13 Billion Years



Eight years ago, John D. Boswell, known as Melodysheep brought us a timelapse of the entire universe, from the big bang to the present time. I posted it, but the video has been yanked because it has now been completely reworked in Boswell's own style and words. The earlier film was a pastiche of video from various sources with celebrity narration. This is the same idea, with upgraded visuals, music, and narration by EpicSpaceMan (Toby Lockerbie). 

The story is ten minutes that represent 13 billion years of history. That means that every second covers 23 million years. Human beings don't show up at all until the last fraction of a second. But that doesn't mean there's no drama. A lot of things are happening while you try to wrap your head around the scope of time. I recommend watching in full screen mode. (via Memo of the Air
