"Will you look into PBS Eons?"
"what will I see?"
"Things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass..."
That line goes pretty hard
I cannot “like” this comment enough. 🙂
@@anthonyhiggins7409I can't gag enough on the cheeze.
@@infinitemonkey917 what can I say? Some people just like cheese.. 🤷♂️😆
I love this comment, and despair.
Anyone remember The Future is Wild?
thanks for reminding me of It!
If you liked The Future Is Wild you should check out C.M. Koseman's All Tomorrows and All Yesterdays
adored that program. have you read "After Man" by Dougal Dixon?
Yep
Me!
People always say that living forever would suck, but it’s my curiosity about these sorts of things that make me disagree.
I still think living "forever" would suck. If you mean "forever" in cosmic terms. If we're just defining "forever" as "significantly longer lived than any other living thing that's come before", then I agree it'd be fun for a while.
Those people lack imagination.
Living forever as we are today with our limited cognitive abilities would drive us insane pretty soon.
You would grow tired , tired of the struggle, tired of watching everything you know and love turn to dust
rip to everyone else in the replies, but ME TOO!! even if i wasn't actively participating, just being able to watch what happens and how the universe continues to develop, getting to answer all of the questions i have about how things happen and will happen - ideally, if there is an afterlife, it's spectator mode.
The hopping snails in the vast desert, the squids that live in the lichen forests, the oceans that are filled with fish-sized crusteceans and the flying fishes that dominated the skies, the future is indeed wild.
This episode brought back memories of The Future is Wild! 😂
Is that the one with the Super-sized Man-o-Wars called the Reef Glider, the Sapient Squid monkeys, and the Torratons?
@@roys.1889that's the one!
Yes.
@@roys.1889
Omg me too! One word: FLISH
This is even further beyond!
The Future is Wild stopped at 200 Million Years
"Amasia" looks like a pun in portuguese - as if the continent are "amasiados" (meaning they became lovers)
Also, Amaze-ia!
It's a Portuguese plot! They're planning on world domination!
Bom dia
Do que raio estão a falar? Nunca ouvi tal coisa
Eu cresci com "amantigado". Parece que foi barrado com manteiga.
May PBS Eons last 100 million years! ❤
... under different management
Imagine if they actually existed for 1 million years
@@scorpiovenator_4736GODZILLA will Out Live STAR WARS.
Maximum 30 years
I have been a PBS fan since the trouble with trilobites. I was in high school then. Now i major in geology starting undergrad research on divergent boundary chemistry. Thank you for the inspiration you kept me excited when it was hard
Very cool!
I learned from Star Trek: Voyager that mankind will evolve into salamanders.
Lol weird episode that was
Spoiler alert smh
Failed rift valley in the US? Can you do an episode on that and other similar terrain features in the future?
They already did that.
@@AndrewTBPwhat vid
Eons has come full circle, looking at the past to looking at the present now to looking at the future
@normanmendez636 - I hope this doesn't mean they are closing up shop!
This episode reminded me of The Future is Wild. What a trip down memory lane ❤
6:20 "We're getting the band back together"
Can't wait for the Pangea Reunion Album to drop!
Ah, something Professor Ramirez hasn't heard before. Multituberculates were an extinct group of allotherian mammals that filled the niche now filled by rodents starting from Mid-Jurassic all the way to Late Eocene. Some of the more famous example like _Kamptobaatar_ and _Djadochtatherium_ were found in late Cretaceous Mongolia, while _Cimolodon_ (famously snatched by _Stenonychosaurus_ on the 'Ice World' episode of Prehistoric Planet) was from late Cretaceous USA. I'll be honest were it not for NatGeo's Gobi Expedition in early-to-mid 1990s to study the paleoecology of Djadokhta Formation and Nemegt Formation I wouldn't have known of Multituberculata mammals.
Thank you for explaining that!
Yeah I wanted to know what _multituberculates_ were more than the answer. 😂
The come up repeatedly on the common descent podcast
@AntoniusTyas - Thank you. So, sort of like pre-rodent rodents. I'll go re-watch that "Prehistoric Planet" episode now and let Mr Attenborough get me excited to see life as it was 66,000,000 ya !
"Allotherian" meaning that they weren't placental but they were closely related to placentals.
Kinda wish this was a much longer video there’s a lot of speculation that could be interesting to see.
"We're getting the band back together."
"We're on a mission from Gwondana."
The fact that we missed cat-sized horses makes me sad.
Have you heard of Thumbelina the Horse? She was a mini Horse with dwarfism.
I've been waiting for a video like this for so long! I love hypothesizing about the distant future.... Thank you!!! 💜💙💚
check on Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur. You might like it.
So I guess now we'll need an episode about multituberculates (by Michelle obviously)
If even Michelle can't easily say multituberculates, there's no hope for me
Multi(ee) Tuber Cue Late's
this was a fascinating episode. great work, eons team!
More future spec please! It makes me feel better about the systems collapse we're all living through - knowing that no matter what, life will persist, and all kinds of unknown beings will inevitably flourish again.
I live on the border of gondwana with many footprints in ancient sand that has been now forced vertical. In Florida you can scuba dive to the old coastline during the ice age. Based on this channel, the only thing you can count on is something will be shaped like a crab.
😂
The future is wild moment
When the octopus went to land and evolved into separate species, one of which began swinging from trees 😂
@@Spongebrain97 Octopuses died out in the 100 myf mass extinction presumably, as the squibbon and megasquid are squid as evident by having 2 tentacles and 8 legs. Though, to be fair, the series did imply that the swampus evolved into the terasquid like how amniotes descend from "amphibian" tetrapods.
It's just uncertain
Thank y'all for these amazingly informative and entertaining videos.
Love this channel! ❤
I really enjoyed this episode it is right up there with some of, my favourite episodes that everyone involved has made. Well done Eons team❤
4:58 other nearby rifts are growing faster than the one in East Africa, so it’s not likely to split off. Neither are the others, since Africa is on a collision course with southern Europe which will close the Mediterranean.
Mediterranean salt desert, here we come!
@@bloodypigeon More like the Mediterranean Mountains, since the closing of the Mediterranean will result in Africa and Europe colliding , pushing up a new Himalaya-sized mountain range.
@@patricklee5239 I believe "The Future is Wild" agrees with us both.
yay another pbs eons video i've been shaken and sweating not getting my fix,
That multituberculate will come back to haunt us in our dreams.
Multiyoutuberculate...
Meh multi RUclips chocolate it is.
What great idea for a video. Loved it. Thank you.
So cool! Thank you for making this video!
Loved this video, thank you
It's still so crazy to me that the continents, the biggest land masses on earth, move!!! Like intellectually I understand why, but there is till a part of me that doesn't understand how they aren't bolted down!
yay this was cool would love to see more on this topic
I actually did get the trivia question correct, and our narrator is also really genuine and cute!
Thank you ❤
Totally unrelated to the topic at hand, but I love your outfit in this video! The earrings are so pretty!
I just love you guys! Every time I want to relax and think about something else, I visit your channel and your high-quality videos open my mind! Thanks!
Another great EONS video! 🥰
This is a fantastic episode and really interesting.
Also remember that the Sun is slowly getting warmer as it fuses its hydrogen and while that process is very slow it means it will be about 3% brighter in 300 million years. While that may not seem much it will have a huge impact on the climate of the earth, eventually leading to all oceans evaporating in about a billion years from now.
I kept thinking carnivorans for the trivia answer, but right at the last sentence of the blooper, I got a flash of inspiration and guessed right! Well, probably more remembered than guessed, given the content I watch on YT
Love it! Love this show! Love all you guys talking science, it lit my day!
Getting rid of Florida? There must be a downside too?
An episode on multituberculates now seems mandatory -- PBS Eons can't just drop something like that and leave us hanging!
Awesome content!!
This is what i want to see yessss
I'm still getting ready for the ice age they warned us about in the 1980s.
This was a cool video. Thanks!
We must have more Eons more often!
Thank you
As fascinating as stuff like this is, I kind of miss when we had more Eons episodes about specific extinct animals.
Makes me wish the Future is Wild got more seasons
I could listen to her voice all night long
This gurl does it for me
Loved seeing my favourite local climbing spots featured in Eons! Palisade Head and Shovel Point in Tettegouche State Park along Lake Superior!
Amazing!
300 million years is longer than modern human civilization. We’ll either all be dead or we’ll have successfully colonized other planets..interesting video
We'll have evolved into a different species who knows how many times over by that point.
Humans invented civilization about 10,000 years ago. That's like, 2 seconds ago in geologic time.
300 million years is about 1000 times longer than our species has existed.
We’ll be dead
To say it is longer is an understatement. If our descendants are still alive 300 million years from now, they will be totally unrecognicable compared to us.
@@darth856We will have (provided that we don't nuke ourselves) evolved into machine intelligence long long before that!
One sad episode of the Future is Wild, all the mammalian species have all but disappeared, leaving only a tiny rodent like mammal eking out a living in the dark and being prayed on by spiders😢
prEyed on. And, no offense, it was a funny typo. I visualized a spider church, too.
@@istvansipos9940 haha, just noticed it. Thanks for pointing it out. Will leave it unedited and perhaps make others laugh
I love this channel so much! I think I'm going to try to get a PHD in paleontology.
As well; could you do more videos on ancient bats and how certain traits evolved in them? They're really cool, peculiar creatures, and I'd love to know more about how they came to be. 😊 🦇
When you mentioned that North American rift it immediately reminded me of that Harry Turtledove series of novels about Atlantis.
8:39 Fossil evidence for hotsprings and other subterranean water sources?
That would be interesting! 🤔
(I've been to hotsprings in the desert)
Finally, something I have been asking (myself) for years
What would happen to Antarctica if we get an East African Ocean? How will that affect the circumpolar current that keeps cold water in place?
It looks like a bunny! 🐰😀I think we should call it Bunnyland.
I love this channel!
Gran video, debería haber una segunda parte
Thank you.
An episode, or better yet a series, on multituberculates would be excellent. Still the most long-lasting mammal group, even though they are now almost certainly extinct. Often compared to rodents, but they were probably less gnawers and more 'tweezer teeth' - a niche that doesn't really exist today among mammals.
i don't know if you have a video on that, but i'd love to understand how we actually know the path of the tectonic plates throughout earth's history
We need the planet to survive but the planet doesn't need us to survive
The planet won't survive, either. It will be getting hotter, then eventually go through a phase like Venus and at the end it will be swallowed by the son. That's just a typical lifecycle in the universe. Nothing to get excited about.
So based on this, what current landforms will exist the longest in the future?
For example, at some places really old sediments are found while in other places relatively new are found.
The SpecEvo episode! Hurray!
I would not mind it if Eons started a whole series speculating future geology and biology in more specific detail.
i adore the absolute dedication with which the end notes about invasive research carried out by colonial nations is put out. kudos guys.
Then you realize those native peoples are also colonizers in their own right (i.e. the Lakota aren't native to the Dakotas area, they invaded, colonized, and displaced the local populations around the late 18th century)
The Bantu populations of subsaharian Africa invaded, conquered and colonized the entire area from the native Khoi-San peoples in the 15th century, who have largely gone extinct as a result (with some minor exceptions in South Africa and Namibia), and the Latins and Germans completely wiped out the Celts from Europe in the 4th century
Indoeuropeans colonized Eurasia and displaced every almost local population into extinction, with some minor exceptions like the Basque
Not to mention the hundreds of human-adjacent species we completely wiped off the map by invading and conquering their lands
In the end, that's just humans being humans - there'll always be someone taking someone else's land, there's no one "more native" to a specific piece of land than the rest when we're all colonizers, there's no "culprit" or "victim" here, just humans being humans
Yes. Humans always replace other humans.
That was Amasiaing
Great explanation. Watching from INDIA
Ironic topic, since the current timeline is based on some very random moments in time.
So random in fact that we most likely wouldn't be around here to begin with.
watching this well writing a book helps to have some paleo stuff lol
I’d love to see what becomes of the Pacific Ocean, Antarctica, and the Americas in the next 100-200 million years. Watching the continents crash into each other would be wild to see as the Atlantic becomes the largest (and eventually a planet-wide) ocean.
Whenever I feel anxious about climate change and our environmental impact I turn to these videos to remind me how insignificant our time is in geological terms. Hundreds of millions of years from now, an intelligent species might learn how the world looked in past and study our civilization. "Did you know, there used to be many more (or fewer) continents 200 million years ago?," something like that.That's very exiting to think about, imo.
And now In The Year 2525 will be playing in my brain on repeat.
You're evil :P
I would love to see an episode about Lake Bonneville that used to cover most of Utah
Are there any plans on reviving the PBS podcast? Loved the format to put on in the car. But the first season have been played a few times by now
your fit make you look like a modern Alt Belle! i love it🥰
Evospec gang unite! Really nice video btw
I'm sad that I'm not going to be around to see all this come to pass.
we'll have a viable type of vampirism soon, i hope.
I'm happy not to.
@@bryaneberly3588 eh, I couldn't hang with that, it'd drive me bats.
The amount of time is just mind boggling.
Was the trivia question from THE Matt Parker?? Standup Maths is another favorite channel.
No. We share a name. But this was from me, not him.
And here was I, assuming multituberculates were some kind of potato. 🥔
The Acid Trip Episode
_[The Future Is Wild Theme Intensifies]_
This may be off topic, but your look is gorgeous on that video.
Is anybody else curious about whatever happened to Steve?
THANK YOU for including your note acknowledging indigenous peoples and their land. It's so critical.
Yep that's the important thing.
I was expecting a different rundown by the different temperature differences at the start of the video.
Man, am I really gonna miss out on those cool events? That sucks but at least my imagination can take me far enough into thinking how it might look like
Hey Eons and Eons fans. I'd like to know some more about deep time discoveries made in Ireland. Beyond the Irish Elk, which Eons has covered before, is there anything noteworthy out there?
Valentia Island has some of the oldest known trackways believed to be made by early tetrapods on land.
@@that1geekychick Thank you so much! I'll get reading 😎
All hail the rise of the Squibbons.
if there were no more vertebrates then, what's the next likeliest clade that could become the dominant megafauna?
🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀 🦀
While Arthropods as a whole is probably the best estimate, honestly I wouldn't be surprised by cephalopods either. Probably a combination of both
@@ExtremeMadnessX you can find them down at the combination arthropod cephalapod store.
The time of Cnidarian bone slimes is nigh, child. They descend from the Khorallian neogels which should arise around AD 198M~202M ±4M.
Arthropods already were for a while and could easily become again in a (geologic) heartbeat.
However having an internal skeleton is massively advantageous if you want to grow really big so something is eventually gonna end up convergently evolving a vertebrate-like skeletal structure.
Don’t forget the pull of the moon will be different since it’ll be further away than it is now and then there’s the sun that’ll get slightly brighter than it is now and this assuming we’re not hot by a meteor or a super volcano.
