What If We Traveled One Billion Years Into the Past?

Imagine if you could take in all of human history in the blink of an eye. Well, from the first steps on the moon to the first steps out of the slime, that's exactly what we are in cosmic terms. But in that short amount of time, we have done quite a bit. If you could travel through time, you could witness the rise and fall of the many species that existed long before we were here. What would you see if you traveled one billion years into the past? Did Earth ever look like a giant slushball? How far back would you have to go to see the first humans? And, are we already going extinct? Would you need to go through a wormhole or perhaps travel faster than the speed of light? Watch as history unfolds in front of your eyes.

6:53 this one decided to walk out of the water, and now I have to go to work to pay all my bills.

[animedrobot]

Damn man. The suspense that you create by saying "well, that's a story for another what if". Man I can't stop watching because every single time at the end of the video, you say that and I don't know why I get so curious about the topic

[alvin]

Universe - i am the oldest!

Cameraman - Hold my beer 😂

[muhammadshahzaib]

this man has mastered the art of pushing adds in videos without boring us.

[just-justice-here]

The camera that travel back in time to give us this shots deserves a medal

What if we traveled back 1 billion years
*What if subs=0
What if : No, come back ..please

[georaju]

Remebering Dark ..what a masterpiece of show

[Xeno_Bardock]

Plot twist. Time traveler finds earth is smaller in size, gravity is weaker, moon is missing and earth is orbiting a red dwarf star.

[amandaquezada]

I didn't know that there were so many extinction events! This is why I love science... You learn something new every day.

[superaddy]

One thing for sure, there would be no " What If " for 1 billion year.

[Maya-bdie]

Usually I am annoying the people around me asking questions this channel finally gives me the answers to, it’s like this is exactly made for me🤭😂

[Porygon]

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.

[josiahmcdunning]

It wouldn't really matter for us in my opinion, one billion years in either direction for us would most likely be the exact same outcome. No earth, no wars, no suffering, no tik tok cancer 🙌
Sounds blissful.

[ryanmax-grappler]

When I grow up up I want to be a camera man. He has near infinite life. Magic powers and can survive anything

[padmanandakumar]

What if- You can see smoke going back into smokestacks and see objects reversed through time
Nolan- Write that

[lorenisthebestfr]

I told my teacher about this channel and now we are gonna watch it and this video so yeah hi class!!!

[katofrie]

Does anyone else find it weird to call it the year 2021, when humanity has been around for 200, 000 years...

[tejpalreddysama]

Finally I get to see voice over artist in two years ...

[charlesdingus]

What happens if we went to 1 billion years into the future? Will we become mad on seeing so much things our brain couldn’t understand
