it's art.... (to sum up ur words)😅 but for me personally i feel, it's like a vinyl record album.. like how it feels better to not skip tracks and just let it unfold 😅... also after watching this video, i could sort of realise how the earth kind of squeezed itself so that we can pop out 🫠🙃
What amazes me the most is that every single atom of our own body has experienced all this and has been now combined into a mass that is able to watch and appreciate this form of art.
@@cloudboy08That is simply not true. The individual constituents of the constituents of your atoms of your body -- subatomic particles were part of the Big Bang. But there were no atoms around during the BB, according to the accepted Big Bang models. Atoms only started to appear a few hundred thousand years after the BB. And no, at best only some of your atoms are from that era either, specifically hydrogen and helium. Truth to be told, a lot of atoms in your body were formed millions (or even billions) of years after the BB, being the products of stars doing fusion and Neutron stars doing the things Neutron stars do. Geez, your comment almost sounds like as if you aren't really interested in science...
If I were a teacher, I'd devote an entire class period to this. Have students watch without any grade being in the question, with the option to take notes. This is really awesome.
I am a middle school science teacher, and let me tell you: I’d love to use this but there is no way my students would not immediately be bored and zone out or start talking. They don’t have the attention span for this.
With all the (deserved) praise the animation team gets for this, I feel the need to specifically give a shout out to the composers for this one. The music is a seamless journey as well. Kudos!
I can't believe Kurzgesagt just dropped this masterpiece, no announcement, no trailer or anything, just dropped this massive project that took almost 5 years for free and for anyone to view, well done Kuzgesagt, please keep doing this, please never stop.

Watched this in one go with my six year old son. He intently watched the whole thing with lots of questions, and we talked about everything that happened. Such a cool video, will definitely give this several rewatches.

Sadly these days academics are wrong more than they’re right because all of them have let their Left wing politics influence their scholastic work. That’s why they still refuse to acknowledge global warming is a myth despite all available evidence proving so beyond any doubt. It’s because they have a Left wing agenda.
To everyone at Kurszgesagt; The Animators, voice actors, sound engineers, writers, researchers and more i can't think of, thanks for all the content you're pouring out to us for free, it means a lot for many of us to be able to have this kind of content to relax to, learn and enjoy. you're the golden egg of TH-cam
I like the idea, but logistically speaking it might cause a bottleneck because it's so long. One huge, extremely long picture from start to finish might work better, and everyone could view it at their own pace. If it ends up too long to fit in one room it could be threaded throughout all the exhibits, I'd love to see that in any natural history museum.
@@alexrogan6563 I don't think they mean as a main exhibit, just something that plays in the background for people to stop and look at while they browse the main attractions
1-I'd pay him real good to have that in my museum if I had one - for all the work he must've put in this - and 2-I stan the whole exhibit hallway idea, but 45 minutes later I haven't seen the dinosaurs extinction yet, so that would be a hecking long hallway
I just spent one hour of my allotted time on this planet watching this video - an hour that in the vast scale of things (like this video shows) is absolutely nothing. But it was still an hour of my life - and it's easily one of the very best hours I've ever spent online. Totally worth it, in every conceivable way. Excellent work from Kurzgesagt, as always.
This is such a masterpiece. I'm so glad I found this video. I'd love to spend more Saturday evenings like this just enjoying music and your nice animations! You do a good job of giving us perspective on how long time it has taken, but even still, it's difficult to grasp.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the music? Not only did they make an amazing animation for over an hour, they also composed good music for it. Kurzgesagt are such champions
I know you intended us to watch this passively in the background while we do other things, but the amazing animation and the drive to find any easter eggs has me glued to the screen
I know that, by this standard, I'm hundreds of billions of years late to the party, but this is truly incredible and one of the greatest TH-cam videos of all time. Education meets real art. The soundtrack is a jam, the animation is so smooth, the narration is clean and seamlessly fits in, and the effort to coordinate all of this and create this masterpiece is nothing less than Herculean. MASSIVE respect to the Kurzgesagt team. I've been a major fan for the better part of a decade, but you've solidified yourselves as certified LEGENDS with this one. Dropping this video for free was probably lunacy, but thank you so much for that!
Respect to not only the animators for animating an entire 1 hour video, but also to everyone else who went into the making of this video. It is a masterpiece.
1 hour of high quality animation and music, for free, with barely any mid-roll ads... really shows the passion behind this channel and its goal of bringing knowledge to everyone. Thank you kurzgesagt ❤️
While this is not be discredited as true, you also have to remember that they are partially funded like an education broadcasting network by Germany. Educational broadcasts usually have sparse ads
This is one of the cases where I wish they had a "love" button. I literally shed tears over things like this. It's a loveletter to amateur science geeks and really changes your knowledge and perception of Earth's early history. As far as I know, no one has ever attempted to create something like this, and it's an absolute work of art.
@@Treesinthesummer I would say his vid was primarily comedy with cool knowledge as a bonus, here it's the opposite. And this video looks amazing, of course. Both have their place.
I wanna give a shout out specifically to the AUDIO CREW: specifically Thomas Veith and Flabian Glaser!!! I see a bunch of people praising the animation crew, and they totally deserve it, but OMG! The full 1+ hour of music and sound design that flowed so naturally and felt so progressively fitting for each time period…astounding! As a music producer and someone who loves sound design (and studied film in uni), I very much appreciate how much work went into what y’all did AND how important your work was to the editing process that gave us this wonderful work of art! Seriously, the music evolved and was seriously engaging for me as you ultimately shifted tempo, played with genres, played with time signatures, had so many variations on a theme that were constantly fresh, and built climax after climax but still only incrementally building those climaxes over an hour… Well done. Very well done. (Audio crews rare get the recognition they deserve on film/animation projects, yet they are SO fundamental to the art, so I just had to focus on them)
I wonder how much the fact(?) that 50% of brain processing is generally dedicated to the visual cortex plays on people mostly noticing the animation crew vs audio crew
Having channels really do something outside of the norm once in a while, not just for the sake of views, is incredibly wonderful to see. Great on you KG
The animations and music are amazing, this is the best earth timeline video ive ever seen. I keep watching it over and over, would love a deep dive video on each period!
This is the best educational you tube video I've ever seen. Maybe the best youtube video full stop. im going to share this with as many people as possible
Being an animator myself i have immense respect for the animation team.. Ik the pain behind every minute pop in the video... Huge huge props to the team.. Big hug for you to make this for people to be inspired for no cost
Huge respect for Kurzgesagt for giving us what is essentially an animated documentary for free. Can’t imagine how many hours went into this. You guys are insane 🐐🐐🐐
It's youtube it has ads, just like traditional televsion programs have constant advertisment in between paid to show them. If you don't have ads you paid for premium.
This is a master piece. I already knew a lot about the history of Earth. But this video truly puts it into perspective how short we exist. I cried in the end of the video because it gives a really special feeling. I definitely recommend watching this in one sitting without skipping parts. It really gives one of the best ideas of time out of all videos on TH-cam.
I would love to see all of human history condensed into a similar span of time. I feel like it would be an interesting contrast to see all of what fit into that last tenth of a second or so.
Not many creators can pull this off. To make 3 million people watch one hour of mostly silent video in 3 days. Amazing job. I’m already watching it a second time! And yes, the music is otherworldly 👍🏼
I mean, a LOT of people clicked off in the first minute, as these videos always have horrible retention time, but a lot of people definitely stuck around, I'm sure.
The music alone is absolutely amazing. I have had this video in my "watch later" for a very long time but it was worth waiting until I could watch it all in one go without any distractions. An almost meditative experience.
A one hour Kurzgesagt video is a bigger treat than all the candy I've gathered in 24 years of experiencing Halloween. Always look forward to these uploads!
I rarely make comments like this, but this is a borderline, cinematic masterpiece. Your music team, or whoever did the music, absolutely phenomenal. Lots of Retrowave type of stuff, really cool drum sets, but aeration is great, the animation is phenomenal… There’s just so much to say. Let alone the information given
i have never seen such a good video! The animating, the beat, and the details is astonishing! Love it! I think this message took me 20 million years to make... Thats a while
It's been said before, but making content like this for free in a time we live in is truly wonderful and good and so so rare. It kind of gives me faith in humanity hah. Kurzgesagt just keeps proving it's the best channel on TH-cam and this might be the best video on here. Such a creative and smart premise, and it looks absolutely beautiful. I am in awe.
@@jex-the-notebook-guy1002 you watched one half-assed video about how the channel is supposedly propaganda and hold it to a gold standard. so many people have disproven that claim but if you want to keep to your own ignorance then feel free to do so but let it be known that you are blindly following a conspiracy with no ground
I think it's still insane how an entire MILLION years is passing every second, like we can understand what that means, the passage of time and all, but a million years is just so unimaginably long that it's almost incomprehensible, just imagining seeing nothing but lava and blinding light for your entire lifetime and the lifetimes of millions of ancestors after you, it's just overwhelming!
It's only overwhelming because our brains can't comprehend anything past that. If we knew what happened before and after, or could understand other dimensions, it wouldn't be so overwhelming. Death is faster than light. Just like that, you're born again, living the same life over and over with slight changes we feel in deja vu. Knowing nothing more leaves us in a loop
For the sake of maintaining accurate linear scaling, for the first 8 minutes, basically nothing happened / changed - and i absolutely love and respect that. It might not work as a general format, but as a once-off special, this is an absolute masterpiece.
I'm coming back to this video for the fourth time. I cry every time. I hope that every person that worked on this video knows that they have created art. And not just pretty art but powerful art that influences the viewer to feel and think so much bigger than our average life. It is educational and philosophical while barely using words. Thank you all so much. Thank you.
Massive shout-out to Thomas Veith and Fabian Glaser for the incredible music throughout this video. It normally loses focus on normal videos, but in this one it shined. Fantastic job!!!
I first watched this video a couple of weeks before an island vacation. It really put into perspective the world we all live in, and when I took a swim my mind would sometimes wander to how a good chunk of Earth's primordial days was defined by ever-changing activity in the oceans... To everyone at Kurzgesagt, thank you so much for working so hard on perfecting this audio-visual masterpiece. :')
The amount of time and effort it must have taken to animate an HOUR long video as beautifully as this is insane. You guys inspire me more with every video
I thought it was a snoozer, lacking in the diversity of animation they use in shorter pieces. The same background going on and on for each phase of planet earth, was like watching a Hanna-Barbera cartoon with the same background running in loops as Quckdraw McGraw galloped along.
@@brindlekintalessame here, I also hate to be guy but 1hr of animation with the same looped background animations and them saying it took about 4 years to make since 2019 was a bit sus given they have one of the best teams in animations on TH-cam
@@brindlekintalesI dare you to find any part of the animation that is looped “liked a Hanna Barbara cartoon”. Bet you can’t because the entire video is hand animated and unique from one second to the next. The point of the video is to show how long the earth was pretty much empty. To put into perspective our tiny slice of existence.
It would be difficult for them to do anything with most of the animations of earths full history at an unchanging pace. Most of it was pretty boring as far as we know, so much of it has to be quite boring (although I don't think any backgrounds actually fully loop, there seems to be some variation). I don't think the visuals are boring cause they were lazy. And it probably took them since 2019 because it's an experimental video and they didn't have much of their full team working on it)@@CylenxswizinSim
Thanks Kurzgesagt, for making this 1 hour animated documentary of our Earth’s History for free. I’ve been following your channel since 2015 and always love the consistent improvement in your videos and the animations. Hope this video gets at least 10 million views in no time!
This video is sooo coooll especially as a background video to study while learning things, the musics and animations are amazing and the voice is so peacefull
Hi!!! I'm a teacher. I showed this video to my students along with a worksheet I made where they had to draw what they saw on the screen. They enjoyed it. The best part was when life became multicellar and time felt as if it moved faster. The students were like "slow it down!!!!" Thank you guys at Kurzgesagt for all you do :)
@@tiagoferro1717 I always tell my students this is what scientists believe and they are free to disagree or research on their own to come to their own conclusions. Also, I did not mention anything about man, just on how life became multicellular rather than just single living cells. Its part of our curriculum, they can go to a private school for one sided beliefs :)
As a Motion Designer and Animator, the fact that this whole video is continuous 1 hour with seamless transitions, it just makes me wanna bow down to Kurzgesagt. This is probably the longest, continuous, highest quality animation done by an independent TH-cam channel.
Woah, whenever there is a long video I usually go off of it within minutes, but somehow you made me stay. I watched the whole thing, and it’s insane how you’ve worked for probably years to make one video and that really paid off. Thanks a lot for making this video, I understand the earths history so much more than I did before watching this
I'll go on record saying that this is one of the greatest TH-cam videos ever made. A perfect balance of education and serenity. The animation is stellar and huge respect to Epic Mountain for the perfect soundtrack!
@@jean-pierresteenberg In the Hadean phase, theia slowly moves to the side, no, I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure that means that they had to fully animate the whole thing
Props to all the animators for the amount of time and effort put into this. I learned a lot from this video and will continue to learn more thanks to Kurgesagt.
I know how MASSIVE projects like this must be, but a version of this for the solar system as a whole, or going through the terraforming stuff for other planets that you've done already would be so amazing. I loved every second of this video.
this is honestly a video i feel EVERYONE should watch in full, no skipping. The fact that lifeforms we can finally SEE didn’t even show up until around 10 minutes from the end is just incredible!! Like so many other comments said, this is such an incredible visual explanation of the whole of our planets history and how new to the planet life actually is. Just an all around awe-inspiring video, we can all read about how old the Earth is, but actually seeing it this way makes it so much easier to grasp the timescale that’s much larger than we can comprehend in our own minds. Fantastic video!!
This certainly wasn't what I expected to be doing with a Friday evening, but here we are...I am thoroughly enjoying a properly scaled timeline of Earth's history. The animation and score are beautiful, so the early times with very little happening and information available are actually still quite beautiful. This is extremely impressive and incredibly fascinating!
For those who read this, they have tiers on their Patreon as low as $2, $5, and $10 per month if you have a little to spare to support videos like this.
You guys just made a masterpiece. It's innovative, educational, entertaining AF, and healthy in a world full of crappy short content. keep it legendary.
am i the only one who finds this video the worst they have ever made? its unwatchably slow with the same animations just looping and very little narration
@@maia2828it was made for a very specific purpose which they mentioned at the beginning of the video, to show how old the earth is. I don’t think they expected people to enjoy this video in the same fashion as their others.
Let it be known i watched this entire video every second of it without skipping or fast-forwarding from start till the end in my office during my working hours.. i risked my employment for this and I am proud.
All of your videos give me some kind of existential crisis. But this.. this takes the cake. You really captured the magnitude and scale of time, and the insignificance of human history with the music and animation. "Don't blink or you might miss all of human history " still gives me goosebumps. Thank you Kurzgesagt.
And this is only the scale of the 4.5 billion years the Earth has been around. Compare that to the roughly 13 billion years the universe has been here and you'd be sitting here for about another 2 hours.
That was a wonderfully chill hour, and one that I'll certainly go back to from time to time. Thank you, everyone at Kurzgesagt, and happy 10th anniversary !
I must say, that this probably the finest documentary about the history of our planet that I’ve ever seen. Over the years, I’ve seen countless documentaries and videos about the history of earth, but never have I seen it so succinctly shown in such an understandable manner. This is definitely one of the greatest TH-cam videos of this decade, and I would absolutely love to see more. Thank you to our little bird friends at Kurzgesagt.
This and some other one i cant remember the name of were absolute top tier vids. Might of been "planet earth" but yeh, super awesome doccos on the history of earth. Its worth noting that other one was a triple A movie with a 40 dollar price tag to see it in cinemas. This ones free!!
This is just astonishing! From a perspective of someone that is currently enrolled in a PhD in Biochemistry, but also loves animation and illustration, you sure put the bar very high. The way you guys communicate science is really impressive and inspiring. I hope you see this and know that your work is inspiring me and, I believe many more people, to know more, learn more and improve. Thank you!
I'll probably come back to this video once in a while for the rest of my life. I've always been incredibly fascinated by geologic time, but I had no idea it would be the map for such a wonderful audiovisual album. This is exactly what atmospheric music is meant to be. Shoutout to the parts for the Eoarchean, Mesoarchean, Rhyacian~Orosirian, and the emotional buildup from the end of the Jurassic to the present day. The Cretaceous scene really makes me feel something. Thanks to the Kurzgesagt team for being amazing as always.
I agree, after the transition to Cretaceus is incredible, the music and visuals are jaw dropping (I loved the purple landscapes). I got really emotional in that part 🥰 I think I will come back here time to time too
What's more insane, is if you consider many of these facts have been known or mentioned over 1000 years ago. *Big Bang and Evolution starting from the water:* "Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were one mass then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" - Quran 21:30 We built the heaven with might, and We are certainly expanding it. - Quran 51:47 How could a desert man 14 hundred years ago know that? You may say it's a guess work or a flock, but there're more impossible hints in that book. *Origins of iron:* “And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind…” - Quran 57:25 The Quran seems to imply that the iron was something “sent down” and not from this earth, an idea not foreign to 20th century science. *Origins of water:* When the comets enter our atmosphere the heat generated on entry vaporizes this ice into the atmosphere. The Christian Bible says that God created water directly on Earth, however the Quran didn't do this mistake instead it says that God sent down water from outer space "In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; *In the water which Allah sent down from the Heavens and brought with it life to Earth after being dead and gave life in it to every kind of land animal;* And in directing the winds; And in the clouds that are enslaved between the Heavens and the Earth; [All these] are Signs for a people who comprehend." - Quran 2:164
@Thesamurai1999 way less than we could have. Even dating back to the Sumerians, we only recently rediscovered things about the universe & space that was already recorded thousands of years ago.
I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in my feed. This is actually insane! Thank you everyone from Kurzgesagt for this absolute masterpiece

@@mopedoutyeah they need like 4.5 billion of those
Isn't it interesting how Kurzgesagt always has one of those camera-headed androids for these videos? Impressive
They should put this up in a science center exhibit to play on repeat all day for everyone to watch.
That's actually a great idea.
I like the idea, but logistically speaking it might cause a bottleneck because it's so long. One huge, extremely long picture from start to finish might work better, and everyone could view it at their own pace. If it ends up too long to fit in one room it could be threaded throughout all the exhibits, I'd love to see that in any natural history museum.
@@alexrogan6563 I don't think they mean as a main exhibit, just something that plays in the background for people to stop and look at while they browse the main attractions
@@alexrogan6563this video can be shorten to 15-30minute
1-I'd pay him real good to have that in my museum if I had one - for all the work he must've put in this - and 2-I stan the whole exhibit hallway idea, but 45 minutes later I haven't seen the dinosaurs extinction yet, so that would be a hecking long hallway
I just spent one hour of my allotted time on this planet watching this video - an hour that in the vast scale of things (like this video shows) is absolutely nothing. But it was still an hour of my life - and it's easily one of the very best hours I've ever spent online. Totally worth it, in every conceivable way. Excellent work from Kurzgesagt, as always.

This is such a masterpiece. I'm so glad I found this video. I'd love to spend more Saturday evenings like this just enjoying music and your nice animations! You do a good job of giving us perspective on how long time it has taken, but even still, it's difficult to grasp.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the music? Not only did they make an amazing animation for over an hour, they also composed good music for it. Kurzgesagt are such champions
SO TRUE!!
I was like "yo! the earth is doing absolute little to nothing (at short term) and the music is going full banger!!"

@@Treesinthesummeryou can’t compare the to man. Sorry
I wanna give a shout out specifically to the AUDIO CREW: specifically Thomas Veith and Flabian Glaser!!!
I see a bunch of people praising the animation crew, and they totally deserve it, but OMG! The full 1+ hour of music and sound design that flowed so naturally and felt so progressively fitting for each time period…astounding! As a music producer and someone who loves sound design (and studied film in uni), I very much appreciate how much work went into what y’all did AND how important your work was to the editing process that gave us this wonderful work of art!
Seriously, the music evolved and was seriously engaging for me as you ultimately shifted tempo, played with genres, played with time signatures, had so many variations on a theme that were constantly fresh, and built climax after climax but still only incrementally building those climaxes over an hour…
Well done. Very well done.
(Audio crews rare get the recognition they deserve on film/animation projects, yet they are SO fundamental to the art, so I just had to focus on them)
Not enough love for the soundtrack ❤
This music is indeed out of this world...
I wonder how much the fact(?) that 50% of brain processing is generally dedicated to the visual cortex plays on people mostly noticing the animation crew vs audio crew
The composers definitely listen to progressive metal.
They did an amazing job, they definitely don't deserve the unsung hero treatment
Having channels really do something outside of the norm once in a while, not just for the sake of views, is incredibly wonderful to see. Great on you KG
The animations and music are amazing, this is the best earth timeline video ive ever seen. I keep watching it over and over, would love a deep dive video on each period!

What I love most: a discussion of all the phases that are normally glossed over. It's a much clearer picture of Earth's development than usual!
For the sake of maintaining accurate linear scaling, for the first 8 minutes, basically nothing happened / changed - and i absolutely love and respect that. It might not work as a general format, but as a once-off special, this is an absolute masterpiece.
It reminds me of when people do accurate representation of distance in the solar system to show you just how truly empty it is in space.

The moon cools down slowly, as well as watch the number and size of the floating rock islands increase slowly as the heat slowly cools down.

The amount of time and effort it must have taken to animate an HOUR long video as beautifully as this is insane. You guys inspire me more with every video

@@brindlekintalesI dare you to find any part of the animation that is looped “liked a Hanna Barbara cartoon”. Bet you can’t because the entire video is hand animated and unique from one second to the next.
The point of the video is to show how long the earth was pretty much empty. To put into perspective our tiny slice of existence.
It would be difficult for them to do anything with most of the animations of earths full history at an unchanging pace. Most of it was pretty boring as far as we know, so much of it has to be quite boring (although I don't think any backgrounds actually fully loop, there seems to be some variation). I don't think the visuals are boring cause they were lazy. And it probably took them since 2019 because it's an experimental video and they didn't have much of their full team working on it)@@CylenxswizinSim

And this is only the scale of the 4.5 billion years the Earth has been around. Compare that to the roughly 13 billion years the universe has been here and you'd be sitting here for about another 2 hours.
Seeing the quaternary period go by so fast... damn
That was a wonderfully chill hour, and one that I'll certainly go back to from time to time. Thank you, everyone at Kurzgesagt, and happy 10th anniversary !
I must say, that this probably the finest documentary about the history of our planet that I’ve ever seen. Over the years, I’ve seen countless documentaries and videos about the history of earth, but never have I seen it so succinctly shown in such an understandable manner. This is definitely one of the greatest TH-cam videos of this decade, and I would absolutely love to see more. Thank you to our little bird friends at Kurzgesagt.
This and some other one i cant remember the name of were absolute top tier vids. Might of been "planet earth" but yeh, super awesome doccos on the history of earth. Its worth noting that other one was a triple A movie with a 40 dollar price tag to see it in cinemas. This ones free!!
This is probably 2nd to bill wurtz
Absolutely amazing, thank you all so much for creating this.
I can't imagine how long this must have taken to animate. As an animator myself, everything is so impressive!
They have really stepped up their animation quality from their original videos haven’t they?
@@MaxHackbarth Oh for sure.
You vastly, vastly underestimate AI animation capabilities. Lots of this can not be animated in a matter of minutes now
@@Interesting.For.EveryoneI'm not sure what your point is because your comment contradicts itself, but i don't think AI is this accurate just yet
@@trueber1876 I'm confused, where does it contradict itself? I said it takes minutes... that's very fast animating
This is just astonishing! From a perspective of someone that is currently enrolled in a PhD in Biochemistry, but also loves animation and illustration, you sure put the bar very high. The way you guys communicate science is really impressive and inspiring. I hope you see this and know that your work is inspiring me and, I believe many more people, to know more, learn more and improve. Thank you!
Awesome video!
So much. From the perspective of a man-child.
I'll probably come back to this video once in a while for the rest of my life. I've always been incredibly fascinated by geologic time, but I had no idea it would be the map for such a wonderful audiovisual album. This is exactly what atmospheric music is meant to be. Shoutout to the parts for the Eoarchean, Mesoarchean, Rhyacian~Orosirian, and the emotional buildup from the end of the Jurassic to the present day. The Cretaceous scene really makes me feel something. Thanks to the Kurzgesagt team for being amazing as always.
'I'll probably come back to this video once in a while for the rest of my life.'
I feel the same.
I agree, after the transition to Cretaceus is incredible, the music and visuals are jaw dropping (I loved the purple landscapes).
I got really emotional in that part 🥰
I think I will come back here time to time too
3:50 unexpected beat drop
How the hell did i read this at that exact time😅
It's absolutely insane when you realize that all of human history only makes up the last fraction of a second.
What's more insane, is if you consider many of these facts have been known or mentioned over 1000 years ago.
*Big Bang and Evolution starting from the water:* "Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were one mass then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"
- Quran 21:30
We built the heaven with might, and We are certainly expanding it.
- Quran 51:47
How could a desert man 14 hundred years ago know that? You may say it's a guess work or a flock, but there're more impossible hints in that book.
*Origins of iron:* “And We also sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind…”
- Quran 57:25
The Quran seems to imply that the iron was something “sent down” and not from this earth, an idea not foreign to 20th century science.
*Origins of water:*
When the comets enter our atmosphere the heat generated on entry vaporizes this ice into the atmosphere. The Christian Bible says that God created water directly on Earth, however the Quran didn't do this mistake instead it says that God sent down water from outer space
"In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the oceans for the benefit of mankind; *In the water which Allah sent down from the Heavens and brought with it life to Earth after being dead and gave life in it to every kind of land animal;* And in directing the winds; And in the clouds that are enslaved between the Heavens and the Earth; [All these] are Signs for a people who comprehend."
- Quran 2:164
Mind blowing
If the history of the earth was 1 year, not 1 just hour, human history would only be just over 10 seconds.
And yet, we’ve already advanced so much!
@Thesamurai1999 way less than we could have. Even dating back to the Sumerians, we only recently rediscovered things about the universe & space that was already recorded thousands of years ago.
huge respect to the animators this must have taken insanely long
edit: I made this comment while watching the video so thankyou for letting me know
4.5 Billion years I think
It did, pretty sure they said it in the credits.
Shout out to the musicians as well :)
Humans history was less than an actual sec
How long do you guys think the animatior spent to complete all the drawings and animation
I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in my feed. This is actually insane! Thank you everyone from Kurzgesagt for this absolute masterpiece
It was like finding a genuine diamond in the middle of a crowded street, waiting for me to pick it up!
