- Did you know that about a quarter of the Earth's geologic history is just... missing?
It's not that we can't find evidence.
It's that the evidence just doesn't exist. Physically.
This is not a joke, or an exaggeration, or a conspiracy.
It's a scientific fact that has an equally mysterious name: The Great Unconformity.
Today you will learn:
Where and why did a 14-kilometer layer of soil disappear without a trace across the planet?
What is the connection between the Grand Canyon and the mountain ranges in Australia?
How did the deadliest winter in the history of the planet become the cradle of vibrant life?
Who turned off Earth's magnetic field 500 million years ago?
We're off to explore the mysteries of the grandest events in planetary history.
The mystery of the Great Unconformity.

Earth's grand cosmic prank: Let's delete a chunk of history and watch scientists squirm!
There is no logical reason to think Earth is that old.
It's not there because the Earth has not been here for that long. There is evidence to suggest the Earth is between 6 and 8 thousand years old. The modern theory has been proven false.

Why are we assuming that the sedimentation was rock which then got deleted? If Antarctica suddenly melted, then that ice record will be gone. This is not telling us that sections of history have been deleted, its telling us how long it was covered in ice and snow. The assumption that sedimentation is only in the form of rock which will last till we observe it is the problem. In cold times, the sedimentation still happens, but it only lasts while its cold enough to stay frozen, because it is made from snow and ice and not rocks/dust.
The most logical and sensible comment I've come across so far. I am inclined to believe this could be a possibility. Thanx.
Great comment.
So there was a layer of ice which stayed for a 1.5 billion years until it melted. Problem solved. 😅
wow. much intelligent
That’s what I was possibly thinking. If during an ice age ice formed then it melted and then the new rock layers started to form on top of the old ones then that could easily explode why there is missing layers. I was also thinking that a volcanic eruption could melt rock or a giant meteor could destroy layers. Then again new layers form on top.

@Justin Y. Trump is evil. He ignored this virus until he couldn't ignore it...the steps taken have been deliberately slow to contain this virus, as the government has made huge financial gains in allowing particularly older, retired people to die...no more pay outs each month...voting, if still valid in this country...is our only peaceful, legal recourse...voting 3rd party is the ONLY WAY to get real humans in power, rather than dynasty families and career politicians. When we realize the 2 parties we are divided over LOVE the division among us...then and only then may America be great again...
@Justin Y. Lack of knowledge of the deep state? I just accused our government of mass murder...I understand deep state...fact that you refuse to listen, only attack, says too much about you...clearly you haven't known hardship. Clearly none of this has impacted you negatively...you are part of the problem, offering zero solutions.
@Justin Y. Calling me stupid really helps your case...Trump has very limited brain power, as evidenced by his rambling, generally repetitive, toddler talks...although most of us are sorely undereducated, Trump really amazes me every time i listen to his banter. Trump did not close the borders in time, many flights to the USA brought sick folk here. Action wasn't taken until very late February, and by then 15 confirmed cases were more than enough to basically allow what amounts to airborn, quickly lethal AIDS《why this? (Because this virus mutates too fast to create an effective vaccine, which may never get made), upon the world. This is dangerous because common behaviors of common folk, such as shoulder to shoulder events, shopping and sardine packed working conditions, helped this virus along...even as people died in China daily...America went forward 2 full months wothout any concerns...then...rather than force the hands of state officials, and put the population through a 2 month quarantine, we've been seeing states react, rather than prepare...and all at the natural stages this virus thrives on...complacency among enough of us to allow the spread to continue. You refusing to see this logic isn't a blight on my mental capacity, just proves you are as simple as our Lord Trump...and likely among those very few, who like many elites, don't even understand the plight of the masses, whom I speak for, in this contrived crisis...Trump is calm about the virus because he exists outside the bounds of common folk...Trump and other powerful people would never have to take the risk of infection seriously as they are all well protected by expendable servants or can at the least afford to continue living lavishly and distanced from peons such as myself. 9/11 was an inside job and this proves what I've feared since then...that the government can perform mass murder and the people will always just accept it, hire the next sociopath in line, whichever of the 2 evil divisionary parties they aspire to dwell in...
Our educational system is archaic. We could be educating everyone from home...there are no valid excuses for our current broken schooling, and no teachers need lose jobs...as the internet is an amazing communication device...
Taxes are broken. Your dollar earned gets hit so many times...and we all just accept that blindly.
Medicine is broken. My grandmother died because her selfish daughter needed cable tv more than grandma needed diabetes medicine...and millions suffer from the inability to afford insulin, despite that drug initially starting out as a gift to humanity from a generous genius, privatized by evil and greed, priced beyond reality for most.
Our 2 party system is designed to keep us bickering...division keeps us docile enough to accept our own government conspiring to murder us, with our acceptance. 3rd party candidates are generally real humans...that care about other humans, even, gasp, total strangers and foreigners...
We are all on the same damn spaceship...Earth. I judge character...not race, not whatever religion folks are born into. I am old...I am tired of seeing disaster after disaster get slow attention from government, as poor people die in thousands due to delayed or nonexistent help.
It's about time the many take control, with votes, to dethrone the sociopaths that control us, play games with our very lives...
When there are only voluntary homeless, when the janitor is paid living wage, when a high school graduate can earn enough in food service, or retail, to support a modest home and essentials, while creating a nest egg...when veterans are given the same care as Congress, Senate and other positions of highest power, rather than left to suffer and die, when the lowest paying jobs are enough to survive on, then and only then, can America boast of being great...
As it stands...I feel most of us are born into lies we have no control over...It's well orchestrated, as my points are made clear in every satirical broadcast about the plight of the expendable masses, world wide...
Do I want peace, equity and kumbaya? Yeah...I do...are there sociopaths in power oppressing the common folk...yeah...there are...have good Democrats and Republicans existed? Yes...they get blocked by evil at every turn, often resigning due to unbeatable corruption. Do I pity the very people I label simple? You bet I do...I want this planet to be a better place for most...not some...for all...if ever possible...
This covid virus isn't done. It mutates too fast to pin it down with a vaccine...and we haven't seen the end of it because we, as a planet, would have to agree on a few ground rules to consider being a functional society.
That's my 2 cents...some of it...take it or leave it. Most of us just exist and watch, lazily, rather than get directly involved in change. @soaringvulture We don't seem to take note...we, the expendable masses, are being told to push through life ignoring this virus...it took ONE infection to start a Planet Wide Pandemic...and because we didn't quarantine from January 1st to February, we get to watch innocent and otherwise lives lost, daily...who are "we", in "we're in it together"? Certainly not the elite...they step on us to avoid harm...I'm furious with humanity as a whole...I'm furious we accept all this death and Trump's toddler talks...like a Ted talk without useful insight...
Those of us suffering are many...while the privileged watch the show They created...when...when will the common folk unite against tyranny, through the only peaceful means we have...vote out career politicians and dynasty families in favor of fellow human beings, with consciousness and compassion for the lowest among us.
We won't stop the cycle of abuse by trading Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same evil, corrupt coin.
Vote 3rd party...vote for real people, with flaws, that understand what struggle is...that have put time behind any of these so called essential, yet minimum wage jobs...
This economy is screwed...always has been. The vast majority of work available is menial labor...food service, retail, janitors, grocers...a great many take their wages in government...which is far too big, complex and unsustainable...
Until any job can offer a modest secure household, until the only homeless are those who volunteer to live "free"...until the pill giants are mandated to make life saving medicine reasonably priced...we are a selfish, horrid nation, divided by the very people that oppress us, yet too busy fighting amongst ourselves to take any useful action towards a better tomorrow for the MANY, not the FEW
Speak for yourself
It is a but odd isnt it.
At least for the moment !
The earth's inner core rotation changes roughly anywhere between 6 - 70 years (I've heard both numbers so I'm going with anywhere between). Its spin axis wobbles about every 6 - 14 years. The magnetic poles flip on average about every 300,000 years, with smaller wanderings between. The sun also has it's own cycles, so I'm assuming every other part of...everything that exists does, too.
Ice ages come and go, too, so it may be that the snowball Earth effect is another cycle that's bigger than the average ice age.
As for the technicalities of any of that, I've got no idea.
It makes me think of the pre-Abrahamic myths about the world being made, flourishing, everything being wiped clean with just enough life surviving to continue on once the world is remade; the cycle has repeated, and will repeat again. I'm probably talking out of my ass, but it sounds like we as a species have forgotten a lot of really interesting shit lol.

'If the evidence does not fit the theory, there must be some missing evidence... ' How about a fundamental problem with the theory!
Probably all of the above!
Can be applied to the flat earth community, they have the answer and search for evidence to prove it is true.
The missing sediment is literally telling us how long these areas were covered in ice. There's no mystery at all and it's actually quite simple, even; Once that frozen layer consisting of mostly ice melts, it leaves a large gap in the sedimentary record, hence the "missing" section.
Everything about this planet is cyclical and it'll freeze over again one day the same way it has many times in the past. And, when that happens, it'll likely last for millions of years and, once again, there'll be another section missing from the sedimentary layers telling how long it stayed that way.
There is no evidence the whole planet froze over for 1.5 billion years. There’s no evidence that life restarted after that ice melted.
So the Jesus story is fake?

I have snorkeled in Lake Erie, at a place called 18 Mile creek. Here you can see trilobites in the rock at a depth of a few feet, or less than a meter. Directly above it is a Cliff at 130 Feet.
This shows that there was at one time so much more earth above this one place at one time. Variables in the most recent ice age, depth in lake level, and constant water erosion have made these places, just a few feet apart, almost different realms.
How will this locations change in the next 5,000 years? That’s about when Niagara Falls will eat its way to the mouth of Lake Erie and drain most of the depth of the Great Lakes, making Erie a river.
I hope not I kind of enjoy looking at the lake while at a concert at the stadium
How many pounds is less than a meter?

Doesn’t an ice age make sense? Glacier ice would prevent sediment from accumulating, there for preventing rock layers from being made except at divergent plates and volcanoes. There would be almost no animal or plant life, it would also explain why it looks like the surface was scraped clean before the layering began again, after the ice retreated. I’m still listening and they brought up snowball earth, this makes the most sense in my opinion, I went to school to be a geologist but decided to stay with what I was doing already at the time.
For a billion years?
Ice digs out U shape valleys. It does not plane the underlying rocks flat. Also where did the water go?

Blame it on the Sun and Jupiter and the mid-sized blue marble floating in space between them. Growing up the Sun and Jupiter being great friends loved picking up large space rocks and playing catch with them. Unfortunately or fortunately depending how you look at it occasionally the blue marble would get in between the two friends and get smacked upside of the head with one of those space rocks and get it's bell rung. One day it's bell was rung so hard that millions of cubic miles of dirt, ash, and dust were thrown up into the upper atmosphere that it blocked the thermal radiation and sun light from reaching the ground and freezing everything on the surface and cooling down the interior. The end result was the Snowball Earth and weakened magnetosphere. We all know the frigid period was temporary and after (X) amount of time the planet became the place we all know and love today. Of course we all know that the blue marble didn't learn it's lesson and has been hit by more large space rocks than we will ever know playing roulette with any creature fool enough to be playing on the blue marble's surface and in it's waters. So, in a sense the Earth did take a Billion year time out, wiped itself clean and got up to play the game of life again. Besides what's a billion years when your nearly 5 billion years old.

The cambria explosion is actually interesting but pretty understandable.
So you know that natural selection means that species more fit to survive their environment would be the ones to leave more offsprings and thus more likely to continue existing. But the environment itself - like the temperature of water or mineral contents of it are pretty uniform throughout the generations. So all species that survived so far are fit enough to not be selected out.
And then a new feature of life emerges. A predator. Not in the common sense of the word - plant eater would be also considered a predator, as it gets food by actively attacking other organisms.
And that thing by itself changes the game like a hurricane. Basically not only now there is a way for a species to become more successful by literally eliminating the competition, but now the "environment" you have to be fir for is defined not by pretty static weather conditions, but by what other organism live around you. And this means that generation on generation conditions start to differ, selection now has to be more picky and speciation goes into overdrive. But the more speciation there is the more volatile the "environment" becomes. Untill a king of stable ecosystem with severance niches is established.
And on top of that - one of the obvious features that get selected for during this mess are features used for predation or to defend against predation. So you get teeth, claws, thorn, horns, carapace... And all those features are more likely to get preserved in the fossil records.

Isn’t that because of ice???😮 When the world was frozen
You should have showed the Hypothetical picture of land masses of Gwandanaland in those epochs , not continually spinning the current Atlas in the video. Back then multi million years ago the western Australia and the McDonnel Ranges were the coast lines ( Pre cambrian Fossils) of a semi circular bowl with other land masses close to the Equator ,linked to many other what is Now Huge Mountain Ranges. These images helped understand the erosion and magnetic and Ice Age erosions

In recent years I realized I have and always had (based on my symptoms) serious magnesium defeciency. I had already started taking magnesium suplements (coincidentaly) from about the age of 32-33 for my muscle cramps and headaches after an advice from a relative. Not very regularly, just every now and then. Coincidentaly I had serious stomach ralated problems from 22 to 31 years old were I had a life changing/saving operation.
I think the problem started with my digestive not working properly to absorb some nutrients which resulted in deficiencies and the magnesium one is the reason for my memory problems (maybe other deficiencies play a role too). Those memories before my 30s of course are probably lost forever for me.

Maybe that when the eart was impacted by a Rouge planet and formed the moon from that missing material
Must of been a global ice age so that part melted 🫠
It’s not pronounced “Ewtah”, It’s pronounced Utah.
15:58 before you came with this theory i already thought about it without knowing about it. my mind automatically processed a theory why the great unconformity happened and it came up with a theory that the great unconformity happened because that time earth was covered with thick layer of ice in a global scale. an event caused by a cataclysmic events. i think removing an entire landmass in a global scale is kinda impossible than halting the process of tectonic plates and the only way for that to happen would be for the mantle to cool enough to solidify. this also supports the snowball theory. and there's a lot of ways for mantle to cool down for a very long time.
I would guess that the missing layer is underneath the older layers because of geologically fast crust shifts. Like if you took a section of wet sand and flipped it over. The older layer is now above the newer layer and another new layer forms on top of that
That should be easily testable, an inverse of time in the core samples
They’ve already ruled out Tectonic Pancake Theory as a large enough spatula would not have had time to evolve between the Big Bang and the flipped layers.
It has to do with Earth covered in ice. Obviously the ice melted 500million years ago allowing resedimetation. While the ice was there, it woud be hard for sedimentation to take place so if the ice perion lasted lets say 500million years that would account for the lack of sedimentation and half of the missing history! The other half is from damage caused to the Earths surface from ice and glaciers, they function like a giand merciles plow that can shave hunders of meters from the land of not a lot more and that would account for the other missing sedimentation history
Not bad.....🤔
Here's my hunch on what happened. We don't see the layers because they never existed!
Plate Tectonics results in land uplift, from the pressure between two plates (see the Andes in South America for a good example, or the Himalayas in Central Asia that resulted from India smashing into Asia. You either see uplift, or subduction). Erosion of the uplifted plateaus and mountain ranges result in rock layers deposited, then turned into stone from heat and pressure from the upper layers.
IF Plate Tectonics stops, though...then no uplift. No uplift means there's nothing poking out to erode after some millions of years , so no new layers were ever created. If you have a "Snowball Earth" scenario at the same time (and the Snowball Earth may be related to the stoppage of Plate Tectonics), then you've stopped all erosion except scraping from the glaciers.
Somehow (internal nuclear reaction at the core building up heat again? Massive asteroid strike? Who knows?), Plate Tectonics starts again. You get reactivation of hyper thermal vents, volcanoes (that would spew out Carbon and other greenhouse gases that would warm things and end Snowball Earth) , and uplift that starts the erosion cycle again so that nutrients flood the oceans, resulting in the Cambrian explosion of life.
And yes, I know that the weak point of this idea is how Plate Tectonics got turned off, then turned on again. We really don't know much about how Plate Tectonics comes about (though there is now speculation that Venus had plate tectonics turned off by an asteroid strike, which resulted in the greenhouse effect taking over). The magnetic field going to almost zero is a clue though...no spin of the core, no dynamo effect.
I agree. That is the most logical reason why this all happened.
I know almost nothing of geology, but the three coincidenses sounds like they link together: magnetic field declines drastically - most of life is extinguished because of incoming radiation. Those who survive get more mutations (due to radiation). When the magnetic field gets higher again, there are possibilities open again, and as we know, life usually expand if given the chance, and here were "free" ecological niches together with more variations in life forms (due to mutations) than before. Plus all that's been said in the video.
Didn't know about the layer that's missing, interesting!
Library of Alexandria held all of lifes secrets that now will be forever lost .
I’d say it’s a win if only 1 billion years are missing
Good thought, we still have 4/5😄
Does it have anything to do with the formation of the moon.
Very, very interesting! Thank you !
The fact that the unconformity exists, and that the lower members are truncated is strong evidence for massive erosion of some type.
Deck reshuffled 🇨🇦🌐
The Earths core slowed lowering the affects of the electromagnetic field. It affected gravity to such a degree that large parts of earth began to float up like a low hanging asteroid field that banged into each other over time causing a low altitude blanket of earth minerals that blocked the sun. That caused cooling and a snowball earth. The core slowly sped back up reversing the affect and the earth minerals and rock eventually settled back down to earth. Much of those minerals and rocks settled into the oceans changing the composition and life evolves quickly. The Earth that settled back down appears to be new earth minerals laying on old billions old earth. My hypothesis.
lowering the effects*
It was still understandable
You think gravity weakened so land floated away? Are you insane...😅 haha seriously though if the magnetosophere was weakened soil could have been blown off the earth by solar winds but the magnetosphere has no impact on gravity.
@@heetsees not just the magnetosphere, but the core itself changed lowering the effects of gravity. The change affected everything. What changed exactly I could not say, but a change maybe in density and make up might answer all the questions. I’m not genius so I will just say it’s my thoughts.
@@PawPaws_Place hey I have no problem with your opinions my good man. But think about this. The core may have a disruption but the mass itself never changes. The core can cool. The core can stop doing a lot of things. There can even be a solar flare so powerful it wipes the planet clean and the planet rebuilds. But the Mass never changes. But actually you make me think if the solar flare did remove and reset the top soil and blow it into space it would change the mass. And thus a new form of life could occur with a lower mass. But the mass never changes unless it did. The core changing or the magnetosophere changing doesn't change the mass. Very cool homie very cool.
Great photography and images to keep the eye fully entertained, though example of the gaps in the rock history could have been much clearer.
Madara just marking where he has been.
Snowball Earth! No deposits can be layed down when the entire planet is covered in ice. It happened, it's widely known in the scientific community.
Thats actually what i guessed when it first mentioned the gap in the rock layers.
Nice little ego boost lol
@@seaofenergy2765 it was caused by mining
@@matildamarmaduke1096 eh? You think an entire layer of missing rock from a vast area was caused by mining? What planet are you on? Actually dont answer that, im sensing flat earther.
Also guessing you didnt really watch the video.
Yes, scientists propose 3 snowball earth periods all of them just a fraction of that mentioned 1 billion+ years
The layers of rock were put down when the area was submerged in water. the missing part was just that the land was above sea level during that period, thus no deposits. Later, the land sank into the sea again, and new layers were deposited. Then again, the land rose.
I got it I got it. Once upon a time there came a period of timelessness, when the planet came to a halt, thanks to a regional hypernova or kilanova, literally & figuratively frozen in time, until another force knocked it out of the state of a permanent zombie planet.
As it revitalized, after waking up from a long sleep like Rip Van Winkle shaking the dust off, it resumed the traditional kind of stratification.
Rip Van Winkle, not Rumplestiltskin
@thomasmulhall4873 still a lovely hypothesis. I think we got hit. Hard. Literally broke planet hard. Oceans sweep over asia/Africa. North n South America became molten mess mixed with ocean. Gulf of Mexico being impact point. Shrug...someone will figure it out.
@@thomasmulhall4873 Thanks - I'm glad for the correction. I edited it immediately.💨
(I suppose I should have studied harder in my childhood days. I was a Dr Seuss guy. I barely remember Hansel and Gretel. Is there a remedial

At a time when there was no time!
sorry bro
I can't remember a lot of my childhood/youth - and what I do remember is almost like a movie or like it happened to someone else. My family and old friends will often be talking about an event where I was present and it was significant enough to where I should clearly remember it but it's a complete blank. I think it's from all the drug and alcohol abuse I fell into in my twenties.
This was done perfectly. Background sounds not too overwhelming
From which ever point you look at it, this is the result of a magnetic pole shift. And we are currently experiencing one.
There's things about this planet that is being kept a secret like how advanced ancient civilisations.
You watch too much "history channel" 😅
@@daemeonation3018you are too brainwashed by modern academia who have based their whole career on guesswork and are too proud to admit they were wrong.
@@espy0008 brainwashed by modern academia, yes. Thank you for pointing that out. It was time let go of all that scientific stuff I learned in graduate school getting my master's degree in physics. 😂 Now that we have our joke out of the way, I want to tell you about brainwashing because it IS happening. This may be news to you, but it is in the best interest of the rich people (the government, sam same) that people remain stupid. So the more garbage you consume on TV and the more nonsense conspiracy theories they can get you to believe in (including Santa Claus and Jesus) the easier it is for them to control you and keep you working for peasant wages while they rape you. So brainwashing? Sure. Just not me. I think you got sucked inby the middle of this video where the guy was staying in to this weirdo "theories" to keep people interested. It was annoying. If you watched it to the end, you would have heard that he eventually did get around talking about the accepted science. Please, please take any of this stuff on TH-cam with a grain of salt. Because 99.9% of these channels that claim to be science are just garbage so that they can get views and therefore money. I can't keep up with all of the wrong information I see on TH-cam. I am sorry that I can police every channel. I have a hard enough time just trying to fix people"s grammar. 😂😂😂
@@daemeonation3018 you do know he said civilizations not aliens, right?
@@Chris-ex5ed I LOVE people that split hairs with me!!!! I was in no sleep and on my way to DC to arrange a work visa at an embassy. I apologize if I ... Yeah. No. The great unconformity has nothing to do with either aliens or silurians. You think I don't know about stuff. I was in my 20s once. Smoked weed too. Now what is YOUR agenda???? That it wasn't aliens but pre-historic civilization? My advice to you, mr troll, is that you get an education and learn how to NOT be brainwashed. Back to the original point, eh??
It’s amazing how they are always ok with ice covering the entire earth and causing world wide damage but not water 🙄
It’s amazing how religious people are always ok with water covering the entire earth and causing world wide damage but not ice.
@@oldbatwit5102huh. That was real dumb. Must be a Democrat. They always say the dumbest things. Like our economy is great now hahaha
@@oldbatwit5102 that’s funny because I’ve never heard a single religious person say that ice could not have covered the entire earth. I have, however, heard many scientists say that a worldwide flood could have never happened. That is until recently now that they are starting to understand that a worldwide flood did happen.
@@oldbatwit5102 oh, did I mention how all major civilizations throughout history? Have a flood myth? Pretty weird huh? It’s almost like we have a collective memory of something happening huh? Don’t be an idiot your entire life.
@@hyperretroactivehyperretro5992 If you mean the flood that Noah rode out please point me towards the scientific proof.
My guess is y’all need to shut you computers off for 30 seconds and restart them. That will reset everything and explain everything.
I think the extended ice age caused the core to slow weakening the electromagnetic field causing increased solar radiation to melt the ice and then an equilibrium was struck. The frozen material then exploded into the various life
hey! I'm as confused as the next guy when it comes to this..a frozen planet suddenly melts..was earth in the same orbit to the sun when this happened? did we hit a hot spot in space to trigger this..did the earth's core just get hotter? and where were all the critters while this was going on...or did they land on this planet later on with the aliens..
You guys have such a knowledge 👏
😂😂😂😂😂😂 a bot TOTALLY didn’t write this…. 😂 🙄
@@kateapple1 bro i wrote it ! ●_●
I grew up in Erie,used to go to the WinterGreen Gorge same thing,thousands of fossils in the crick that runs through the gorge such a beatiful place
I am NO expert - not even a novice really - but I have learned to listen to my gut. For whatever reason, I immediately wondered if the Great Non-Conformity has any relation to the time of the formation of our Moon? Instead of an impact, could an extra body, passing close enough to Earth without ever hitting it, ripped off a rather large section of Earth's Crust, which then formed our Moon? The resulting tidal effects on the oceans could have played a large part in the Cambrian Explosion....
Would resulting impacts of the material raining back to Earth leave almost no trace as large amounts of Iridium would be missing (the rock originated from Earth, not from deeper space or prolonged exposure in space?
I had the same thought.
Wouldn't the composition of the moon be age determined to match the missing time?
Could a giant long lasting ice age, create this missing layer?
Did… did you watch the video?
To infinity and beyond?
Suggestion, glacial ICE occupied the layer of missing geological time, which, prevented the sedimentary accumulation (including volcanic basalt accumulation, as it would have melted existing sublayers being replaced by refreezing melt continuing the "GAP" of sedimentary time. This has actually been hypothesized by geologists time and time again, yet no one has dared to substantiate it.
You feel very scared and you feel lost.
I was in a coma for a month and I don't remember anything about what took place. My life was in the hands of strangers and I felt scared when I woke up.
That’s easy, the world is Not a billion years old.
You're right. It's closer to 4.54 billion years old.
The world is thousands of years old not millions or billions. It's a basis of faith no matter how old you believe the earth is because none of us were there 👍
God's timetable is NOT the same as man's timetable. A billion years to God would likely be as a thousand years.
Stop trying to comprehend God's Plan. You and I are not built for it.
It’ll be interesting if this is somehow connected to the “mud flood theory”
😂 you mean speculational hypothesis of a couple of nutcases? 😂
Fantastic 👍
The Earth has been repopulated several times. Until humanity learns to love one another, care about each other, life will be destroyed and rebuilt, reinvented until life becomes kind and respects other life.
My theory is probably the next one to be the most accepted : at one point in time the earth just died and became an inert rock. Nothing happened anymore. Then a huge meteor crashed and the energy and heat that ensued reactivated earth: boiling core, kinetic, life etc. The mass of this meteor is equivalent to 14km of earth crust. Thus no joke. Thank me later. That's what happened. The collision also put the earth on its current orbit, more or less.
Similar to my thinking. I think "Earth" was bigger and where the asteroid belt is.
Theia crashed into Earth & also have us moon.
I used to feel this way every Sunday morning
7:40 “Zeeon National Park in Ootah” 😂😂😂
it's not bad not remembering....
This would be a great 8 minute video... good info but too dragged out and ~sensationalized.
I am from northern country for me very logical seems the snowball Earth theory. I see every spring when thick snow melts it has layers of dusts dead plant fragments some bugs even. It all melts and flows away. I can easily imagine how over long period of time you would have these layers of particles and dead animals in volume of kilometres frozen in global ice sheet. When it melted it disturbed all layers it had. If that's the case we can find some of those missing pages in areas that used to be deep under water during that snowball period.
Lol
Welcome to my 20's and most of my 30's... Too many drugs...🤷😁
Great presentation. The surface of this planet has been scrubed clean many times to restart life!! We only have a few theories, but out of the box thinking is showing the way. The planet is a machine!! Check it before you wreck it!!
What if the earth was hit by something like a gama ray. Not strong enough to destroy it but strong enough to destroy many layers of the earth. If it lasted anywhere between 12 hours and 24 could have effected the whole plant during a days rotation. Just a thought.
If the evidence doesn't exist, how do they know it happened? Anyone have a think that maybe they're Dating things wrong?
Not an explanation though…
@@christopherhamilton3621 You have an explanation, let's hear it! Last time I checked answering the world's questions wasn't on my Resume'. Is it on yours? No? Unless you have valuable information to share, keep your vaccous comments to yourself!
The earth was a giant snowball for millions of years
7:39 sounded like nails on a chalkboard
Yes, that's why Nico Robin has been collecting the poneglyphs to understand what happened during that blank period in history. Anybody who tries to learn about that time is destroyed, much like how Ohara was burned to the ground. The world government considers the inquiry into that period to be a grave offense punishable by death, so yeah, I am hoping that Nico Robin gets to unravel that blank period in the world's history that has been conveniently removed.
Yes your so right
the void century
Aliens
World government don't want you to know the history
If we concede that previous advanced civilizations also developed advanced technology then we can conclude that perhaps they deployed a weapon that anialated everything on the planet and that destroyed the missing layers. You could probably test this theory by examining the geological evidence at Hiroshima or the the Nevada desert where nuclear weapons were deployed and tested. Human populations did inhabit underground cities all over the planet. Perhaps the civilization that deployed the weapons either lived under the ground initially to avoid some of the giant creatures above ground or perhaps they retreated underground to escape the devastating effects of weapons they deployed. This is pure conjecture but does appear to cover the bases.
To preclude means to make impossible, dude. Use the right word, "Surmise."
this has the possibility to be correct. but also has the possibility to not be correct. we simply do not know
The one flaw is they never dropped any bombs in Nevada (some of the 1st cgi right there lol) theres pics of houses getting blown up and in 1 there’s a car behind the house yet in others oops no car lol , that is just one example but Japan for sure a possibility
Nothing a solar nova would eliminate in one big bang,nothing left behind but stone buildings
@@scottaitken6713 huh? You can literally go to Nevada and get readings from a Geiger counter. Almost the entire crew from the Atilla the Hun movie with John Wayne ended up developing cancer. The rate of cancer in that crew was significantly higher than the rest of the population and that's because they rode around on horses and kicked up a lot of dust which they were inhaling for several weeks while filming. That dust has radioactive material mixes with it from all of the nuclear tests they did.
I don't know to what pictures you are referring to but whether the pictures are real or fake has no bearing on whether bombs were dropped. Plus, you're telling me that the federal government didn't secretly expose the general population to radioactive material? I would 1000% believe they did before id belove they didn't.
I think it does exist we just haven't found it yet. It isn't like we have even explored 5% of our oceans yet. Something might have happened on land, but 70% of our planet is the ocean, and 65% hasn't been explored yet. So who knows....🤔
I like the snowball earth theory but also think it could have something to do with the poles reversing and or the sun going super nova and blasting or vaporising everything on the face of the earth. Intriguing
Its gullible for humans to think that our own dating technology is as accurate as we think. Everytime a new technology is used our data changes. Even science doesn't get it correct all the time ...still so much to learn
If we discard the extremely unreliable method of dating things, remove the fantasy story of "long, long ago-or, once upon a time", and think about this.
If most of earth's water was in a frozen shield around the planet, and the restn massive underground reserves, then a meteor smashed the shield, and trillions of mega tonnes of water began falling, wouldn't it rain for at least a month? Would not the thin layers of earth above the water reserves collapse? And would not the entire sedimentary layer be dug up and massive forests be buried under enough earth to preserve them and allow them time and pressure enough to convert into oil; something that cannot happen without a massive global flood?
Now where have I heard that theory before?
Truth. But don’t you dare say you believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. That’s just… ignorant
@@andygarza8132why? Because it challenges the "narrative"? Truth about God is being suppressed across this planet, as foretold in the Bible. He's real and so is the enemy. People need to wake up.
@@dabosh78 lol okay. Sure. So Krishna and Vishnu are just imaginary figures to you? You do realize that your judeo Christian version of god stems from an even older pantheon itself right? El is the god you speak of. El and Yahweh. Father and son.
@@andygarza8132 God has existed from the beginning. Like broken telephone, aspects of him exist in older religions. But it was Abraham He made a covenant with. It is through 2000 years of history via prophets and biblical figures, He revealed his full testimony. Cultivating with the final sin offering of Jesus. Sorry, Vishnu and Krishna miss the mark and are false gods. But go on believing the lies of this world. I will follow the Lord.
Yet another good question is where did all of Africa's history go
