The Earth’s Story in 60 Seconds
I love clever filmmakers. I love science. So of course, I love it
when clever filmmakers makes clever science videos. John Boswell is one
of the creators of Symphony of Science,
a fantastic series of videos featuring scientists and science
communicators auto-tuned to original music.
He also makes other videos about science under the name MelodySheep on YouTube … which is how I found a fantastic short piece called “Our Story in One Minute”. It shows the entire 4.5 billion year history of the Earth compressed down into one minute. Well, the highlights at least, with a stress on humanity’s involvement. It’s fascinating and wonderful.

If you liked this video, you might also like “Timeline: The Age of the Universe”,
which has the 13.73 billion year history of the entire Universe
compressed to 13.73 minutes; a billion years per minute. It was created
by Craig Hall, who wrote a piece of music specifically for the video.
He also posted helpful comments in the video itself to tell you what was happening in the Universe and when.

Both of these videos should be shown in science classrooms! I think
they’d help inspire kids to learn more about the cosmos we live in.
... and maybe they should be shown to Congress, too.
