History of the Earth 

Last 20 seconds: "Oh yeah. It's all coming together."

Earth: *Turning red, turning to lava, turning to ice, etc.* The other planets: boi what you doin

Until now I never realised that life literally had to exist for billions of years before even going multicellular. Wow.

That last part was like the continents going like "Oh shit teachers coming" and arranging themselves as fast as possible

İ love how the dinosaurs and the humans are both in the last 20 seconds of an 11 min video. Mother earth is very old.

when you realize homo sapiens were only in two frames

0:10 starting a water vouper 3:19 first ice age 4:40 first snowball earth event 5:31 the end of first snowball event 6:20 beginning of the boring billion 6:37 beginning of the supercontinent Columbia 6:54 oceans turn purple. 7:56 oceans stop turning purple 9:21 second snowball earth event 9:34 the end of second snowball earth event 10:25 beginning of supercontinent pangea 11:20 last ice age

It’s trippy to thing that all of recorded human history is about 1/1000 of a second of this video.

Ocean: turns red Music: turns into horror music Earth: freezes Music: *intensifies*

*“Hey can we go on land?”* *“N O.”* *“Why?”* *“THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER!”*

Imagine a 4 hour day. You’d literally work for 2 days straight before doing stuff for a day then sleeping for 2 days then doing more stuff for a day then back to work.

Credits to the cameraman who stood still for so long making notes in the space to record how the earth has changed.

I closed my eyes for one millisecond and missed half a million years

This must have take long time to create Respect this creator.

is it just me or does it feel very beautiful and serene? because it keeps changing from things like a jade green ocean to a red ocean and then a blue ocean then a purple ocean then back to blue is very nice to say the least. I also think the video music really hammers it home for me, and the mystery of not ever experiencing all the way back then.

I love how tense the music it gets when the ocean turned red

It's like watching a movie but knowing the ending

Respect to the cameraman for capturing these! Edit: boomers stay away if you can't even get these jokes

amazing, channels and videos like this would have made getting my geology degree easier back between 2005 to 2008! In gratitude!

Shoutout to the cameraman for recording this sick timelapse!

*that's not was i was expecting* also it should've been 11 minutes but i paused like 50 times so it ended up being a 25 minute video xd

Here are some human history time list First human in 11:23 First contry in 11:23 First man used fire in 11:23 World War 1 in 11:23 World War 2 in 11:23 Kanye born in 11:23 You NOW in 11:23

I love how he spend time on this video. It's awesome to watch this.

That was damn formative. I hadn't seen anything prior to this that really contextualized my life... other than representations of the vastness of empty space. Well done to the Algol person/team.

9:16 Oh, what a relaxing musi-

4:13 YOOOO THIS STONE DUDE LOST HIS LEG!!!

Wow, just the most amazing rendering - greatest story ever told. Wish this had been available 35 years ago when I was a geology student, waited a very long time for this, thank you😊

I really appreciate keeping the timestep constant throughout, that's the main insight that most timelapses like this lack... Just how long or short some of these periods were

-Can we go on land? -No. -Why? -*The sun is a deadly lazer* -_Not anymore there's a blanket_

Remember when earth's day was like 4 hours man school went by fast

This video had around 7 million views when I first saw it in early to mid 2023, and it grew steadily to over 11 million to its end. Well deserved.

4:39 when you turn the water tap a little bit when it is too warm

Earth: 4 billion years: nothing Humans: every year: *World Wide Celebration*

Kinda crazy how we can all remember the second before we were born- the absolute darkness and then suddenly our first memories came to us. Little did we know all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

This is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid! I only wish it could somehow be side by side with great extinctions & abrupt changes in dominant species as that might help clarifying some misconception about climate changes.

I followed this tiny first island ... It seems to be in Indonesia now.

cameraman really dedicated his life to this project

Favorite video, right here. The movement of everything and changes to the world, as well as the music, it's mesmerizing! Great work, Algol!

Please make a version at 4x slower, there is so much to reed and understand here. Marvelous video, one I have hoped to see for a long time!

Who would win? > The oceans, the average global temperature, and almost all life as we knew it > Some cyanobacteria bois making oxygen

video: "relaxing music" me: "skip 5 seconds" video: OCEAN GETS RED AND STARTS A TENSION MUSIC

I've heard of proposals to divide the Hadean eon into eras based on the few things we have found from the time. The first era would be the Paleohadean, which is defined not by physical evidence from the period which does not survive but by things that we know must have taken place. The era lasted from about 4.6 bya to about 4.4 bya, encompassing two periods. The Chaotian period lasted 30 to 70 million years, from the formation of the original "Earthmoon" body until the Theia Impact, while the Titanomachean period lasted from the Theia Impact to the solidification of the Earth's crust about 80 million years later. After this would be the Neohadean Era, beginning at 4.404 bya and containing three periods. The Narryeric, Jackhillsian, or maybe the Australian period, named after the Narryer Gneiss from the Jack Hills of Australia, which preserves the oldest known zircons from the early Earth dating to 4.402 bya. After that is the Iwokranan or Guianan period, after the Iwokrana Formation in Guiana, in which Hadean xenocrysts with surviving zircon have been discovered dating to 4.22 bya, and the last is the Acastan or Canadian period, named after the Acasta Gneiss of northern Canada, which contain tonalites dating to 4.03 bya.

thx for showing us!

Just a reminder that in a 10 minute video of Earth’s history, humanity is only there for half a second.

Oxygen: yeah let’s make the oceans red

Exactly what i was looking for .Thanks.

This was great, algol!😃

Imagine one day you walk outside and the ocean is red

We gotta thank the camera man who floated in space 4500 million years recording for us

The best and most educational video I have ever seen on YTB.

the animation was so good Algol :)

National Geographic: *he’s too powerful to be kept alive*

Earth: "it made me itch for a few hundredths of a second" Moon: "that was humanity"

0:18 : Earth/Terra’s formation (A bunch of floating debris crash together forming what we know as Earth) 0:19 : The Moon/Luna’s formation (A planet known as Theia entered the solar system around 4.6B years ago, but left orbit and crashed into earth. The leftover debris formed the moon.) 0:36 : Indirect evidence of first life (Indirect evidence points to life starting on earth as soon as earth became habitable.) 0:48 - 1:08 : Late Heavy Bombardment (A wave of asteroids that would crash into earth around the Hadean eon.) 2:11 : Vaalbara (The first supercontinent) forms (Vaalbara was the largest landmass at the time, although today it would be consider a large island, somewhat like Long Island.) 3:01 : Ur forms (Ur was a mash of Vaalbara and other islands. This supercontinent stayed intact until the breakup of Gondwana 165M years ago.) 3:17 : First ice age starts (The Pongola Glaciation event was the first ice age, caused by a rapid increase of oxygen in the southern hemisphere.) 3:38 : First ice age ends (The oxygen levels decrease slowly, until the icecaps melt.) 3:47 : Kenorland forms (Kenorland is a mash up of a bunch of islands, with 2 separate halves. This was the 2nd shortest lasting supercontinent, beat by Gondwana.) 4:30 : Oxygen Catastrophe (This event is a threat to all types of life at the time. This rapid rise of oxygen made the oceans rust and turn red, and later would cause the longest ice age in history.) 4:40 : Huronian Glaciation (The longest ice age in history, the was the 2nd one since the formation of the earth, and was caused by the oxygen catastrophe as the remaining methane began to cool down and make the earth freeze.) 5:30 : Huronian Glaciation ends (The longest ice age in history had ended. This was because of the oxygen levels decreasing due to the fact that the earth was producing more nitrogen.) 5:41 : Atlantica forms (Atlantica formed from the leftover broken cratons of Kenorland, which at this time had been broken up for about 600M years already.) 6:20 : Oceans return to a more normal color (Ocean stop rusting lol💀) 6:27 : Columbia forms (Columbia was the first true supercontinent, and was about the size of Asia (maybe larger). It was formed from the collision of Atlantica and Nena.) 7:28 : First algae (Algae blooms become abundant around this time.) 7:54 : Breakup of Columbia (Idk what to say about this one really lol) 8:17 : Keweenawan Rift (The largest known failed rift. If this rift was successful, it would have torn apart Laurentia and Rodinia would have never formed.) 8:34 : Formation of Rodinia (The 2nd largest supercontinent known to date. This supercontinent consisted of 2 islands, Laurentia and Australia.) 8:59 : Land plants diverge (Wow, that's a lot of water!) 9:17 : Breakup of Rodinia (Australia fused with northern Laurentia and split north and south Laurentia. This drift would cause both snowball earth events.) 9:20 - 9:30 : Snowball Earth (Sturtian Glaciation) (The first of the 2 worldwide glaciation events in the late proterozoic. This gave the earth at the time the name "Snowball Earth") 9:33 - 9:35 : Snowball Earth (Marinoan Glaciation) (The last of the 2 worldwide glaciation events. The end of this event would have the most rapid oxygen rise in history (1% - 6% in 9.5MYA) and also would mark the end of the Cryogenian period.) 9:30 : First animals (The first complex non-microscopic multicellular life appears around this time.) 9:40 : Formation of Pannotia (Pannotia, meaning “South Land”, are the 2 halves of Rodinia moving southward, hence the name “South Land”) 9:51 : A New Eon (The end of the Ediacaran period marks a new eon, the Phanerozoic.) 10:10 : First Tetrapods (The Devonian period marks the point when animals were dwelling on land.) 10:20 - 10:38 : Karoo Glaciation (This glaciation, although not as serious as others, would be the 2nd longest glaciation ever. As well as a rapid increase of oxygen, to the point of the highest oxygen in the atmosphere ever (32% in the Carboniferous period.)) 10:26 : Formation of Pangea (Pangea, is the largest known supercontinent. It would split into Gondwana and Laurasia, but not before staying together for another 145 million years.) 10:28 : Synapsids and Sauropsids diverge (Synapsids (proto-mammals) and Sauropsids (early reptiles) would diverge.) 10:36 : First warm-blooded animals (in general) (Warm-blooded animals are thought to evolve and come around during the end of the Permian Period.) NOT FINISHED

The cameraman deserves an Oscar for floating in space for over 4,000 Million years

The music is perfect. Adds a dimension.

Sun: "Son, why are you covered in snow?" Earth: "It's not a phase, mom!"

Thank you for this...understanding this progression should be just as important as reading and writing

4:14 - oh no, he lost his leg ;(

Ah yes I loved the good old days when the air was made of *rock vapor*

best video!!! thank you Algol!!!

So much effort put into this.

Astronomy shows our insignificance in Space. Geology shows our insignificance in Time.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the amount of research and time put on this video

The true OG people remember when the days were 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds

Ive always wanted to see the Earth since its creation. Nice video

0:17 Earth: _"I'm beginning to cool down"_ 0:19 Theia: _"Give me two seconds"_

This is my 3rd time watching this. This time it took me 3 times longer because i have stopped and read everything lol. Very cool indeed. Thank you

Beautiful! ❤❤❤

This was amazing!

At 1300 Ma, I picked a piece of land and thought "hmm where will this end up in". I was able to track it down to the Solomon islands.

This video is 11 minutes long. All of human history occurs in less than a blink of an eye. Crazy.

I love every vid u make may God bless you

4:39 holy crap the music was timed perfectly with earth becoming a snowball

4:39 I love how the beat changes when the temperature changes

0:49 Green 4:32 Red 4:42 White 5:31 Red 6:12 Blue 6:13 Red 6:20 Blue 9:19 Red 9:22 White 9:31 Blue 9:33 White 9:35 Blue

I was falling asleep at the calming music, but when it changed at the red ocean I jumped 😂

This is awesome, and he credited the music!

There was a comment like, “ why was earth full of lava?” The answer is that when earth formed it was super rocky and since it formed so fast and hard it made it hot so lava formed

Some people think that geology is boring. Some pepole don't know that 2 bilion years ago there was a *literal nuclear reactor in the middle of a lake in Gabon* that stayed active for *thousands of years*! This video is some of the top tier stuff on youtube. Edit: fixed a typo

The further the past is the least detail of stages on earth was. Only how far we can find, speculate. Its very good video this. Love how all this was put together.

The best thing that was on RU-vid.

humans: wow 100 years to life is very long. earth: am i a joke to you?

8:01 we did it boys

Great video keep going

0:15 the earth is a ball of fire 0:19 theia collides with the earth 0:25 first water 0:41 first tectonic plates I like it for part 2

"Ocean turn red" Me : "Shinji, what you've done.."

Sad to see how short the ICE AGE was.

Beautiful...can I have the last frame to print as a poster? The "today" poster

algol why was the equator darker at some points and complety red at other points what is it supposed to show explain please

I can't believe the satelite recorded earth for 5 billion years.

i'm scared to blink and miss 100 years

Fascinant!!

The length of day gives you a better sense of a countdown than the years does.

You’re back! We missed you! And your amazing content! Edit: this video is the ultimate manifestation of your amazing research, work, and animation skills! 100/10 👏

11:07 India was like: *Lemme park over here*

Camera man never dies

So cool❤❤ can you make history and future of earth? It would be nice to do that.

Imagine how fresh the air was back then
