The Complete History of the Earth: Hadean Eon

[@maureenlopez7614]

Out of no where one day, I was just like "I want to learn about our Earth from the very beginning" and then boom I found you!! Can't wait to keep watching videos and learn!

[@robinchesterfield42]

You ever seen the "History of the Earth" series (also the name of the channel) here on KZbin? It does just that--teaches you about Earth from the very beginning. And it's SO GOOD. I just wish they'd put out new episodes a little faster!

[@toxicity6629]

@@robinchesterfield42 just watch this dude lol bro makes videos that are quality and uploaded often

[@darcgibson5099]

Why not both :)

[@JoshuaMartinez-ml5hl]

A year later and I had the exact same thought ha ha

[@TheBushwizard]

Same

[@RoninDave]

It's fascinating that this entire period is so long ago and largely unknown but the Hadean spans almost the entirety of complex multicellular life.

[@neddyladdy]

You have things arse about face.

[@helpmepleaseiamlost]

@@neddyladdy ???

[@neddyladdy]

@@helpmepleaseiamlost Fascinating that it is so long ago AND largely unknown. Doesn't it follow that if it so long ago, that it WOULD be largely unknown.

[@dorkthrone]

​@neddyladdy i think they were saying that the Hadean eon lasted about the same amount of time as complex multicellular life has been around (ie, hundreds of millions of years, NOT that they were concurrent) and yet we know comparatively little about it. I don't think they phrased it well, but that's how I'm interpreting it.

[@RoninDave]

@@dorkthrone 164 other people understood my meaning that neddylady apparently didn't which is that the Hadean Eon was nearly as long as the span of time from the beginning of complex multicellular life to now which is about 600 million years roughly speaking for both. 600 million years ago for us - life was in the Ediacaran Period with weird lifeforms some a confusing mix of plant and animal and now here we are with intelligent (in theory) monkeys who have junk in space and insta-communication across the globe. The Hadean despite the same length of time is essentially a geological blur because it is so distant in the past. However, to carry this idea of time spans further, if all life ceased tomorrow and if there were any entity out there to record Earth's history they might think complex lifeforms were an aberration on Earth having occupied less than a quarter of its geological history - even less if this were closer to the Earth's end 4 or 5 billion years from now (depending on if the Sun ends up swallowing it).

[@TalesofKaimere]

"Named after the Greek god of the Underworld, James Woods." ah that hit me right. Great video!

[@squirrelfrendotcom]

The Hadean Eon is the most facinating chapter of Earth's history-by far! Greenland is the place to look for the first solid ground the Earth produced as she finally started to cool. The real shocker is that there are pillow lava deposits from the Hadean which are only formed under a deep body of water. The implications of this are staggering and are certainly worth a closer look.

[@Scott-wf9kp]

I am immensely grateful that you decided to do a series on this subject, despite the fact that you aren't sure it will get as many views as your other videos. The history of our planet is an extremely interesting topic to me but it's hard to find digestible explanations. Thank you so much for putting in the work, you did a fantastic job!

[@haydenanderson2121]

If I recall, another great series on the full history of earth is the one by PBS Eons.

[@petersmythe6462]

"Gonna be more like astronomy and geology than paleontology" Well, the beginning of a global history class would normally be prehistoric human evolution, so I think it is only appropriate that the beginning of a global paleobiology series be prebiotic chemistry and geology.

[@kyokyodisaster4842]

I am all for this, since its going to be interesting to look at the earth's evolution from burning ball of rock, into the human habited world.

[@TheSparkly1982]

As opposed to watching it go back again in our lifetimes

[@apexnext]

No spoilers! 😂

[@paulprasek1475]

A comment for the algorythm and to say that this series would be exactly what i have been looking for on KZbin. Looking forward to more episodes.

[@l0el]

It IS a great idea for a video series and it really suits your channel aswell.

[@lindanelson9597]

Enjoyed the whole segment of the begining.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

Another reason for older periods lasting longer was less happened over longer periods. Especially pre-abiogenesis, there were just tens of millions of years of stuff like, "And then it rained for a 100 million years" and that was all that happened.

[@stormisuedonym4599]

From a strictly biological perspective, maybe. It really is mostly that we don't know much about what happened, because the evidence is gone.

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

While that's like true to some extent it's important to note that we aren't 100% certain about that. The further back we go the less evidence we have. This can lead us to believe not much happened. But we shouldn't necessarily assume having no evidence is the same as nothing happening. As this video said on a geological scale, the Hadean Eon is so far ago we don't even have rocks from back then. On a geologically active planet, the rocks themselves get recycled over time. The vast majority of evidence and data from back then has been melted down by our planet's core. For example, if the Empire statebuilding was transported back in time that far, we'd have no idea it was ever there. It would have been destroyed so thuroughly we'd never find even a single piece of evidence of it. We don't know what sort of rock formations got lost to time. Much of our early history is blanks, not because nothing happened, but because there is no evidence of anything happening.

[@WasThisMail]

This is going to be a good series

[@SendPeaches]

I love it when youtube algorithm reccomendeds me these hidden gem channels

[@superboost1574]

Sweet man I love this idea. Your narration is so much more enjoyable than just straight facts.

[@mathandphysicsforeveryone5407]

Also, I think it was AMAZING how you started with the formation of earth itself. Although this topic is usually discussed by planetary science, I think it's important for paleontologists to provide their perspective and its relevance to the biochemistry that sparked life. PLEASE keep posting videos about the characteristic features of each period, eon, etc. I recently discovered this channel and I am obsessed lol.

[@eslnoob191]

I love the quip at the end about sitting around a hydrothermal vent and trying to get back to normal! You've got to know a thing or two about paleobiology to get that joke! Seriously, though, it's incredible to think that scientists are increasingly discovering evidence (even if just in the form of carbon traces) that life probably arose during the Hadean Eon. The origin of life on Earth is truly ancient, and it seems increasingly likely that life arose right near the very beginning of the Earth's formation, even despite the Earth being a hellscape at that time.

[@Jacob562622]

I just discovered your channel today during lunch and I'm already completly hooked. I really hope your channel continues to blow up. I've loved history, pre-history, dinosaurs and geologic history since I was a kid and still goble up all the documentaries and books I can. Thank you for making such cool content! I really look forward to seeing this series play out.

[@thenotoriousspqr4239]

Please keep this series going, I havent found anything this bingeworthy since the unbiased history of Rome

[@tomhutchins7495]

Really enjoying this series. I'm glad you started this far back even if there isn't as much to say about it. I find the whole deep time stuff fascinating, even if it does give me mental vertigo.

[@SirFloofy001]

I have been looking for a series like this for a long time. Some channels have what i want but have 100+ 20 min videos covering every detail and others only have one or two videos covering only a few eras or an eon.

[@harrietharlow9929]

Great video. Never had an ethidium bromide molecule hosting a video LOL. Seriously, I really enjoyed this.

[@jennifermarshall-craig5146]

I absolutely love listening to these while I’m doing other things (cleaning fish tanks, laundry, knitting). Wonderful job of being entertaining and educational

[@kerrydustin3996]

Randomly came across this page while searching for dinosaur info. After watching this video, I’m excited to see what you’re able to do with the rest. 👏 👏 👏

[@robinchesterfield42]

"Oh god! I've gone so far back in time, I'm an ethidium bromide molecule! *NOOO*OOOOooo!!!" XD "the Greek god of the dead, James Woods" "some stray planet straight-up T-boned us" I'm totally digging this mix of educational and snark. Keep it comin'! :)

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

I really hadn't realized before how early in our history the Theia impact hit. I thought it was several million years after the planet's formation, but you said within the first few hundred thousand years! 🤔 Here I am, on the wrong side of a half century, and I'm only now realising this! So, thank you! ❤❤ I already learned something today, and haven't even finished off my coffee pot, yet! 😄 ❤ ❤ 🖖🏼🙂👍🏼

[@mathandphysicsforeveryone5407]

Hello, just wanted to say that for some strange reason, I just started watching paleontology documentaries - then I discovered your channel! It's educational, relaxing, entertaining, etc. I am so fascinated by dinosaurs, but what I enjoy even more is how you discuss the animals that either coexisted with dinosaurs or even preceded them!! I find it so strange that NO ONE talks about this!! It has to be one of the most fascinating things. PLEASE do more history of the earth and creatures that existed before dinosaurs that we hardly know about. I LOVE how you mentioned the history of the earth and all geological units of times such as periods and eons.

[@wralford]

06:30 - one quibble I would offer is the importance of the Moon to facilitate complex life should be added. The moon slowed down the spin of the Earth, stabilized the orbit, etc. Without the Moon, there would be life, but only very simple extremophiles. If we ever lost the Moon, life would be set back to pre-eukaryotic at best.

[@markoviitanen2671]

This is great idea. I watched a similar series long time ago, it was collected clips from many separate videos, but then most of it disappeared somewhere... We need one full "catalog" of the whole thing. I for one keep forgetting these things over time, so I want to go through them again later on as well

[@egghole3]

I remember reading an article that discussed a hypothesis brought up by some researchers. It went roughly as follow: "Wow, there sure are a lot of hot Jupiters in other systems! Most all of them, in fact. Why are our gas giants not right near the sun like the rest? Perhaps Jupiter WAS near the sun eons ago, but some cosmic event had it thrown away from the sun, wreaking havok throughout our solar system." There's more to this, obviously. I'd link the article, but KZbin will probably flag this comment as suspicious and you'll never see it. I can probably send it in a reply. Anyways! Anyways! What if this slingshotting of Jupiter away from the sun was the catalyst from tossing Theia towards Earth? Jupiter's gravity is massive, after all. And Jupiter being our gravitational guardian, today, would fit into the calming of Earth's development, if fewer space rocks were running into it. Just and idea, and i could be completely wrong, but I thought it was interesting enough to share.

[@egghole3]

I can't even find it. THis was back in high school, so I don't remember anyone's name', either.

[@elainechubb971]

I love reading all these theories but am now, alas, not remembering all the details as well as I did in my long-ago student days. I read something about a suspected cataclysmic event-=or maybe more than one--to explain various curiosities in our solar system, such as: Why does Venus rotate in the opposite direction to the rest of the planets? Why does Uranus's axis lie horizontally to the plane the planets orbit in, rather than vertically like the rest? (I hope I have these right.) The early years of the solar system seem to have been very perilous for all the satellites. There is also the apparent inability of a planet to form between Mars and Jupiter, thus leaving a lot of asteroids and other bits and pieces circling the sun and sometimes getting pushed out of orbit. Your suggestions about Jupiter's influence are very interesting. Regarding the fewer space rocks, maybe that's simply because many have already coalesced into planets or smaller bodies, or have already crashed into planets; sooner or later the numbers of the free-floaters must just simply go down.

[@sjonnieplayfull5859]

@@egghole3 Maybe Thea slingshotted around the sun, then hit Jupiter, but it, being mostly gas, did not stop Thea, but it was pushed/sucked out of it's original orbit, and Thea went on to hit earth afterwards? Or maybe Thea was a gas giant with a solid core.... It struck earth, the core hit while the gas floated on, but lost much momentum and so came to 'rest' in an orbit a bit beyond earth and formed Jupiter....

[@carolynallisee2463]

Paradoxically, this is the last one of the list that I've watched, mainly because it hasn't been as easy as the others to track down. I can honestly say that these have been eminently enjoyable to watch: just about the right length, between 10 and 20 or so minutes, long enough to cover everything that required covering, but not long enough to out last my attention span at least. Another thing I really enjoyed about this series was that we truly got a global view. The big budget TV series might be mind blowing in SFX, but when it comes to the formation and arrangements of the continents and seas/oceans, they're pretty vague, to the point that they might just as well label them 'Land' and 'Sea'. Not here. The way the continents and seas are arranged has a significant effect on the climate, and this in turn shapes what happens to the life forms living on our planet. After all, how many people know that Scotland was not only not joined to England for a good part of its geologic history, it was also south of the Equator as well? And the Pokemon style evolution snippets that pop up in the later videos are a lovely fun touch, too. Personally, I'm really eager to see the rest as they come out!
