4.5 Billion Years in 1 Hour
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
Kurzgesagt's hour-long animated film that compresses Earth's 4.5 billion year history into one hour, roughly a million years per second. It follows the evolution of life through to humanity's tiny final stretch.
HN commenters recommend it for the sense of perspective it gives on deep time and how brief human history is.
