Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/melodysheep On a cosmic time scale, human history is as brief as the blink of an eye. By compressing all 13.8 billion years of time into a 10 minute scale, this video shows just how young we truly are, and just how ancient and vast our universe is. Starting with the big bang and culminating in the appearance of homo sapiens, this experience follows the unfolding of time at 22 million years per second, adhering closely to current scientific understanding.



Narration by Brian Cox, Carl Sagan, and David Attenborough.

Concept, music, editing, sound design, and select VFX by melodysheep.

 In addition to custom footage, this video samples a large library of content from many sources, including NASA, Voyage of Time, Cosmic Voyage, Wonders of the Universe, and more. Learn more about this project at melodysheep.com/timelapse.

It can be difficult to fathom how long 13.8 billion years is. The more you watch this video, the more it sinks in just how stunningly old the universe is, and how magnificently tiny we humans are in the grand scheme. I hope seeing this experiment in humility makes you ponder the vast, unwitnessed ages that have passed before we came along, and the brevity of our existence in comparison.

Every event featured in this video is fascinating on its own, so I highly encourage anybody interested to dig deeper. Start with the Wikipedia page on geologic time and go from there to learn more about all the events featured within.

Peace and love,

melodysheep

    Don't blink you'll miss a few million years.

    No matter how many times I watch this, it touches me emotionally. Yes, please make this a full series.

    melodysheep was what really brought me the interest of astronomy. How beautiful the space is, how large it is and how mysterious it is. Stuff that really makes you think differently about reality itself...

    we will have to wait 22 million years just to add another second.

    Absolute masterpiece and cure for depression, have been watching this for over a year on repeat. Notice: How at 10:03, the last 600 million years of Earth's history are put to song, with each note of of the melody... or each "bar" I guess, not a music person so not sure... but each 100 million year cut-off mark, the note changes, six notes in total, ending at that high note at the end, each one covering exactly 100 million years. Helped me think of the Earth's history in this "metric" sense as well for a second, as generally I think of it in geological periods rather than numerical cutoffs. Crazy to think what happened in the last 100 million years... dinosaurs from the ancient world reigned from the beginning, then 40 million years through they go extinct, then the mammals take over the fresh earth, and then humans evolving only in the last percentagepoint of that timescale. Crazy.
