TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE: A Journey to the End of Time (4K)

Показать описание

We start in 2019 and travel exponentially through time, witnessing the future of Earth, the death of the sun, the end of all stars, proton decay, zombie galaxies, possible future civilizations, exploding black holes, the effects of dark energy, alternate universes, the final fate of the cosmos - to name a few.

This is a picture of the future as painted by modern science - a picture that will surely evolve over time as we dig for more clues to how our story will unfold. Much of the science is very recent - and new puzzle pieces are still waiting to be found.

To me, this overhead view of time gives a profound perspective - that we are living inside the hot flash of the Big Bang, the perfect moment to soak in the sights and sounds of a universe in its glory days, before it all fades away. Although the end will eventually come, we have a practical infinity of time to play with if we play our cards right. The future may look bleak, but we have enormous potential as a species.

Featuring the voices of David Attenborough, Craig Childs, Brian Cox, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michelle Thaller, Lawrence Krauss, Michio Kaku, Mike Rowe, Phil Plait, Janna Levin, Stephen Hawking, Sean Carroll, Alex Filippenko, and Martin Rees.

It's interesting and sad to know that basically everyone who's watching this will be dead in the first minutes of the video

*"TIME BECOMES MEANINGLESS"* is the craziest game over screen I've ever seen.

"Time becomes meaningless" I don't know why, but this sentence hits hard.

This is one of the most beautiful and comforting videos on YT. There’s something poetic about knowing that everything eventually ends; it makes the moments we have that more special.

This video is truly so beautiful. I struggle with chronic anxiety and every time I’m having a panic attack, I play this video for myself and the music with the visuals and the inevitability of the end of everything helps me calm down! I really love this, please never take this video down. I return to it time and time again to remind myself that all the things I worry about are so small

This is the most soothing existential crisis I've ever had.

Even though non of us would be alive then, but hearing that a time would come when the entire universe would be all empty, sends chills down my spine.

This hits home, and it hits hard. I think this kind of perspective is what is needed to unify our species and cherish one another for how feeble and short-lived we all are. In a purely rational sense, love is the best tool we have. Thank you for this masterpiece!

Anyone watching this in 2124 !

Hello from the past, I hope humanity is still alive and things have turned better for everyone (humans and animals alike). Technology has improved substantially I guess. But humans remain the same inside. Don't lose hope fellow future humans. Time will always bring out the best in all. May the Force be with . . . . . .
