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. 😜
Please "reef"er to the comment below for an example of the polite way to ask for something you'd like to see them create for us... your idea sounds interesting, I'd definitely watch it. Faced with both comments though,,, which would you choose?
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 :)
@@CH4OffsetsLLCRight? This is why I love TH-cam sometimes. When are you ever going to come across a seaweed biologist nerding out about what they love otherwise?
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.
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]"
@@Epupifythat all her main vids aren't an hour long. Really tho, the hosts of eons have always been super passionate and fun. Even a bit goofy. But they truly care about what they're talking about, and they're smart, so they present it very well.
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!
Wouldn't hard mode the Cretaceous? Basically Jurassic Park with more mighty dinosaurs. What about the current mass extinction event? The begin of the anthropocene event ist set around 1945 with the first atomic bombs, so you will find yourselve in the carnage of World War II.
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.
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.
It is so strange how consistently the problem is “Yeah, there are plants! None you could eat though!” I never thought the biggest problem with time travel would be scurvy.
This is one of the first videos I’d watched of the series and I just can’t help but wonder if you go even further back like “would you be able to survive the Hadean?” And the answer to that would simply be “no.”
@@magnolia1253 Thanks. I wrote that before they mentioned predators in the water, and it seemed at first like there wasn't much out there. Of course, that was _after_ a mass extinction, too, so the evolutionary pressure might have been different before that, huh? Anyway, thanks for the reply.
@@magnolia1253 Nah. I _still_ haven't watched the whole thing. :) Most of it, yes, but I've just got too many other videos to watch. And as I understand it, commenting helps the channel.
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.
I'm loving these podcasts!! 😄 keep up the awesome work! Love hearing your guys' interesting conversations & that you're all getting way more screen time 😊
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 ✍️
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.
This is a time travel hypothetical. You are dropped into the Ordivician with just the clothes on your back and one item. You won't have all of human technology to lean on.
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 😅
Just thought somebody should mention that modern examples of a group may not be representative of Ordovician members of the group. Specifically, modern mosses, etc., are very likely toxic as an adaption to predation. Since nothing in the Ordovician lived on land to eat the mosses, nor had ever eaten them, there is no reason for them to have already evolved toxicity.
@@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.
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.
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. 😅
Let’s say you got transported back in time with none of our harmful modern bacteria, I’d say you could cut your self pretty egregiously and or even eat the wild life raw due to how advanced your body is in comparison to the bacteria
I'm glad you brought up the gamma rays! I think I remember hearing that one theory for one of the mass extinctions around that time was a super nova that was too close.
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
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.
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.
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.
“You paddle ou-“ EXCUSE ME. EZCUSE ME MA’AM. You lost me. ARE WE SWIMMING? Am I? Am I swimming? Am I walking? Do I have water shoes? Are we in some kind of small BOAT? I’m TERRIFIED now… I was with you until we started “paddling.” Dear glob. 😱
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.
We’re publishing the Eons podcast right here on TH-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?

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.
Sponges are filter feeders. They cleaned the water, so other living things sought refuge among the cleaner waters around the sponge colonies.
I’m ngl i think the sponges were underutilized a bit here, i’d be cutting off pieces & drying them out for tools, kindling, etc.
Tools=limited to scrubbers. Burnable, definitely, although slow burn and low heat.
@oldgothfrog how much do REALLY enjoy Halloween?
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.
Hmm must have tasted like rusty dirt.

Go, sponges!! I always admired sponges. They're so weird, and they can survive so much.

Speaking of plant food, surely there is kelp or kelp-like algae, by now, even more so than in the Cambrian? That is edible and very healthy.
People eat a lot of macro seaweeds, for that matter. I expect there was some growing at least within the sponge forests?
Love these videos. I always think about these scenarios.
This video took me on an incredible journey through time and space 🚀⏳ Absolutely fascinating!
Could you dry a sponge and use it to make fire?
You first need a fuel source to dry the sponge in a furnace.

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.
50 min?! That makes me happy lol
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.

The difficulty of making anything would be a pain. No sticks, for instance.
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.
@ilokivi that's what I was figuring, so theirs a possibility that the plant forms didn't develop toxins yet.
A big sea scorpion ought to be pretty analogous to a lobster or a crab, from a culinary perspective.
The giant cephalopods are worth hunting for the shells alone. Those could be incredibly useful.
