    Hi everybody! Thanks so much for watching. Couple of *corrections* At one point in the video the word million sounds like the word billion. And the Canadian Shield got mixed up for the Rockies. Apologies!

      History of the Earth My favorites would be all of it, and I'm in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. I guess I will be a little more excited when it reaches the Paleozoic Era. And I hope it takes a few episodes to get to the Permian Period, because this Old-life era is the least covered of all in other productions I've seen. I trust that I will like it all, as I am already. Thanks again.

    I for one remember those early days of earth with great fondness. It wasn't nearly as bad as the narrator makes it out to be. Sure, there were the occasional asteroid bombardment on the way to school, and the lack of breathable air or sustenance of any kind may not sound that cushy to you modern kids, but we didn't need luxuries like that. We had gneiss rocks to play with and a giant, nightmare inducing moon to look at at night. Those were simpler times..

  • @ericodijk
    @ericodijk 4 года назад +90

    Beautifully done. The Acasta Gneiss might truly be the oldest rock to be found. It does include zircons, which themselves had to be formed prior to that. Mind this: in Australia there are zircons that reach back probably 4.4 billion years, much much older.
    For zircons to form, the presence of some water in liquid form is needed. This means that at 4.4 billion years ago, the surface temperature on Earth had already dropped below the boiling point of water. It may have gone up and down a few times (late heavy bombardment etc) but new scientific evidence shows that the real hell lasted for maybe only the first 100 to 130 million years.
    Then again: your movie skills, narrating and feel for creating a good documentary are top.

      That bothered me too. Mountains tend to be-by their very nature-young. The Canadian Shield is old in large part because it has not been disturbed by plate tectonics and volcanism. The area of the Slave craton, where the Acasta Gneiss is found, is scraped nearly flat, and there are no mountains to be seen in any direction.

      Not really. Venus has a very thick atmosphere. What I can gather is that it was once covered by an ocean very much like ours, but that it boiled off and escaped while volcanism replaced the lighter gases in the atmosphere like oxygen due to the lack of a mag field, spin and tides. So basically it is as if our oceans moved up into the sky and got replaced with sulphur and CO2, while our old atmosphere vented into outer space. Then we almost stopped spinning, before the moon left us and took the kids. Fortunately nothing like that has ever happened here, nor is it particularly likely to.

    The moon is not drifting away, it is being lifted higher each year by its increasing orbital energy, which is subtracted from the Earths angular momentum. The moon is forced into a higher orbit by its tidal interaction with the ocean, causing the length of the Earths day to increase by slowing its rotation.
