    I've heard that more recently the theory is that some heavier elements such as uranium were actually most likely formed in neutron star mergers and not in supernovas themselves. It doesn't make a major difference for the purposes here, as the point is that almost all uranium on Earth was created at the same time billions of years ago, but the closer details and theories of nucleosynthesis might be worth exploring more closely in the later episodes of the sister series on the history of the universe.

    Nice job! I just want to point out that we have fresh samples from the Earth's mantle, they are taken out by some kinds of magmas that rise up in few hours from below the Moho. They are called mantle xenoliths and are stunningly beautiful, with the lime green olivine as dominant constituent. Love them so much.

  • @Chris.Davies
    @Chris.Davies Před 2 lety +59

    7:06 - Far from being still or quiet, the ice-covered ocean was constantly in movement, due to currents below it, but mainly due to the tidal force of the moon on both the near and far side. Tides were only a little larger than today, with around 20% higher lunar gravity on Earth's surface. Plus the Earth rotated more quickly, and so the tides were more frequent.
    And so, the surface of the sea ice would produce a lot of scary ice sounds, and move around a lot, like a glacier on the sea in a tidal bay.
    So it's wrong to think of ice-covered oceans behaving like ice on land - which is for the most part, still and quiet.

    • @Hundredyacrewoods
      @Hundredyacrewoods Před 2 lety +6

      Apart from the equator and the deepest parts of the oceans the ice went all the way to the sea floor for that reason except possibly at the equator(the deepest parts would not have been big enough to have currents and the small gap at the equator might not have been too) there would be no currents.

    this channel is absolutely fantastic. I saw the "great oxidation event" first then started watching from the start. It's really impressive what you've done with just narration and some footage and stills. There is quite a lot of information that can be difficult to follow. I'm often rewinding a bit because I didn't catch something. I think it may be easier to follow if there was also occasionally some text on the screen - for example if the narrator says "two billion years ago" showing that on the screen, or that some life combined or evolved with some other. not whole sentences but just a couple of words.

    Edit: didn’t expect to get hardcore Christians to flood the replies lmao. Isn’t there something in there that says not to flaunt your beliefs around? I already believe in god, I don’t need lectures on not wearing wool and Lenin together or to not eat pork.
    I appreciate life with and without god, I’m humbled by the reality we’ve been through.
    I believe that god made the universe to be vast and huge (not bigger than him, for he is everything and more), he made space to exist for us to one day explore even if it seems impossible.

In a sense, conservation is un-natural. Don't get me wrong, conserving the planet is a good thing, but the ability to actively decide to NOT exploit an environment when we easily could is unique to us as an organism.

    Wonderful as always. I know a lot of this stuff, but you always uncover bits of research, discoveries, and stories of individual researchers I don't know about, and the art and language you use make it a lyrical meditation as well as one of the most informative documentary series out there. It reminds me of the wonder I felt watching the original Cosmos with my parents when it first aired. I wish Carl Sagan himself could see this; he'd be delighted.

      All brought to you by the "socialism" of low cost or free education provided to the returning WW2 vets who went from being warriors to become the most productive cadre of scientists and engineers the world has ever seen. Their payroll taxes repaid the investment society made in them 10 times over. And then came Reagan, who didn't see how paying it forward was going to benefit him and his donors. Profits are reported quarterly and if kids want an education then let them pay for it? Need a loan? I'll introduce you to my banker.
