Hi folks, hope you are enjoying the video. Obviously a big reverential shout out to a major inspiration for the channel and this video in particular - Carl Sagan and his pale blue dot.
Hey, could you explore how this Gaia effect might keep life and temperature going after the 1 billion year mark when most scientists think the sun's brightening will stop the carbon cycle and lead to the death of all multicellular life? That is the rough consensus, and it's been covered on other channels, but to see an alternative where the Gaia feedback loops are stronger than the consensus thinks would be nice. Or even speculation on what could change about the Gaia feedback loop to alter the equation, well. other than humans moving the earth or star lifting the heavy elements and helium out of the sun. It is speculative, but exploring the possibilities would be fascinating.

This is by far the best explanation of the Gaia Hypothesis I’ve ever seen. Far too often it’s so oversimplified or made so vague that it starts to come across as some sort of nonsense about the physical rock itself being a living being or something.
Not so silly once one Realizes the underlying Essence of everything... which IS Consciousness/Awareness ITSELF. From the POV of the rock... not much is happening.. ie: rocks are not too bright... however, from the pov of THAT Vibrating Energy which is choosing to manifest AS that rock... THAT holds all knowledge within it. So... it all depends on which perspective one is able to hold... that of the rock OR THAT of the One who percieves the rock. Everything, at its sub atomic level.. (string theory) is exactly the same... scintillating energy... so, the question begs... what makes some energy manifest as a rock, while other energy ( which is exactly the same) manifests as marshmallow fluff? The ANSWER IS... The non-local/non-physical MIND. It is the Mind, (limited Awareness/Consciousness) which takes pure scintillating, formless Consciousness and gives THAT Form. To put it in other terms... The Mind is the creative tool of "God" / Consciousness / One's own Higher SELF... which is the SAME in ALL. THAT / Awareness which looks out through YOUR eyes is the SAME Awareness which looks out of ALL eyes... and all minds are connected in the Unified Field of Consciousness. To say... we are ALL the *THAT* of I AM THAT. The limiting ego/mind creates the appearence of OTHER, of DIFFERENCE , when from the highest perspective nothing is different from anything else. All arises out of formless Consciousness and merges back into Consciousness. That ONE Infinite Awareness plays a game of Cosmic Hide & Seek with IT's own SELF, in order to have all these various experiences... via the mind, but eventually each mind Awakens to it's TRUE and Infinite Nature. We finally Realize that the one who is seeking IS The ONE Being sought. Ps Religions have not a clue as to the true nature of THAT, all pervasive Consciousness because they are mind dependent and "God" hides from the thinking, experiential mind. "God" / THAT / pure Consciousness IS and always gas been, the ONLY ONE here... playing all these roles, while knowing better than to JUDGE any of it. One could say... we are all the *Dream of God* ... and of course Dream and Dreamer are one and the same. Just something to consider ... or not. The wise always seek the necessary proof since blind faith is foolish and often dangerous. I simply suggest that the necessary proof IS possible if one is willing to seek within.

I just found this and without looking at the subs I immediately assumed this was a multi million sub channel. Turns out it's not. The quality of this content is gold-like. Interesting yet realistic, educational yet not boring. I love it, you've earned a sub.
The concept of Gaia as a living cosmic organism is expertly explained towards the end. Leila Battison, who wrote and researched this episode, have given her writing a poetic turn, and for my part, was mesmerised from beginning to end. Definitely worth rewatching!
I know a lot of people find the idea of alien life somewhat alarming. Maybe even frightening. I sympathise. Personally, though? I find the notion of an exoplanet with an ocean of water that's *completely sterile* to be far more terrifying. Kilometers and kilometers of water as deep as anything we have here, with nothing but non-living chemistry. The isolation. Aliens might be kind of spooky, but I find the notion of us being entirely alone in this universe to be far more disturbing.
Something to consider... Although within this so called Physical Universe.. we are IT... still, we are far from alone since we are part of a far greater Omniverse which, though not vibrating at a "physical" level has an Infinite, more expansive "Subtle" reality to it... this Subtle realm vibrates at a much higher level of Conscious energy than our "physical" realm. If our limited senses were re-calibrated to line up with these far more subtle vibrations we would immediately become AWARE of all sorts of subtle BEings.. who are very much AWARE of us. Once our own limited 'physical' senses are finally able to expand into these far more expansive subtle realms of Consciousness.. we become AWARE of all sorts of BEings.. many far more intelligent than ourselves. Might I suggest reading Robert Monroe's FAR JOURNEYS. Note: Although Monroe did not yet Recognize that everything here not only HAS Awareness but IS Awareness / Consciousness ITSELF... still, one has to start somewhere... and Monroe took an excellent first step toward understanding the underlying REALITY of this and ALL Universes.
I'll never be able to get over that pale blue dot picture. Such insignificant yet precious mote of dust. Such a delicate balance created that hue, and I fear it won't last for much longer with how we treated the planet today. Thank you! This channel is one hell of a gem.

Life is much more resilient than we give it credit for. Even in our most realistic dire estimations of climate change. Humanity would still survive. And even if it didn’t, life wouldn’t be eradicated. Our planet would certainly be different, but it wouldn’t be devoid of it. Why we should prevent climate change in the worst extent is because it is the avoidable death of tens if not hundreds of millions of human beings.

And was about to watch 3 at max, but your editing, voice and well... everything was so interesting the 20 minutes felt like 3 at the end(quite ironic). Nevertheless i’m looking forward to watching more of your content :)
@Richard Head would be interesting especially since we haven’t had any mass extinctions in forever. Wouldn’t be unnatural just uncommon from our perspective
probably the same as it was before us, since we've only been around for about 200,000 years, whereas life has been going on for billions more. that's 3,500,000,000 approximately. it would have ups and downs with its climate, extinction events, all spaced out between millions of years. climate change globally is certainly nothing the planet hasn't seen before, but we represent a very sudden and alarming change. before, climate would change over thousands and thousands of years, perhaps millions. but since the industrial era, 200 or so years ago, we've caused a change so powerful and so sudden that it cannot be compared to anything before our time. this should really be a wake up call for some people, but no.
This channel is great. Narrated in such a succinct and informative way. Most documentaries on major channels get ideas across in such a dirge like way or in fact say nothing, relying on (admittedly good) wildlife camera work. This one gets the big ideas across. Thanks.
My kids and I love your channel, it's their bedtime stories 🥰 falling asleep listening to the most beautiful telling of our planets story is a privilege 🙏
Wonderful video! Great work! Beautiful quality. I think it's interesting to see the jaw dropping variety of geological and atmospheric variety on the bodies in our own solar system which seem to be constantly confounding and surprising scientists who can't quite explain or predict what they find, like, volcanism on the Jovian moons being a shock is an example out of dozens and dozens that come to mind. I personally think the "Rare Earth Theory" is closest to being right, and I think it's fascinating to speculate on what would be here on Earth in absence of life. However, I think ultimately it's like trying to predict what the weather will be on September 5th, in the year 5,000,000. There are so many tiny variables that seem to create Olympian size effects a few millennia or million years out that no one would have ever guessed.... but it's really fun to think about. You point out many things I never even would have thought of. I do have to take some exception to your presentation of the Gaia Hypothesis, as you do so without presenting the many criticisms of it and problems with it, but still.... very nice work. Thanks for this!

I just found your channel!! happy to see such good documentaries, clear, concise and understandable. Keep on with them, we need good quality material to be seen!!!
Lovelock was an amazing person. He pretty much invented the modern microwave which he used to revive mice from cryostasis. Tom Scott has a great video on it including an interview with Lovelock!
I should finish watching before commenting but. What you say about the likelyhood of life getting started needs to be contrasted with the fact that on this one sample we have, life got going just as soon as the rocks were colded off enough to allow it to exist.
This whole channel reminds me of the great Swedish writer Peter Nilson. His 1991 book (Stjärnvägar) contains SO much of what today is called cuttting edge science, it's amazing. You are sort of making a part of his book alive, and for that I'm very grateful.
This video makes me think much more about the current state of life. How did we come from simple organisms that paved the way to our current environment. Without we couldn’t survive. How are we affecting our current environment and how will it change future evolution of life?
I was thinking: What if all life (including humans) didnt exist. There would be no "me" or "I" or any names, no people, no anaimals, no life. We wouldnt see 'darkness' or 'nothing' because we wouldnt exist. Its difficult to think about with how smart and how much humans rely on thinking, logic, and generally humans/themselves to think about things. The planets would just be there; floating around in the emptyness of space. Now we wouldnt exist so all the science, math, physics, names of everything wouldnt exist either so the plantes would just be there, if there is no life there is no one to have the need to think about their world. All these concepts we have would be nom-existant too. Just something to think about.
I've been thinking about how or what we would've been had there not been any life on earth. And I think, we are "here" cause we exist. Had there not been life, and had we not existed. The very concept of us would've never come to being. Not a 100% sure where I'm going with this, but as far as I can think, what would've happened to us had our conscious not existed at all, is either just void, or something incomprehensible to us as of yet
This comment is basically "if there was no water, things wouldn't be wet" Like nothing deep here. No shit if humans didn't exist there wouldn't be anyone to think over the universe and how it works and all our human-made concepts wouldn't exist. But if we didn't exist there would certainly still be other intelligent life elsewhere out in the universe. And science and physics would still exist whether we did or not, because those are fundamental to the universe itself. Even if nobody is there to notice or describe it, doesn't stop it from existing in the first place. And it's not like us being here has revealed everything about how the universe works, still there are mysteries even as those undiscovered rules governing the universe still keep on going even as we are unaware as to how they all function.
Second video I've watched on this channel and it was every bit as enjoyable, interesting, and thought-provoking as the first. Thank you, HotE people. I'm in - subbed.
Why do scientists think that there can only be life on planets that are similar to earth? I mean just look at our oceans.... there are many different fishes that can live in complete darkness and immense pressure and cold. Who says that there isn’t a species out there that can live under harsher circumstances than humans can?
I’ve always wondered if there are beings out there that we are unable to view with human eyes.🤔I definitely agree with your last sentence. There could be beings that aren’t anything like us that could live in complete different conditions.
A point regarding that though we don't know how different life can get. We do know we are here though so it is much more promising to look for something similar to our circumstances because we at least have 1 provable example of complex life (all multi celled organisms)
The problem with extremophiles is that they specialised to live in harsh conditions. Its likely early life couldn't live in extremely harsh temperatures or acidic liquids.
Life exists at the deepest part of the oceans. Bacteria, tardigrades and other life is able to survive in space. Life can survive a wide range of pressure.
I am mostly home-bound and need to experience continuous-learning and current-events (on-demand) to feel connected. Your channel provides an easily accessible overview of earth chemistry, plant/animal biology, geology, meteorology and the eco-sphere. This vault of knowledge gives me joy, in that I can anticipate new human, scientific learning, as part of my self-designed flexible daily, learning-curriculum. What can we the viewers do to help you promote the channel? Thank you.
We think that life was created more than once seperately. So it's more likely that their are specific chemical requirements and reactions for life to exist. With the speculation that it happened multiple times on the same planet. It makes sense to assume when the requirements are there, life will arise. But until we can pin down those requirements. It will be impossible to tell how easy or hard life is to form from non-living matter.
Your idea that life absorbs CO2 preventing the planet from getting too hot from vulcanism (and vulcanism moderating things at the other extreme) is true in a sense, but hardly in some kind of benign super-organism way. 250 million years ago, vulcanism got way out of hand, starting a process that ended with life being almost completely wiped out on land and in the oceans. It took tens of millions of years for life to come back from that, only to be knocked back again in the mid-Triassic and again at the end of the Triassic, when about three-quarters of all life was wiped out. Similarly, while vulcanism is thought to have eventually warmed the planet out of its 'snowball Earth' condition, it took about ten million years. There have been around 25 extinction events, including five major ones that we know of. If Gaia is some kind of super-organism intent on maintaining life on Earth, it is indistinguishable from something that is utterly indifferent to whether life prevails or not.
The idea of being completely alone in our vast universe is dreadful. What do all these galaxies exist for if not to be experienced and explored? Why are we the anomaly?

I have been watching your videos for years now, I just want to say thank you.! I must agree with the comment below regarding awards for these documentaries. Well done! I so look forward to your videos when they come out.
I ponder all the time that we can go as small as possible and oppositely we can go very far away... There seems to be infinite detail in each direction and it makes you wonder if we are really tiny inside a huge thing? Size almost becomes warped by perspective. In that voyager photo, our entire existence of the entire earth with all it's layers of detail is nothing but a dot from far away that is impossible to comprehend how detailed the earth is unless we already know because we're lucky enough to have the perspective of being on this planet... I can't help but think about other distant planets and moons but also molecules and DNA and atom's. Small or big and far away... Size and detail seems endless, anything is possible, our universe is amazingly stunning.
If life can be found in the deepest oceans, under kilometres of water, at enormous pressure, with no sunlight or oxygen, just black smokers, then how can life NOT be found elsewhere? It just won’t be like us.
This is one of my favourite things to think about. Organisms sustained entirely by chemical food chains, shielded from a dangerous parent star's radiance not by a reliable atmosphere, but cradled safely in the depths of their geologically-warmed ocean home. No matter what size of life we eventually find, the discovery itself is in all likelihood an inevitability.
Well, life could have started in the most perfect pace in the universe, and adapted to nearby areas. Life didn't appear everywhere on earth, it appeared once, in one place, then adapted out in every direction. Adaption of life is impressive, but says nothing about how easy it was to arise in the first place. Life exists in harsh places because it had time to adapt and evolve to them. For life to form in a harsh environment is infinitely more of a struggle then it simply adapting to survive in it.
The fact people look for life in human habitable planets when who knows if other life lives in non human conditions. Like if other creatures or species entered our world it doesn’t mean they won’t die it’s like us going to the moon.
side note - Venus' higher temperature is mostly from the density of the atmosphere (90 times that of earth). *fun experiment* compress the air of the earth to around 1320 PSI and measure the heat. some is from the additional CO2 and some from it being closer to the sun.
At the end in the Gaia theory segment you miss out on another big CO2 up and downregulation cycle: warming oceans emit CO2 because the solubility of a gas goes down when the temperature goes up but then when there is tons of CO2 in the atmosphere the radiative heat losses at the upper layers of atmosphere compensate for the high CO2 and it makes the temperatures plummet (Ice Age events usually in the last 400,000 years). But lower temperatures makes the oceans solute more CO2 again. And apart from all that there's also a lot of CO2 being absorbed by virgin rocks being pushed up by tectonic forces, such as that the Himalayas when they started forming 40-50 million years ago eventually got the amount of CO2 to 180 ppm, under 150 ppm CO2 is lethal for plants that utilize C3-photosynthesis which is around 95% of all plants.
Speaking of the carbon cycle: Much larger volumes of carbon go into the long carbon cycle: Calcium carbonate being deposited on the sea floor as shells of living things, being subducted, and spewed out by volcanoes millions of years later. This cycle is dependent on subduction, thus tektonic activity. Chill the mantle enough to stop that, and conditions change drastically.

And was about to watch 3 at max, but your editing, voice and well... everything was so interesting the 20 minutes felt like 3 at the end(quite ironic). Nevertheless i’m looking forward to watching more of your content :)
same, i looked expecting 2 million subs... only 40k! :)
Channels like this make TH-cam a better place. Thank you!
I really hope I live to see another planet that’s just an alternate earth, everything with the same concept but also completely different.
I also hope that humans don't go and live on it.
@Richard Head would be interesting especially since we haven’t had any mass extinctions in forever. Wouldn’t be unnatural just uncommon from our perspective
@@SpookStatik Same, all they'll do is destroy, that's what Humans do DISCOVER AND DESTROY.
@@freeezframes I don’t know if you’ve noticed but animals only destroy and not discover 😂
@@lilpd6207 dude, we're in one of the biggest mass extinction right now
I want to see what it would have been like without HUMANS
a better place
We haven’t been around for very long
probably the same as it was before us, since we've only been around for about 200,000 years, whereas life has been going on for billions more. that's 3,500,000,000 approximately. it would have ups and downs with its climate, extinction events, all spaced out between millions of years.
climate change globally is certainly nothing the planet hasn't seen before, but we represent a very sudden and alarming change. before, climate would change over thousands and thousands of years, perhaps millions. but since the industrial era, 200 or so years ago, we've caused a change so powerful and so sudden that it cannot be compared to anything before our time.
this should really be a wake up call for some people, but no.
no human no video
very very primitive
Your voice is so calm and relaxing. It opens up my mind to what you're teaching.
Everything about nature, planets, outer space, galaxy, and mysteries of the world fascinates me.
This channel is great. Narrated in such a succinct and informative way. Most documentaries on major channels get ideas across in such a dirge like way or in fact say nothing, relying on (admittedly good) wildlife camera work. This one gets the big ideas across. Thanks.
This is now my favorite channel on TH-cam, absolutely brilliant work.
My kids and I love your channel, it's their bedtime stories 🥰 falling asleep listening to the most beautiful telling of our planets story is a privilege 🙏
The quality of this channel is just insane
Wonderful video! Great work! Beautiful quality. I think it's interesting to see the jaw dropping variety of geological and atmospheric variety on the bodies in our own solar system which seem to be constantly confounding and surprising scientists who can't quite explain or predict what they find, like, volcanism on the Jovian moons being a shock is an example out of dozens and dozens that come to mind. I personally think the "Rare Earth Theory" is closest to being right, and I think it's fascinating to speculate on what would be here on Earth in absence of life. However, I think ultimately it's like trying to predict what the weather will be on September 5th, in the year 5,000,000. There are so many tiny variables that seem to create Olympian size effects a few millennia or million years out that no one would have ever guessed.... but it's really fun to think about. You point out many things I never even would have thought of. I do have to take some exception to your presentation of the Gaia Hypothesis, as you do so without presenting the many criticisms of it and problems with it, but still.... very nice work. Thanks for this!
In other words. Despite our seemingly unique abilities, we are apart of nature, not above it
its clear how much effort you put into these !! thank you so much, you're my favourite documentary channel and i really appreciate your work
This whole channel is way too underrated
Top grade content. This channel deserves a lot more recognition. You will get it soon guys :)
The voice is sooo relaxing and satisfying to listen to.
I’ve been looking forward to a new episode for weeks, once again not disappointed. An amazing series.
(@7.20) - without cyanobacteria, wouldn't water have been green due to iron content and low \ no oxygenation?

This was beautifully done. I loved the music in the background. The narration was perfect! Loved it! New sub here!!
I love this episode! It can be easy to overlook how much the planet we know is the way it is because of life.
I have seen all but 8 of your videos and each an every one has been a Gem!! Tonight I will see the rest....
I have always been fascinated with the Earth and how it came to be as we know it today. I feel you are presenting the best possible understanding of what science can provide. I may be wrong, of course, but I don't think so.... It's a Gut feeling of which has been proven correct much more often than not.
I want to thank you for the many hours of knowledge and entertainment. I am in my mid 70's and still strive to learn all I can about those things of interest to me.
Please accept my highest gratitude to you and your staff ....

If life didn't exist on earth, then there'd be no one wishing life wasn't a thing
pain
come on homie:(
Yeah no shit lmao
It would have been (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐□-□ (⌐□_□) much cooler.
you’re depressed
I just found your channel!! happy to see such good documentaries, clear, concise and understandable. Keep on with them, we need good quality material to be seen!!!
Lovelock was an amazing person. He pretty much invented the modern microwave which he used to revive mice from cryostasis. Tom Scott has a great video on it including an interview with Lovelock!
The microwave was invented to defrost mice?!
I just subscribed and this channel deserves subs, much more subs than it has. All the best on your journey to 1 million and hopefully millions more.
I should finish watching before commenting but.
What you say about the likelyhood of life getting started needs to be contrasted with the fact that on this one sample we have, life got going just as soon as the rocks were colded off enough to allow it to exist.
This whole channel reminds me of the great Swedish writer Peter Nilson. His 1991 book (Stjärnvägar) contains SO much of what today is called cuttting edge science, it's amazing. You are sort of making a part of his book alive, and for that I'm very grateful.
Amazing. I marvel at your documentaries every single time. Thank you.
Well, this was the best documentary about the topic so far.
This video makes me think much more about the current state of life. How did we come from simple organisms that paved the way to our current environment. Without we couldn’t survive. How are we affecting our current environment and how will it change future evolution of life?
I’m very glad when you mention life on Earth you often don’t just list big animals like so many people and videos do.
Keep 'em coming! Always insightful and informative. Great work!
And remember to promote this show on Twitter. I know I am! 😉
Praise you, I love these videos, just came upon your videos and I’ve been obsessed
I was thinking: What if all life (including humans) didnt exist. There would be no "me" or "I" or any names, no people, no anaimals, no life. We wouldnt see 'darkness' or 'nothing' because we wouldnt exist. Its difficult to think about with how smart and how much humans rely on thinking, logic, and generally humans/themselves to think about things. The planets would just be there; floating around in the emptyness of space. Now we wouldnt exist so all the science, math, physics, names of everything wouldnt exist either so the plantes would just be there, if there is no life there is no one to have the need to think about their world. All these concepts we have would be nom-existant too.
Just something to think about.
I've been thinking about how or what we would've been had there not been any life on earth. And I think, we are "here" cause we exist. Had there not been life, and had we not existed. The very concept of us would've never come to being. Not a 100% sure where I'm going with this, but as far as I can think, what would've happened to us had our conscious not existed at all, is either just void, or something incomprehensible to us as of yet
best comment I've ever read
This comment is basically "if there was no water, things wouldn't be wet" Like nothing deep here. No shit if humans didn't exist there wouldn't be anyone to think over the universe and how it works and all our human-made concepts wouldn't exist. But if we didn't exist there would certainly still be other intelligent life elsewhere out in the universe.
And science and physics would still exist whether we did or not, because those are fundamental to the universe itself. Even if nobody is there to notice or describe it, doesn't stop it from existing in the first place. And it's not like us being here has revealed everything about how the universe works, still there are mysteries even as those undiscovered rules governing the universe still keep on going even as we are unaware as to how they all function.
A mind is a terrible thing.
@@rusmiller816 why u tryna be negative, man
Second video I've watched on this channel and it was every bit as enjoyable, interesting, and thought-provoking as the first. Thank you, HotE people. I'm in - subbed.
This is some seriously fantastic stuff. Maybe I've missed it, but is there a list of upcoming/planned videos? Thanks and keep up the tremendous work!
Oh my goodness, a channel with no bs that cuts straight to the matter at hand??? Subscribed! ❤️
Why do scientists think that there can only be life on planets that are similar to earth? I mean just look at our oceans.... there are many different fishes that can live in complete darkness and immense pressure and cold. Who says that there isn’t a species out there that can live under harsher circumstances than humans can?
Pretty sure they don’t loli
I’ve always wondered if there are beings out there that we are unable to view with human eyes.🤔I definitely agree with your last sentence. There could be beings that aren’t anything like us that could live in complete different conditions.
A point regarding that though we don't know how different life can get. We do know we are here though so it is much more promising to look for something similar to our circumstances because we at least have 1 provable example of complex life (all multi celled organisms)
@@orangesporanges1504 If there is water on planets, there are lives. No doubt, but living differently.
The problem with extremophiles is that they specialised to live in harsh conditions. Its likely early life couldn't live in extremely harsh temperatures or acidic liquids.
Life exists at the deepest part of the oceans. Bacteria, tardigrades and other life is able to survive in space. Life can survive a wide range of pressure.
Here before they reach 1 million subs! ♥️😍
Didn't expect to like this, but thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Keep up the good work.
Enjoyed this video. Keep it coming. I love science.
I am mostly home-bound and need to experience continuous-learning and current-events (on-demand) to feel connected. Your channel provides an easily accessible overview of earth chemistry, plant/animal biology, geology, meteorology and the eco-sphere. This vault of knowledge gives me joy, in that I can anticipate new human, scientific learning, as part of my self-designed flexible daily, learning-curriculum. What can we the viewers do to help you promote the channel? Thank you.
Just keep watching, thanks for the support! Lots more stuff coming this year. (And a new channel!)
We think that life was created more than once seperately. So it's more likely that their are specific chemical requirements and reactions for life to exist. With the speculation that it happened multiple times on the same planet. It makes sense to assume when the requirements are there, life will arise. But until we can pin down those requirements. It will be impossible to tell how easy or hard life is to form from non-living matter.
Thank you Gaia for giving us a home worthy for life and youtube channels like this one!
Your idea that life absorbs CO2 preventing the planet from getting too hot from vulcanism (and vulcanism moderating things at the other extreme) is true in a sense, but hardly in some kind of benign super-organism way. 250 million years ago, vulcanism got way out of hand, starting a process that ended with life being almost completely wiped out on land and in the oceans.
It took tens of millions of years for life to come back from that, only to be knocked back again in the mid-Triassic and again at the end of the Triassic, when about three-quarters of all life was wiped out. Similarly, while vulcanism is thought to have eventually warmed the planet out of its 'snowball Earth' condition, it took about ten million years.
There have been around 25 extinction events, including five major ones that we know of. If Gaia is some kind of super-organism intent on maintaining life on Earth, it is indistinguishable from something that is utterly indifferent to whether life prevails or not.
Really Good. Worth the time.
An awesome video. Appreciate your work 🙏
The idea of being completely alone in our vast universe is dreadful. What do all these galaxies exist for if not to be experienced and explored? Why are we the anomaly?
instead of paying charli for making tiktoks, how about we award someone actually useful?
Someones jealous
@@harvindam5647 Someone has Brain, dumb.
@@freeezframes Someones mad lmao 💀
@@harvindam5647 Yeah we are so jealous of a teen girl who moves her arms around and gets millions of views for it.
I mean there are people who are helping the planet but we don't care about them, we should only care about Charli because she's a girl and we're all simps.
P.s If you got the sarcasm from this comment then good for you :)
Entertainment is an industry to be respected, and Charli uses her platform to speak out against many social issues. Stop putting down teenage girls for things they can’t control
Love the channel and content. Great job. Won't be surprised when major network picks you up.
Another great video. Thank You for all the hard work and explanation
Really love your work.

Bye👍👍
I have been watching your videos for years now, I just want to say thank you.! I must agree with the comment below regarding awards for these documentaries.
Well done! I so look forward to your videos when they come out.
Imagen seeing Jupiter in person while your in orbit
That will be the most amazing thing ever
I ponder all the time that we can go as small as possible and oppositely we can go very far away... There seems to be infinite detail in each direction and it makes you wonder if we are really tiny inside a huge thing? Size almost becomes warped by perspective. In that voyager photo, our entire existence of the entire earth with all it's layers of detail is nothing but a dot from far away that is impossible to comprehend how detailed the earth is unless we already know because we're lucky enough to have the perspective of being on this planet... I can't help but think about other distant planets and moons but also molecules and DNA and atom's. Small or big and far away... Size and detail seems endless, anything is possible, our universe is amazingly stunning.
If life can be found in the deepest oceans, under kilometres of water, at enormous pressure, with no sunlight or oxygen, just black smokers, then how can life NOT be found elsewhere? It just won’t be like us.
This is one of my favourite things to think about. Organisms sustained entirely by chemical food chains, shielded from a dangerous parent star's radiance not by a reliable atmosphere, but cradled safely in the depths of their geologically-warmed ocean home. No matter what size of life we eventually find, the discovery itself is in all likelihood an inevitability.
Well, life could have started in the most perfect pace in the universe, and adapted to nearby areas. Life didn't appear everywhere on earth, it appeared once, in one place, then adapted out in every direction. Adaption of life is impressive, but says nothing about how easy it was to arise in the first place. Life exists in harsh places because it had time to adapt and evolve to them. For life to form in a harsh environment is infinitely more of a struggle then it simply adapting to survive in it.
Life seems to be hard to get rid off when it pops up.
But it also seems to be hard for it to pop up at all
Iree mon. We be all watchin dis video in my classroom at school in my contry of Jamaica mon. Greetins from Kingston.
Outstanding video. Thank you.
I really love the way he narrate its so soothing and relaxing.......
All of your channels are brilliant
I loved this documentary, thank you very much!
Be prepared, for, a, dramatic pause, or, two.

Wow not even clouds would be there? This video is great got a like and a new subscriber
This is like I just went onto the science channel on tv lol
Epic work with this, I really enjoyed it being the science nerd I am :p
That was a wonderful video, splendid work and quality!
The fact people look for life in human habitable planets when who knows if other life lives in non human conditions. Like if other creatures or species entered our world it doesn’t mean they won’t die it’s like us going to the moon.
that’s not the reason we look for life, we look for it like that because this is the only way we know it can form
this video gave me major goosebumps. great content!
Wow amazing
side note - Venus' higher temperature is mostly from the density of the atmosphere (90 times that of earth). *fun experiment* compress the air of the earth to around 1320 PSI and measure the heat. some is from the additional CO2 and some from it being closer to the sun.
Ahh, Sim Earth was a great game. Now I know where Daisy World came from.
RIP Voyager 1 may you find your way home someday
Exelent work 👍, keep it comming please 😊
Superbly interesting, produced and narrated videos. Definitely among the best on TH-cam. New subscriber.
You are back
At the end in the Gaia theory segment you miss out on another big CO2 up and downregulation cycle: warming oceans emit CO2 because the solubility of a gas goes down when the temperature goes up but then when there is tons of CO2 in the atmosphere the radiative heat losses at the upper layers of atmosphere compensate for the high CO2 and it makes the temperatures plummet (Ice Age events usually in the last 400,000 years). But lower temperatures makes the oceans solute more CO2 again.
And apart from all that there's also a lot of CO2 being absorbed by virgin rocks being pushed up by tectonic forces, such as that the Himalayas when they started forming 40-50 million years ago eventually got the amount of CO2 to 180 ppm, under 150 ppm CO2 is lethal for plants that utilize C3-photosynthesis which is around 95% of all plants.
Excellent question. Wonderful discussion. Glad we're here. 😀 but we're screwing it up.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for making it enjoyable with only 1 commercial 🙌🏾
My God , Eureka I found a gem in TH-cam
Hey that was pretty good ☺️
Well worth the wait.
Can't wait for the next one !👍
This video is brilliant!
Speaking of the carbon cycle: Much larger volumes of carbon go into the long carbon cycle: Calcium carbonate being deposited on the sea floor as shells of living things, being subducted, and spewed out by volcanoes millions of years later. This cycle is dependent on subduction, thus tektonic activity. Chill the mantle enough to stop that, and conditions change drastically.
Who is this guy?? I just stumbled on to this channel, only 31k subs? UNDERRATED! I think I'll sub NOW, great job sir keep it up!
He's "just" a voice actor. There's a whole team behind this channel.
The intro is engaging and a masterpiece in its own right.
