4.5 Billion Years in 1 Hour
This video from kurzgesagt attempts to present the history of Earth in a manner that can be consumable/comprehensible by people who are typically unaccustomed to thinking about time at this scale.
In an odd way, I’m also reminded of Powers of Ten. Not quite the same thing, but similar.
I’m a big fan of work like this. I think time is incredibly difficult to visualize, and love that someone tried to visualize such a thing on such a scale. Spend a little time, and think about time in a new way.
