7:06 - Far from being still or quiet, the ice-covered ocean was constantly in movement, due to currents below it, but mainly due to the tidal force of the moon on both the near and far side. Tides were only a little larger than today, with around 20% higher lunar gravity on Earth's surface. Plus the Earth rotated more quickly, and so the tides were more frequent. And so, the surface of the sea ice would produce a lot of scary ice sounds, and move around a lot, like a glacier on the sea in a tidal bay. So it's wrong to think of ice-covered oceans behaving like ice on land - which is for the most part, still and quiet.
Apart from the equator and the deepest parts of the oceans the ice went all the way to the sea floor for that reason except possibly at the equator(the deepest parts would not have been big enough to have currents and the small gap at the equator might not have been too) there would be no currents.
Nice job! I just want to point out that we have fresh samples from the Earth's mantle, they are taken out by some kinds of magmas that rise up in few hours from below the Moho. They are called mantle xenoliths and are stunningly beautiful, with the lime green olivine as dominant constituent. Love them so much.
I just learned moments ago that the magma coming up from Geldingadalir in Iceland is actually from the mantle, 9 miles down. I think that's called "mafic". I love peridot, too, it's gorgeous!
Knowledge is the catalyst that stimulates the brain into realizing that everything leads to everything else. I never get tired of learning the nuances of all things. 👍🏻
Watching this makes me wonder about how the future will play out. One day, the volcanoes will erupt again; the ice will cover the earth. And what will humanity look like when that happens. We truly live in a golden age, and we should appreciate it.
Looking at prehistoric earth, it makes me realize how insignificant we are. This doesn’t make life feel hopeless, though, it just makes me appreciate it more. It humbled me in some strange way. Edit: didn’t expect to get hardcore Christians to flood the replies lmao. Isn’t there something in there that says not to flaunt your beliefs around? I already believe in god, I don’t need lectures on not wearing wool and Lenin together or to not eat pork. I appreciate life with and without god, I’m humbled by the reality we’ve been through. I believe that god made the universe to be vast and huge (not bigger than him, for he is everything and more), he made space to exist for us to one day explore even if it seems impossible. So y’all can chill out with the rapture and fear-mongering about raptures and stuff.

this channel is absolutely fantastic. I saw the "great oxidation event" first then started watching from the start. It's really impressive what you've done with just narration and some footage and stills. There is quite a lot of information that can be difficult to follow. I'm often rewinding a bit because I didn't catch something. I think it may be easier to follow if there was also occasionally some text on the screen - for example if the narrator says "two billion years ago" showing that on the screen, or that some life combined or evolved with some other. not whole sentences but just a couple of words.
The quality of writing of these videos is very high. I don't know if people realize the incredible work it requires, the mental process blending poetic imagination and rigorous method. It's a work of art. Congratulations and deep respect.
It is lovely and refreshing to have a RUclipsr talk about the Kola Bore Hole without spouting absolute rubbish about 'sounds from hell' or showing images from things with not the slightest relevance to the bore hole, like open cast mines in Canada for instance.
@@dognini Considering this particular story was specifically created by a Swedish (I think? Nordic at least) teacher who wanted to show to his students how easily a fake story could go viral, chances that it's true are rather astonishingly small.
You have outstanding content. Really well done. You deserve much more than a RUclips channel. I've watched a lot of your docs, just happened to finally comment on this one before even watching it.
So, I got at your channels by way of Pete's HT stuff, and I am SO grateful that I found both of you. You both have amazing vocal talent, and I enjoy the variations on the history theme, from VOTP to the newer World and Universal timelines. I've already got Magellan and Curiosity Stream, thanks to you guys. I really hope you both continue in this vein, and are well compensated for your efforts. Cheers.
I judge some of these streaming and/or learning channels (not YT) by the variety and quality of hard-science documentaries, and the great majority of them are wanting. I absolutely LOVE this series! I've watched these "episodes" over and over. Great imagery, writing, narration, no obnoxious music or speculation -- much appreciated!
The music combined with the writing, imagery and narration in this... its just absolutely superb. This was not only informative and educational but also relaxing. I feel as though I have just had a brain massage :)
Have you all sold your documentaries to Netflix yet? These are so well done and enjoyable to watch. Better than a lot that are playing on some of the major nature/history/science media sources
I just stumbled over this channel and insta-subbed. I very much appreciate you listing sources and provide links for further reading. While being standard in the scientific community, it is unfortunately quite uncommon for youtube channels. Also, the presentation entertains quite well. Greetings from Germany.
I just have to thank the producers of this series.I was amazed at how they went into depth on explanation and kept the technical aspects on a level that all could apprehend. This program was very entertaining and informative to words that are seldom paired when dealing with such a topic as this.I thank you for your hard work to give us such a great documentary. I beg you to keep up the Great work .
@@owenshebbeare2999 Take a joke, buddy. It wasn't an attack on the British pronunciation, nor was it a complaint. People are allowed to find humor in harmless things like that.
Wow! I don’t know how to search comments for keywords, so hadn’t seen your comment when i wrote mine. I’ll leave mine up just so you can read it and see how closely they match.
This has always confused me. It was called the space race, not the race to the moon. It's true the soviets didn't get to the moon first, but they most definitely won the race by getting to space sooner.
Wonderful as always. I know a lot of this stuff, but you always uncover bits of research, discoveries, and stories of individual researchers I don't know about, and the art and language you use make it a lyrical meditation as well as one of the most informative documentary series out there. It reminds me of the wonder I felt watching the original Cosmos with my parents when it first aired. I wish Carl Sagan himself could see this; he'd be delighted.
I just love the beautiful pictures you paint with your words on your introductions. I watch your videos at least twice. Once without watching the video and just imagining what is there. Then I watch the video to see how far off I was. Lol
I adore your fabulous work. As historian and sociologist of science I especially enjoy how you frame your video essays with the context of discovery. Chapeau from Geneva, Switzerland.
Quit tripping! WHAT WAS IT LIKE ON GHAYAH (earth) BEFORE THE LAST ICE AGE!?!?!? That is the eye-opening question westerners avoid. Why keep skipping over the MEGAFAUNA AGE? Why do we know more about so-called dinosaurs than the mammalian MEGAFAUNASORS??? Darwinazis don’t want you to go there.
I appreciate that you explain the examples of modern historical events that lead to the conclusions that are portrayed. This gives more credence to the theories that are produced, and then conveyed here. Rather than just 'Taking your word for it.' Thank you, very enjoyable to watch.
I've heard that more recently the theory is that some heavier elements such as uranium were actually most likely formed in neutron star mergers and not in supernovas themselves. It doesn't make a major difference for the purposes here, as the point is that almost all uranium on Earth was created at the same time billions of years ago, but the closer details and theories of nucleosynthesis might be worth exploring more closely in the later episodes of the sister series on the history of the universe.
@@vhawk1951kl As opposed to..........??????? It would depend on who is saying it. I'd be much more inclined to believe a true scientist as opposed to any politician.
Hello, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10
I see lots of “who cares” comments. Most of which seem to want to see something more recent than 2 billion years. Well, to them I say: The channel is called “The History of Earth” it started with the literal beginning of earth and is working its way up to more recent things, IN ORDER! Such a model will insure that this channel has content for year and years to come, and will indeed get to more recent history, in time. Be patient. This is actually fascinating stuff and I adore this channel and the History of the Universe.
Fascinating as always. We are part of this quite rare planetary adventure of *life* , hopefully we will learn and not cause yet another mass extinction, of which we'd be among the victims.
Can you imagine 12km above you from now, of sediment of the future. That is how amazing these finds are. Mind blowing. We can only guess how many civilizations of sentient species could have evolved and perished since. Perhaps even on Earth itself.
The problem with that is our sun. Earth will likely be uninhabitable as we know it in around 800 million years. So maybe 4km is about all they're going to see.
@@zelwinters1981 Wrong, in approx. 1 million years the oxygen level in the atmosphere will not be enough to support any life, apart from simple organisms (i.e. 21% oxygen today, if it drops to 19.5% humans and large animals are gone, down to 14% and life as we know it, is gone. The sun expanding can be avoided by becoming multi planetary species, question is can we do that in 1 million years or less.
Life finds a way. Life as we know it today won't survive, but it will evolve as the planet adapts. Some estimates put life on Earth pushing into 1-3 billion years into the future until water is gone. 1 million years is a drop in the ocean of planetary timescales.
@@zelwinters1981 Indeed, it is intriguing to discuss these possibilities eh i do think if we get our act together and move past tribalism and war, we as a species have the potential to outlive the earth and the sun.
Thanks so much for these videos. I love this channel, so informative, clear, comprehensive and well written... a delight for anyone fascinated by geology!
Yet another exquisite video from the History of the Earth! I'm glad you mention the Gunflint Range. The Superior region has a fascinating geological history. It's fortunate that the range survived, given the formation of the Midcontinent Rift System since the rift formed very close to the Gunflint Chert.
I really love the whole staging of this video. Every piece is perfect. Very, very high quality work. You need more exposure. Can you tell me what music you have used around 12:00?
The first human-made object to touch the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2, on 13 September 1959. The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.
All brought to you by the "socialism" of low cost or free education provided to the returning WW2 vets who went from being warriors to become the most productive cadre of scientists and engineers the world has ever seen. Their payroll taxes repaid the investment society made in them 10 times over. And then came Reagan, who didn't see how paying it forward was going to benefit him and his donors. Profits are reported quarterly and if kids want an education then let them pay for it? Need a loan? I'll introduce you to my banker. "Have a cigar! You're gonna go far! Btw, which one's Pink?" F$#k Republicans.
I just stumbled on this channel, I'm so happy I did. I grew up at the end of the USA vs. the USSR races. Looking back it was a very productive competition. Even keeping politics a little out of it. I forgot about the digging competition,I'm glad it's provening worthwhile. To bad China ,meaning the CCP can't separate itself from politics ,their loss, honestlyI'm glad.. Russia is on board the ISS, I always look at that as a mini country without killing each other.
Its just stock footage. Any premium subscription to that service will get you the same results. Its not magic. The spoken part is just history that is already written. Pick up a book
@@vuetoob3983 honestly, this has become the general problem of “educational videos” on RUclips, it bastardizes any actual education by only going over surface level understandings of subject matters in general, ones that have been written about a thousand times on books.
Mr. Narrator: you have a terrific voice and accent - and your clear, measured pacing of speech could be of benefit to English Second Language learners. Thank you.
Yay! I'm so happy you posted this video! I was starting to worry that "History of the Universe" had replaced this channel. That series is also fantastic, but I was like, we haven't finished the entire history of Earth yet 😢 Anyway, this was another amazing episode! Thank you so much for all of the hard work you guys put into these videos!
The timescales under examination are simply stupendous. Incomprehensible to the human mind. I find the entire approach therapeutic, finally I understand something important about the sweeping, grand arc of the universe. In this, is peace.
The guy recently elected to head the DUP in Northern Ireland reckons the earth is 6,000 years old. So, if he's right, everything on this channel is lies and misinformation..... I know, you just can't make this stuff up! If it wasn't so sad i'd die laughing. Super praise to the makers of these superb shows. Perhaps they can convince these dangerous crackpots.
@@ghostlyenigma680 We don't have a monopoly on it, but we are leading the pack. We even have those who were (still are???) waiting in Dallas for JFK Jr to return to help the man-child Trump and his cast of inbreds usher in a new man-child Trump presidency. I tell you, you can't make it up.
PS I usually skip ads, but listened through all so as not to 'waste' any of your superb narration. "The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue" - you're a pronunciation master.
The Soviets helped geological surveys to an incredible degree in general. To this day there's abandoned storages in Siberia with millions of valuable samples
@@vhawk1951kl I actually did, meanwhile you're subbed to PJW and Fox News. You're in no position to talk about any person on the planet being any farther sunken into pseudoscience & hearsay in favour of extremist politics.
@@Argacyan That's so cool! I really hope Putin gets done away with soon, so that there can be peace with Russia again and the scientific cooperation can commence.
Thank you so much for sharing such fascinating videos about the mysteries of the universe! I'm always in awe of the wonders that exist beyond our planet.
Love this vid. Australia is seen as the "oldest" continent. Certainly north-west Oz is truly primitive, geologically speaking. Oz is moving north at a rate slower that any other continent. Even the whole of EurAsia is moving faster than Oz. Stromatolites, once thought to be extinct, can only be found in north-western Australia.
Anyone else watch this kinda stuff and instantly want to travel through time and watch this all happen in a speed run. Like what they did in that episode of futurama lol, just to see it all happen
The Soviets arguably won the Space Race when it comes to "firsts". The manned moon landing was pretty much the only aspect the USA did first and afterwards moved the goal posts to "that has always been the declared goal of the Space Race actually".
This also makes me imagine a plot for a movie or a game... 2 billion years ago, while exploring this part of the space, some alliens stumbled upon this planet. Due to some accident, they got stuck here. Aliens in a bid to escape from earth maybe made this "Natural" arrangement to power whatever ultra-vehicle they had. Imagining just for fun...😁
Creationists can only go back 6,000 years. It's hard for them to wrap their minds around the vastly longer time frame. And they are under the delusion the Grand Canyon was formed in a matter of days. Strange but true.
Some creationists. The "Young Earth" model of creationism favoured only by some Christians is just one model. Most of us are mad Bible-Belt Americans. I am not a Creationist myself, though most scientists with any credibility will admit to there being much mystery if not necessarily looking to any faith for trite answers.
It takes more faith to believe in what some “experts” are spouting about occurrences from billions and billions of years ago than it does in God. None of these guys can even wrap their heads around a billion years since they’ve only been around for a few decades before they stop breathing some day.
@@hhvictor2462 for me, it’s a personal spiritual experience based on the Bible’s reaching my inner conscious. I have also personally had prophetic dreams that have then happened well beyond coincidence and several times, not just once. So I can’t prove God’s existence, but you can’t disprove He exists either since spiritual things are invisible to man’s physical realm. Just the concept of an endless universe speaks about things going way beyond our perceptions of what is real and what isn’t. How can something have no beginning or ending, you’re lying if you can say you grasp that fact.
9:30 : It is no longer thought that supernovae produce significant quantities of any elements heavier than iron. Heavier elements such as gold and uranium are most likely produced by collisions between pairs of neutron stars.
It gave me a pang of anxiety, to be honest, since I’m so fed up with evangelicals commandeering RUclips and other social media to proselytize on creationism, reproductive rights, etc. But “Apres le Deluge” is a literary and painterly allusion to generic catastrophes and renewal, modeled metaphorically, not devotionally, on Noah-the chump god dumped in a smelly zoo on a soggy mountain. Good lord?

I'm often rewinding a bit because I didn't catch something. I think it may be easier to follow if there was also occasionally some text on the screen - for example if the narrator says "two billion years ago" showing that on the screen, or that some life combined or evolved with some other. not whole sentences but just a couple of words.
The quality of writing of these videos is very high. I don't know if people realize the incredible work it requires, the mental process blending poetic imagination and rigorous method. It's a work of art.
Congratulations and deep respect.
It is lovely and refreshing to have a RUclipsr talk about the Kola Bore Hole without spouting absolute rubbish about 'sounds from hell' or showing images from things with not the slightest relevance to the bore hole, like open cast mines in Canada for instance.
@@dognini Hahaha haha. And you call yourself Wisdom? Hahahahaha
You’re in for a rude awakening.
Cola Bore Hole, thought that was an early teens' room after several weeks of forced stay at home because of Corona outbreak at school
@@dognini Considering this particular story was specifically created by a Swedish (I think? Nordic at least) teacher who wanted to show to his students how easily a fake story could go viral, chances that it's true are rather astonishingly small.
You're wrong if you go down the hole you go to hell.
You have outstanding content. Really well done. You deserve much more than a RUclips channel. I've watched a lot of your docs, just happened to finally comment on this one before even watching it.
It's really refreshing to watch an educational and informative video where the majority of comments aren't dumb jokes and memes.
So, I got at your channels by way of Pete's HT stuff, and I am SO grateful that I found both of you. You both have amazing vocal talent, and I enjoy the variations on the history theme, from VOTP to the newer World and Universal timelines. I've already got Magellan and Curiosity Stream, thanks to you guys. I really hope you both continue in this vein, and are well compensated for your efforts.
Cheers.
I judge some of these streaming and/or learning channels (not YT) by the variety and quality of hard-science documentaries, and the great majority of them are wanting. I absolutely LOVE this series! I've watched these "episodes" over and over. Great imagery, writing, narration, no obnoxious music or speculation -- much appreciated!
The music combined with the writing, imagery and narration in this... its just absolutely superb. This was not only informative and educational but also relaxing. I feel as though I have just had a brain massage :)
Have you all sold your documentaries to Netflix yet? These are so well done and enjoyable to watch. Better than a lot that are playing on some of the major nature/history/science media sources
I just stumbled over this channel and insta-subbed. I very much appreciate you listing sources and provide links for further reading. While being standard in the scientific community, it is unfortunately quite uncommon for youtube channels. Also, the presentation entertains quite well. Greetings from Germany.
Shout out to the camera man who was able to record this for billions of years
I’m sure it was a team effort not just one guy. No one could carry that many batteries by themselves
Yikes how do they know all these details from looking at rocks?
@@bugman7579 Geology is not the study of "looking" at rocks. Geology uses Chemistry to study the History of material formations of Earth.
Maybe it was bear grills the big fake.
@BASSdelight Please, climb by into your baby crib.
I just have to thank the producers of this series.I was amazed at how they went into depth on explanation and kept the technical aspects on a level that all could apprehend. This program was very entertaining and informative to words that are seldom paired when dealing with such a topic as this.I thank you for your hard work to give us such a great documentary. I beg you to keep up the Great work .

This has always confused me. It was called the space race, not the race to the moon. It's true the soviets didn't get to the moon first, but they most definitely won the race by getting to space sooner.
As a geochemist ocean drilling data is a gold mine for me.☺️
Fantastic video! Can't wait to watch the rest of this series
Well done story arc, great narration, fantastic informational content.
Thank you.
Wonderful as always. I know a lot of this stuff, but you always uncover bits of research, discoveries, and stories of individual researchers I don't know about, and the art and language you use make it a lyrical meditation as well as one of the most informative documentary series out there. It reminds me of the wonder I felt watching the original Cosmos with my parents when it first aired. I wish Carl Sagan himself could see this; he'd be delighted.
I just love the beautiful pictures you paint with your words on your introductions. I watch your videos at least twice. Once without watching the video and just imagining what is there. Then I watch the video to see how far off I was. Lol
@@Bensven you are right. It's older than that.
Very eloquent. A linguistic work of art!
I adore your fabulous work. As historian and sociologist of science I especially enjoy how you frame your video essays with the context of discovery. Chapeau from Geneva, Switzerland.
Doesn't chapeau mean hat?
@@markfox1545 It also means "I salute you in high respect".

How is someone a sociologist of science? Sociology is the study of people/culture/society
I appreciate that you explain the examples of modern historical events that lead to the conclusions that are portrayed. This gives more credence to the theories that are produced, and then conveyed here. Rather than just 'Taking your word for it.' Thank you, very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks

Love your work and look forward to your new uploads, thank you
Thank you for this video, the work done here is appreciated.
I've heard that more recently the theory is that some heavier elements such as uranium were actually most likely formed in neutron star mergers and not in supernovas themselves. It doesn't make a major difference for the purposes here, as the point is that almost all uranium on Earth was created at the same time billions of years ago, but the closer details and theories of nucleosynthesis might be worth exploring more closely in the later episodes of the sister series on the history of the universe.
From what I understand I think both can form uranium but that the neutron star mergers produce it in higher quantities.

Hello, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10
Magnificent as always, well done and thank you.
I see lots of “who cares” comments. Most of which seem to want to see something more recent than 2 billion years. Well, to them I say:
The channel is called “The History of Earth” it started with the literal beginning of earth and is working its way up to more recent things, IN ORDER! Such a model will insure that this channel has content for year and years to come, and will indeed get to more recent history, in time. Be patient. This is actually fascinating stuff and I adore this channel and the History of the Universe.
This documentary is amazing!! It has this good quality, am your new subscriber. Thanks for making this video
Fascinating as always. We are part of this quite rare planetary adventure of *life* , hopefully we will learn and not cause yet another mass extinction, of which we'd be among the victims.
Your voice, accent, and clarity of speech are ideal for this kind of post.
Geezers erupt a lot more than that cmon!
Can you imagine 12km above you from now, of sediment of the future. That is how amazing these finds are. Mind blowing. We can only guess how many civilizations of sentient species could have evolved and perished since. Perhaps even on Earth itself.
The problem with that is our sun.
Earth will likely be uninhabitable as we know it in around 800 million years. So maybe 4km is about all they're going to see.
@@zelwinters1981 Wrong, in approx. 1 million years the oxygen level in the atmosphere will not be enough to support any life, apart from simple organisms (i.e. 21% oxygen today, if it drops to 19.5% humans and large animals are gone, down to 14% and life as we know it, is gone. The sun expanding can be avoided by becoming multi planetary species, question is can we do that in 1 million years or less.
Life finds a way. Life as we know it today won't survive, but it will evolve as the planet adapts. Some estimates put life on Earth pushing into 1-3 billion years into the future until water is gone.
1 million years is a drop in the ocean of planetary timescales.
@@zelwinters1981 Indeed, it is intriguing to discuss these possibilities eh i do think if we get our act together and move past tribalism and war, we as a species have the potential to outlive the earth and the sun.

Yet another exquisite video from the History of the Earth! I'm glad you mention the Gunflint Range. The Superior region has a fascinating geological history. It's fortunate that the range survived, given the formation of the Midcontinent Rift System since the rift formed very close to the Gunflint Chert.
I really love the whole staging of this video. Every piece is perfect. Very, very high quality work. You need more exposure. Can you tell me what music you have used around 12:00?
Comforting voice, interesting visuals, and well researched stories...

This channel does a fantastic job at making me feel small but part of this fascinating world
The first human-made object to touch the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2, on 13 September 1959. The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.
All brought to you by the "socialism" of low cost or free education provided to the returning WW2 vets who went from being warriors to become the most productive cadre of scientists and engineers the world has ever seen. Their payroll taxes repaid the investment society made in them 10 times over. And then came Reagan, who didn't see how paying it forward was going to benefit him and his donors. Profits are reported quarterly and if kids want an education then let them pay for it? Need a loan? I'll introduce you to my banker.

Creationists can only go back 6,000 years. It's hard for them to wrap their minds around the vastly longer time frame. And they are under the delusion the Grand Canyon was formed in a matter of days. Strange but true.
Some creationists. The "Young Earth" model of creationism favoured only by some Christians is just one model. Most of us are mad Bible-Belt Americans. I am not a Creationist myself, though most scientists with any credibility will admit to there being much mystery if not necessarily looking to any faith for trite answers.
It takes more faith to believe in what some “experts” are spouting about occurrences from billions and billions of years ago than it does in God. None of these guys can even wrap their heads around a billion years since they’ve only been around for a few decades before they stop breathing some day.
@@dudex2450 Set aside "faith" and demonstrate compelling evidence for the existence of "God." Let's see you do that.
@@hhvictor2462 for me, it’s a personal spiritual experience based on the Bible’s reaching my inner conscious. I have also personally had prophetic dreams that have then happened well beyond coincidence and several times, not just once. So I can’t prove God’s existence, but you can’t disprove He exists either since spiritual things are invisible to man’s physical realm. Just the concept of an endless universe speaks about things going way beyond our perceptions of what is real and what isn’t. How can something have no beginning or ending, you’re lying if you can say you grasp that fact.
@@dudex2450 So you have ZERO evidence. Got it. And wtf does "spiritual" even mean???
