What other events would you add from Earth's history?
Liked your own comment
..and this is just the history of Earth.. deep time is huge. It took forever for stars to form and die and form new systems etc etc (I don't think i have enough yarn for this)
My Dad thought me the same thing
Kind of,
Maybe!!!!!!
IDK why, but using distance to represent time just throws me off. I guess I'm just so used to doing the math in my head. this only helps me imagine large distances.
Sorry but how did you get to Zilker Park on a day where it wasn’t absolutely crowded?
The whole Cleopatra / Taco Bell thing, followed by the T-Rex / Stego thing, pretty much broke me. Good job.
Well Cleopatra even isn't even a pure Egyptian to speak of. She's of Greek heritage, so she's not all that closely related to the original Nile river valley residents.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's marriage is closer to the Fall of the Soviet Union than us in the present day.

Sooo, to Cleopatra the Pyramids were ancient history?!
Pretty much.
No…how could this
Not just that.
To Cleopatra, Tutankhamun was ancient history. To Tutankhamun, the Pyramids were ancient history.
@@AlbertM170 A-what?
I mean, if you think of Cleopatra as ancient history, then yes.
I think of the Pyramids more as slightly pre-history. I would imagine Cleopatra would've thought so aswell, although she may have had a better idea of how they were made, how they looked, an how ancient Egypt looked in it's prime.
Personally, it's hard for me to think of Cleopatra as ancient history. Just history.
When people say technology is too advanced I laugh. We are literally at the beginning. Internet has only been used by the public for 27 years. People have only been driving cars for over 100 years. Electricity for Christ sake is about 150 years ago. We are the start and no where even close to hitting stride yet when you consider time on a universal scale.
Anthony, I completely agree. That point has always made me wonder what a civilization just a few thousand years ahead of us would be like. But more than likely, if we ever encounter or discover an advanced civilization, they will be millions of years ahead of us.
We're gonna end so soon😪
I agree with you. Sadly, I do not hold out much hope for humanity to reach its stride. We will kill ourselves and many innocent co-inhabitants in the NTDF.
Ah the straw man argument
People want to feel important. Hence the lack of understanding of time scales beyond basically their lifetime.
The arrogance of humanity is that most of us view humans as an end product of all that time rather than just another tag on the timeline.
Well by definition we are the result of all of that, we just aren't in our "finished product" state yet. We aren't fit for shelves right now, we're still under construction.
There is no timeline without humanity, so arrogance was a poor choice of a word.
The VP of the US reckons the Earth is just 5,000 years old.
Are you suggesting he's a little out?
shyut up.
@@nathanielmathews2617
Even the Idea that we are at "the peak" can be viewed quite differently.
We could be described as an accident, a catastrophe.
Like the first cyanobacteriae who poisened nearly everyt other living thing with their poisonous oxygen.
Our impact might yet get to be as destructive. possibly even more, making it hard for life itself to hold on the already started die-off.
Man, I really wish I could just spectate the earth and rewind as much time as I wanted to see how it was at any time I wanted. It would be so fascinating and exciting.
What’s your icon pic?
You would likely see that none of this stuff is true.
@@darkerknight7010 Some of it would be, but history, as they say, is written by the winners.
travel out of your body and see for yourself :)
History's timelines are mostly estimations and are most likely entirely made up. We know nothing but what can be accurately be verified by multiple unbiased witnesses. Except in the history of the Earth we have none. The written historical record of today will be entirely unlike what many people see as "their history" in 200 years. Except now its written by mainstream liberal media and educators. You have to also take into account that history is likely only one half of a population's viewpoint. Nobody will be able to see even a losing viewpoint because of censorship and destruction.
My perspective of time has completely changed since being diagnosed with cancer this year. It’s been completely cured now, but if I was born 50 years ago I wouldn’t have lived past 18 years old. Such a small difference in time in the scale of things.
Glad to read you beat it!
Hope you're still alive and kicking!
"This is the best/worst time to live"
--- said by almost every human being who lived in each time period
A historian I like was asked about time travel, and he said as a general rule when asked these questions, his answer is invariably, "I wouldn't go back in time any farther than I could get easy access to antiseptics and painkillers." I tend to agree. THIS is the best time to be alive, because it's easier to stay alive than in any other period in human history.
@@matthewwells1606 yup
@@matthewwells1606 does ease of ability to stay alive = the best time to live or does living the most meaningful and happy life = the best time to be alive? Because its a fact that with every year we progress we are less happy and find less meaning in our lifes...
@@joey9511 That's a fair point. I wonder, though, if in part that's a product of warped expectations and perceptions, i.e., people in the modern world (especially younger people) feel like they need to be manically HAPPY all the time in ways that earlier people did not. In 1840, how much expectation for "happiness" could you have if 4/6 children died by the age of 10? Or if a minor cut while gardening could result in your death? Heartbreak was just part of life in earlier periods. As for me, I'm incredibly happy being able to run, swim, and ride my bike after two knee surgeries that wouldn't have happened 100 years ago. I have all my teeth at 49 years old. I've explored more of the world than Sir Francis Drake or Marco Polo. I live 3,000 miles from my mom and talk to her every day. I have indoor plumbing and light and heat whenever I want it. I grant you that the modern world can be complicated, but it is also a miracle.
@@matthewwells1606 I see it the same way - there's a lot of fallacies in the measurements of 'happiness' and 'meaning', and trying to compare old studies or surveys to modern ones brings up both empirical and perceptive problems. I will say I think there's something to the fact that we're biologically designed to handle a pretty brutal lifestyle, struggle and pain gives a sense of meaning, but appreciating that fact and the comforts that we have easy access to really undermines the idea that things are 'worse' - more accurately, culture hasn't caught up to modern standards of living, and people having (relatively) easy lives are prone to expecting more without respecting everything that *isn't* wrong.
What I take from this is that I just barely missed my chance at dating Cleopatra
You might be better off for it, considering the fate of the men she dated and married...

AI - 200 years from now - "And, we've only been here for 197 years, right before the extinction of humans."
T-2 years remaining
haha
AI is unlikely to wipe out humans in a bloody revolution in a short amount of time. They're more likely to replace humans slowly in a bloodless coup. Imagine this. A new company provides a service, you get a brain scan, and then send away for a robot son who will be more like you than your natural son would be, more your son than your actual son is. Except he doesn't need to worry about getting diseases, and won't ever get cold or hot and doesn't need to eat. That would be a popular product, right? It doesn't matter though, humans will be wiped out by a genetically engineered doomsday virus created by a renegade scientist who hates the world, and there won't be any AI to replace it anyway.
uh... I guess humanity goes extinct in.. 2022... oh god...
@@medexamtoolsdotcom A little like 12 Monkeys movie then. I don't think humanity can be wiped out by a virus because there still are extremely isolated aboriginal populations. Probably the best motivation to leave them alone and stay away from them is the fact they may be our only chance.

@@firstnamelastname061 well I see where you're comin from, maybe the school just didn't care to be accurate
As an academic specializing in evolutionary bio, I have to say it’s hard to convey to most people the *overwhelming magnitude* a period of 3.5 billion years is. Of course the math of it isn’t too conceptually challenging, but the actual vastness of that number when put into the perspective of our relatively minuscule lifetimes, and all of the enormity of events we perceive within... it goes over the heads of most. I really like this string analogy. It gives a relative visual perspective on a scale small enough to not be so mind boggling.
i always liken it to distance... 1 year = 1mm..
Couldn’t help but drop in you’re an academic huh😉
@@LandonAshworthDirects I do bio research and work for a university. Sorry if you dislike the term.
@@LandonAshworthDirects an academic means someone who works with/for an academy.... Its not like saying "as an intellectual thinker"
so hard it was accomplished witha string
I think Carl Sagan did a good job of explaining Deep Time, in the first Cosmos t.v. series, using a calendar with the big bang occurring at the first second on the 1st of January, and the final second of December 31st being present day. by comparison, all of human history occurred somewhere in the last hour of the last day, with all of written history occurring in the last few seconds of the last day. it's a good way to understand it.
Carl Sagan was the real deal, unlike some of these CZcams jokesters.
People run into the same issue with space. Trying to comprehend the VAST distances between stars is difficult, even for people that study it.
Try just atoms. It boggles the mind, but apparently every object, including people, has more empty space than substance.
we also run into the same problem with wealth. people don't understand how mind bogglingly wealthy someone like elon musk is. if people really understand how much 100 billion dollars really was, i think they would be much less okay with the idea of one person having anywhere near that much money.

You forgot the first flat earther humanity really took a huge step back
nope, only the flat earthers took a step back
It occurred to me recently that flat Earthers are kinda right for the wrong reasons. Earth *really is* flat but only in the sense that the surface is roughly parallel with the curved lines of spacetime as shown by Einstein's field equations. 3 dimensional Cartesian coordinates with parallel lines along x,y,z work fine on a human scale where up is up, but when we extrapolate Cartesian coordinates to a planetary scale, where the curvature of spacetime is noticeable and outwards becomes upwards, that's when we see the sphere - but it only exists in that Cartesian x,y,z frame of reference, which is this entirely imaginary, made up thing. Yep.
they wouldnt use the flat earth model if it wasnt simpler to use SOMETIMES
The first flat earther probably grew a brain and finally accepted the earth is a globe. The modern flat earther devolved. Actually don’t call them flat earthers, the correct term is globe deniers.
The flat earther movement was a 4chan meme that gained momentum. They noticed ppl would absolutely freak out at just a mere thought of a flat earth and would become hysterical. Pay attention, flat earthers are always calm and round earthers just throw insults. Hardcore trolls.
That was a great demonstration of time scales!!
These videos are Awesome & i love the funny bits you add in them. Thank you for making them.
Cool videos!! I've always been curious, loved knowledge and the wonder of learning new things. I can remember going to the library in 3rd grade at my elementary school and while other students were getting choose your own adventure books, I was getting astronomy books. I grew up in the 80's, so that's when the Voyager spacecraft's were doing their outer planets fly by, and I couldn't get enough of that stuff.

I don't want to be a smartass but as a biologist I have to be one right now. Eukaryotes are not defined as organelle-posessing cells. The important organelle that distinguishes prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the nucleus (which you mentioned) that is not found in prokaryotes and contains the cell's genome. Some prokaryotes do have organelles thus rendering any other definition useless.
Otherwise very interesting video guys. Big fan. Stay curious!
Habe mir das gleiche gedacht.
Don’t prokaryotes only have ribosomes as organelles
IIRC Joe's doctorate was in biology.
What does it mean that we came from a common ancestor?
@@kamwow9469 No, ribosomes aren't organelles, they are nucleoproteins. It is in fact true that prokaryotes usually lack organelles but the definition of "eukaryote" is still rather based on the absence of a nucleus in prokaryotes than on all other organelles. This detail becomes especially important when looking at the numerous organelles of some prokaryotes (the magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria, photosynthetic membranes, and the internal membrane structures of the Planctomycetes).
If you're interested, check out the research article "Cell Biology of prokaryotic organelles" by Dorothee Murat, Meghan Byrne, and Arash Komeili

And we count 99% of those years backwards because of one carpenter
Not to be a nerd, but geologists tend to use MYA (millions of years ago) rather than BC when talking about anything more than a few thousand years ago.
99% is bad rounding. It's way closer to 100%.
Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, taking effect in 45 BC. The attribution to Christ was made in the 6th century by Exiguus.
More like 99.9999999%
Holocene calendar is much better imo, while it's still centered around humans instead of age of Earth or the universe, at least it's not centered around *1 man* for religious reasons.

1 million years ago you could leave your doors unlocked coz there was no crime.
A million years ago there was no time. Now ponder that. Time is a human invention which is wrapped around our sense of self. The Universe knows nothing about time or how humans perceive it. We are completely irrelevant
@@Fandango541 What? No! As long as there is continued motion in the universe than time will always be a thing. Time’s definition is just the continued motion of existence, we as humans can perceive the change of something through continued motion which is indicative of time. The labels of year, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc is just us trying to put a measure of time on OUR own relative scale. Now, the Universe itself doesn’t have its own scale of time to our knowledge, we had to create these labels so we could UNDERSTAND time as a construct.

One person's stupid question is another's key to unlocking the universe. Pray tell, up there on your high horse, can you tell us the difference between imagining bacterium and imagining a Planck length? Both can't be seen in a traditional sense, so what's the point, right?
Your whole premise of "knowing which questions to ask, which ones are valid" is horseshit. If you don't question everything you're not asking the right questions. That's how science works! It doesn't prove things. The only stupid question is a question you already know the answer to but ask anyway. Life isn't about finding the right questions. It's about recognizing the answers.
But, finally, "Try to picture a Planck length" is not a question.
@pyropulse ...first and foremost you haven't demonstrated that you understand what a Planck length is.
The string was such a help lol... No cap, it really helped putting deep time in perspective. Thank you.
Great presentation!
Can’t wait till I’m 31.7 years old and can say that I’ve lived and breathed for a billion seconds.
31 years, 8 months, 7 days if you want to have a party on the specific day that you'll pass 1 billion seconds old lol
@@Aeturnalis just put it in my calendar! (13 years from now!)
Good job not getting into any fistycuffs with rouge Frisbee golfers!
They are relegated to the other side of the park these days. And it’s called DISC GOLF!!! Gah
@@besmart Oh man, how embarrassing. Not only got the name wrong, but also haven't been to the park in so long I didn't realize it moved...shame shame shame!
@Evi1M4chine I thought it was mandatory to drink Rogue.
@Christopher Willis
It’s okay, the Disc Wars took a toll, but they now respect the treaty to stay on their side of the park
disc golf?
What ?
Love this, Can you guys do cosmological time also?
Useful visual! Thank you!
I don't know why but this made me kind of emotional...
1:44 Those time comparisons really blew my mind...
I guess we think more in logarithmic scale.
GiggitySam Entz Not really to me,
3 x 11 days = 1 month
36 x 11 days = 1 year
360 x 11 days = 10 years
1080 x 11 days = 30 years
1116 x 11 days = 31 years
1116 ~ 1000
1.000.000 x 1.000= 1.000.000.000
All you need is a little perspective
@@dundee6402 thats literaly what he said.. he just said logarithmic scale perspectiv
@@dundee6402 I don't get it... Why these numbers ?
GiggitySam Entz Because apparently
1.000.000 seconds = 11 days
1.000.000.000 seconds = 31 years
is mind-blowing for some reason
Awesome presentation. Thank you!
