4,5 миллиарда лет истории Земли всего за 40 минут в полнометражном документальном фильме.

Human history—with all its empires, world wars, great scientific discoveries, and flights to the stars—occupies less than two-tenths of a second on the merciless clock of our planet. We are accustomed to considering ourselves masters of this world, but on the scale of geological time, humanity is but a fleeting blip. The hubris of civilization dissolves when the entire history of Earth is compressed into exactly one cycle of day and night—24 hours, where each minute equals three million years of real history. In this sweeping chronicle, we will journey from the Hadean era, when the planet was a seething lava hell, through global glaciation, great catastrophes, and the triumph of the dinosaurs, to the final tick of the second hand, behind which our murky future lies. We peel back the gloss from the history of evolution and peer into the true, primordial power of nature. --- SCIENTIFIC SOURCES AND VIDEO MATERIALS: *Theia giant impact hypothesis:* Isotopic analysis of lunar soil confirms a head-on impact of a protoplanet — [Research in Science](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-...) *Endosymbiotic theory (Mitochondria):* Lynn Margulis's seminal work on the origin of eukaryotic cells — [Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology / PMC](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...) *The Great Permian Extinction:* Evidence for a causal connection Siberian Traps eruptions and biosphere burning — [A timeline of magmatism from MIT scientists](https://news.mit.edu/2015/siberian-tr...) *Chicxulub catastrophe (Death of the dinosaurs):* 3D modeling of a deadly 60-degree asteroid impact angle — [Press release from Imperial College London](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/19769...) *Regional impact effects:* Tsunamis, shock waves, and crater-scale seismic activity — [Materials of Lunar and Planetary Institute](https://www.lpi.usra.edu/science/krin...) --- TIME NAVIGATION / TIMECODES: *00:00 — Chapter 1: The Aeon of Hades and the Birth of the Moon* Midnight on the clock.
