Greenland. Maybe after this ambitious project is over you could focus on some topics in cosmochemistry (solar system formation) or do some accesible videos on ore deposits and isotope geochemistry?

@@alexanderplatypus3664 That's not really the subject of geology, but in any case, some studies have claimed that without our moon (formed by the collision with Thea), the earth would have had a rotation and days perhaps too short to allow for complex intelligent life.

All I can think about is that small stone. You could hold it in your hand, and it would, for most people, look like any other stone you ever picked up. But this little thing? Its 4 Billion years old. A time scale unfathomable for a human. Your life will have gone by, long and fulfilled, but to this stone it would not even be a second, a moment. Passed in the blink of an eye. It survived everything. From the movements of tectonic plates, the beginning of live, the emergence of complex life, the dinosaurs, the ice ages (all of them). This stone came into being pretty much at the time the literal ground came into being. This stone is literally older than (most) dirt.

f... hell ! literally! i wish someone would make an animated history illustrating this so that we could wind and rewind and slow down and accelerate at will, with the years on a sort of dahsboard, with, why not, gas concentration, speed of rotation, length of day, gas concentrations, temperature, pH of water, etc etc ! that would be EPIC !! And ultimately, this would go on for the next 4 billion years too ! with the appearance of life, with scenarios of course. See it as a sort of "God's Eye View" of things, with the capacity to zoom in and out, in to the mantle and center of the earth, and out to space ! Oh, how I LONG for such a tool !!!

Great video. If you are an enthusiast please visit the Kirkland Lake, Ontario area. From Matachewan to Larder Lake. So many archaeon rocks. Rock cut's have gneiss, lamprophyres, copper, nickel, iron (on the railway bridge cutting about 5km from KL), fyi on the north west and east about 100M from the bridge is a spectacular outcrop of chalcopyrite. I'm not there anymore, an avid prospector at the time. Oldest rock 2.9bn, after the right turnoff at Hwy 11, rock on the left before the bridge, about 2km. Volcanic bombs, (geodes) are in many rock beds, try left anywhere around Lake Sesekinika.

I was curious about what formed this rock/gneiss, now I know. Although, I found out that the age of the Sierra Nevada range is much, much younger than 4 billion years old. This us great work, thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to the series and will share. Mahalo! 💜🌎

I just found your channel and I'm deeply impressed by your scholarship. In the video about the Late Heavy Bombardment, you offer just a tease regarding Jupiter. I have read that theory suggests the LHB was initiated when Jupiter along with Saturn migrated inwards towards the Sun and that Uranus and Neptune swapped orbits. This, according to the theory, was enough to perturb objects in the Kuiper Belt, sending those objects spiralling into the inner System to impact Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. However, what caused Jupiter to begin its wandering? Perhaps a close approach by another star? I have subscribed to learn more.

Excellent channel, one can see passion and dedication! The only remark that I have is the actual vocabulary used. For non native speakers it might be too complicated to understand all of the nuances, I usually understand 95% of content of the videos with this subject, but with you guys I am down to 80%. Won't stopping me from watching though. The improvement you could make is adding the captions - currently there are only auto generated ones, but they are not perfect. Looking forward to new video.

It's nearly impossible to find science films for the general public that are not dumbed down; this is a primary asset & attraction of your films. Lichen is pronounced like: 'lie - ken'. Thanks so very much for your very hard work and your valuable time!
