Why are Americans not using the metric system, like everyone else in the world? :-/

[@Mr_PNW]

They actually tried in schools when I was a kid in the early 70s. It didn't last very long, unfortunately. Now I have two sets of tools SAE and Metric. Metric is show easy to organize and think about.

[@Kadmosthegreat]

Hey, you see any other species making pizza? I think not.

[@AlexRoseGames]

.. go to a forest, or some plains, or a rainforest, or the desert, all of these things literally still exist, you can go and see them right now, probably within an hour of you even if you live in a big city. You don't need to time travel to do any of that. People love this fantasy of "oh the past was so much cooler". It literally just looks like all the undeveloped land that you can go and see any time, cities are tiny in the grand scheme of the planet.

[@sciencetoymaker]

Wow, it must have taken a lot of people a lot of work to answer the question with such quality! Great idea to use the football field.

[@DarkFalconTBA06]

Production quality is so goooooood! Love the presentation too, fantastic video.

[@sabrinabonadio9184]

Glad I found this channel on the trending page.... awesome videos!!!

[@GBonSci]

Thank you for making this video! There are so many versions of this idea (deep history visualized), but I like this one best. My students always benefit from it!

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

It's still mind-blowing that every 1" = 1,300,000 years. That's 6.5 x as long as our species has been on this planet. 250 x older than ancient Egypt. 1" is a looooong time.

[@michaelwhite3762]

M. Utley The weirdest part about Egypt is that the Romans to us are as old as the Egyptians were to the Romans. It's p crazy.

[@godbearxd]

M. Utley My penis spans 10.4 million years. 😂

[@BeauBullockJustCallMeBrock]

This all just puts into perspective how truly great humans are. In just about a millimeter on a football field, humanity made advances that dwarf anything the could be in the past. It's truly fascinating what Man did with such little time.

[@CestLaVieNon]

And also about to obliterate the planet…

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

Very cool examples! It seems the single cells learned how to create communities and then become one organism? Wonder if similar could happen to humanity one day? one giant super human organism? Not human centipede though. gross 😲 But like one giant consciousness network powered by all humans at once to create new level of life/creation/existence, idk? It seems we could be going towards that... Ok, I'll go think about that... 😱

[@DorianMattar]

+GentleWhispering The Borg.

[@milesmorales6583]

GentleWhispering you mean humans working together to see the bigger picture ?

[@Drumsgoon]

That's what humans use communication and trade for, so we can specialize: we all know a little bit and work on a small part.

[@skunkbear]

Thanks Maria! I actually listened to your videos while doing the animating on this piece ... gets me in the zone

So basically a whole lot of nothing happened until like 3 minuts ago in the grand cosmic scale of time. Neato.

[@jacobcross3559]

What a great video, what I like most is the football field analogy, the football field is an exact measurement. The video is easy to understand and the narrator does a great job explaining just how old the earth is.

[@trundalthegreat9866]

Loved this explanation. I've been an atheist for over 15 years now. (I'm 31) and I'm always fascinated with the history of the world. As told by scientists....and not religion. Will definitely be sharing this and watching it again.

[@spacewombat4569]

Imagine if humanity had existed earlier in the scale that this guy used to visualize history. Its incredible to think of what kind of human innovation could have taken place if we were at our pinnacle of understanding millions of years ago...

[@thinkytalky1539]

Wow! I am truly grateful that you made this - and did so in such a clear and careful way.

[@lukestephenson6102]

[@9ers1fan]

Imagine if humans were on earth for a billion years. If it lasted that long.

[@michaelwhite3762]

9ers1fan We'd probably look much different from evolution if we hadn't wiped ourselves out by that point.

[@LosloTypical]

9ers1fan, multiple human species would have probably evolved by then.

[@ThomasLarkin-z5x]

Another awesome video, thanks so much

[@user-vy5ge4ty7b]

Great video!!! I love the idea of a football field. My question is how do you go from simple cells to multi-diverse cells. Nutrition and photosynthesis keep them going but what changed them?

[@brynstclair5266]

Great question! There is evidence that at two separate occasions one cell swallowed another cell and became super powers! First, one cell (with its own DNA) was engulfed inside of a larger cell(1.45 BYA.....or on the 30 yard line.) The first "power house" could break down sugars and create useable and moveable energy for the larger cell....the mitochondria. During another "swallowing event" we began to have cells that could transform energy from the sun into a storable and useable form----photosynthesis (1.25 BYA...or on the 27 yard line). This proved to be extremely useful and eventually overtook the earth with green organisms....plants! There are a number of bits of evidence that point us to these conclusions....if you are interested I can explain more.

[@TrickortreatMF]

well done my friend, cant wait for more videos! have a nice day and stay healthy!

All I got from this video was that the Cowboys are gonna beat Washington..?

[@halocemagnum8351]

[@patricklavelle4295]

What do you define the beginning of earth to be? My limited understanding is that earth started as an accumulation of space dust and debris, so didn't it have to grow? would it be at the beginning of that growth or towards the end?
