I remember that back in the kindergarten and early elementary school I had a phase of obsession with the dinosaurs and natural history in general.

This channel might just rekindle my old passion.

[@deusexaethera]

Minor correction: The Terra-Theia collision didn't re-melt the resulting mass, it _vaporized_ it. The kinetic energy converted into thermal energy by the collision was equivalent to the Sun's entire thermal output for a 24-hour period. Earth and Luna had to re-accrete from a cloud of rock vapor.

[@mike954]

If it were a head-on collision or Terra had a thick crust then it would have been vaporized, but it was a glancing blow and Terra was mostly liquid rock at the time. Not every planetary or planetesimal collision needs to be violent, explosive, or vaporizing. Some are slow and akin to taking 2 pieces of clay and squishing them together.

All lies

[@nhabib114]

Story telling is not just for fiction; history can and should be done as a story. Video seems based on bleeding edge in science. Riveting experience, with the amazing narration. Thank you for educating with moving pictures. Television's early promise finally being fulfilled on KZbin.

In gravitational combat the weak are doomed to never be planets, like Theia....or Pluto.

[@LittleRedTeaCake]

This is honest to gods, one of the most beautifully written, narrated, entertaining and informational video I have ever watched on youtube. This is amazing. Thank you.

[@Balthazare69]

Really great video, I cant wait next episode... its like Im watching bbc earth, ng or discovery production, bravo!

[@red_nikolai]

I feel as though I've been waiting for this sort of video for a long time. A historically accurate account of material, scientific truths, but told in a very human mythological style, rather than dry facts and data. It contains not just the data but also the meaning.

[@Hux-464-67]

I enjoyed that, just one thing which is not important, the title graphic i would of liked to see the continents move into place after the last global ice age. I realise that is nit-picking though.

[@thegreatestoffools]

The writing in this is absolutely top-notch, captivating stuff. Well done, 10/10 would subscribe again.

[@PeloquinDavid]

Very poetic: Theia's gravestone...

[@Hi_Im_Akward]

I love your videos for education, but your videos are also amazing to listen to as i fall asleep or have anxiety and need to relax. All around brilliant quality and I've watched every single one of them on all your channels. Please keep doing what you're doing, its amazing quality.

[@rebootrequired3941]

Beautiful!

[@peytongonavy]

Looks like I'm in time to see your "early stuff"! I can't wait to watch this channel grow.

[@Obsidius]

Nicely done, your content is always engaging. I'm curious though about the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some theorize that there actually used to be a planet that was destroyed somehow.

[@ProfezorSnayp]

The combined mass of the asteroid belt would make a body 4% the mass of the Moon. If it ever was a real planet it would have been less than half the size of Pluto.

[@williampainter8889]

The Prof is right. Its also unlikely the asteroid belt is the ruins of a planet given the diversity of material that exists there. The consensus seems to be that the belt is merely a remnant population of miscellaneous debris from across the solar system that formed after any inward migration of the gas giants. It survived by avoiding orbits that resonate with those of the migrating gas giants, an entanglement that doomed the majority of planetesimals in that region of the disk. It is, in a sense, a negative photograph of the early solar system! But you are on the right track; most objects in the asteroid belt are fragments of much larger bodies... just not quite the size of planets.

[@xephorce]

I really love how u present theses topic. And you got a great voice for documentaries. Looking forward to more to come. Thank you.

[@connarcomstock161]

"The earth forms layers" Like an onion? Or a parfait?

[@elvastan]

I LOVED the description of Jupiter and Saturn migrating into the inner solar system, so vivid!

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Wow, this is the beginning of our planet.

[@antonloubser]

Little Jenny please do not be fooled. There is a Magnificent Creator and His Name is Yahweh and he is calling you.

[@just_kos99]

I love this video so much and the excellent narration that I don't remember how many times I've watched it in the last month. I love putting it on and listening while I do other tasks. The entire series is great!

[@treenelson4063]

I look forward to the next video

[@iainmawhinney8867]

i’ve just been replayed the first three and a half minutes; i didn’t think i would _ever_ see Theia as a scrappy champion, but the opening narration is _incredible_

[@aylakellyk]

This is so great! I'm going to use this for my 6th graders science lesson tomorrow. The writing here is amazing, and you brought new life to an old topic. Incredible. Thank you for the quality content.

[@astramouseeverywhere6923]

How did your lesson go?

[@julianluarte6360]

Will everyone ignore that Saturn saved us even before simple organisms existed?

[@OrcCorp]

Great video. Thanks! People like different things, as always. For the first 10 minutes I was waiting for the high school drama class reading to end, and the scientific documentary to begin. Oh well.. 😄 It's a bit exhausting to listen to for 18 minutes 😧

[@paulohagan3309]

Depends on the person. I liked it a lot, personally - seems a bit different to other science channels and I'm not a great one for poetry or poetic discourse normally. As you say horses for courses or maybe vice-versa.

[@Vespyr_]

This is why science doesn't spread like religion. You attribute the poetry of the world, to high school drama.

[@GamingOdyssee]

An amazing start for this new channel :) Good luck for your work in the future!

[@Jack-c]

Loved it!!!!!

[@Tormekia]

Just found this channel and I absolutely love the cadence and the sound of the narration. It's like a dreamy meditative version of David Attenborough.

[@Jay-kw2kb]

Lol, I’m amazed how evolutionists claim to know how the universe started.How life comes from nowhere!How chaos produces order!The question then becomes “what is the meaning of it all?”

[@FreedomAnderson]

What is an evolutionist? Also, evolution and abiogenesis are separate topics. Which are you arguing against?

[@TheRealColt45]

This series and the Entire History of the Universe are just marvelous! Thank you so much for creating such wonderful series!
