Happy to announce that the follow up to this, TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE, is now available: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6pknN2mqbO5gXU.html

Who wants to see this turned into a full series??

Don't blink you'll miss a few million years.

No matter how many times I watch this, it touches me emotionally. Yes, please make this a full series.

The last 40 seconds are just phenomenal. Such a history. The crustaceans, the amphibians, the lizards, the flowers. The pterosaurs, the dinosaurs, the asteroid. The mammals, the primates, Homo Sapiens. The universe shall tell our tale.

This channel is way too advanced to be on KZfaq man.

we will have to wait 22 million years just to add another second.

melodysheep was what really brought me the interest of astronomy. How beautiful the space is, how large it is and how mysterious it is. Stuff that really makes you think differently about reality itself...

6:43 this moment makes the The Sun sound like the the most important star in the universe

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that this is FREE

At the end when it went black i could see myself in the reflection. What an end

10:04 this scene make me goosebumb

7:12 I lost count of how many times i watched this !!!! The sound pairing is awesome.

“I do not fear death, I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it” -Mark Twain

“Universe dies” My mom:”it’s all because of that damm phone”

the cameraman is basically immortal

Watching the birth of our sun always makes me cry, life is beautiful

Imagine the universe being a small atom in an organism

Nice job to the cameraman that filmed this

this is literally the most beautiful thing i've ever seen my eyes feel blessed!!

I don't care what anybody says, I would pay money to see this and similar videos like this one a big screen.

The last minute was a cinematic masterpiece. Wow.

Absolute masterpiece and cure for depression, have been watching this for over a year on repeat. Notice: How at 10:03, the last 600 million years of Earth's history are put to song, with each note of of the melody... or each "bar" I guess, not a music person so not sure... but each 100 million year cut-off mark, the note changes, six notes in total, ending at that high note at the end, each one covering exactly 100 million years. Helped me think of the Earth's history in this "metric" sense as well for a second, as generally I think of it in geological periods rather than numerical cutoffs. Crazy to think what happened in the last 100 million years... dinosaurs from the ancient world reigned from the beginning, then 40 million years through they go extinct, then the mammals take over the fresh earth, and then humans evolving only in the last percentagepoint of that timescale. Crazy.

I'm crying of joy. Thank you SO MUCH for this. I really loved it.

"Gravity is the great creater, the constructor of worlds.... But gravity is also the destroyer" I love that phrase.

So beautiful. Got some tears streaming. Lets not take this beautiful life for granted.

*ITS REWIND TIME*

... its like a movie trailer... but the movie is existence itself...

I came across this video 4 years ago; it was one of many, but this one changed my mindset forever, cause it hits emotionally and mentally. It still does...

Brian cox is an amazing narrator.

Knowing our era is just a blink of a eye, makes me feel an emotion that does not exist

If this dude had a 250M dollar budget he will make the entire avengers series look like crap.

I came here to comment how I get I goosebumps every time I watch this, how beautiful it is, how I hold back tears, even after 5 years. I see I'm not the only one! Thanks so much for making this.

Imagine being the bacteria that went inside a normal cell and accidentally started the creation of all complex life

KZfaq: How strong do you want your existential crisis to be ? Me: Yes.

This video captures the vastness of our universe and the brevity of human history in just 10 minutes. It's a humbling reminder of our place in the grand tapestry of time. Mind-blowing!

Thinking that humanity is a terribly random event and appeared just accidentally... By universe mistake, a teeny tiny speck of cosmic dust accidentally acquired consciousness. And now is completely alone. It's not safe for one's sanity to bear this in mind. Now I understand why religions exist.

As you can see, the camera man would do anything to keep his job

That final frame of the eyes absolutely sent chills down my spine.

So glad I found this channel, I have to say these are the BEST science videos I have ever seen! Dude the editing, the sound design, is on another level. Every single one has giving me goosebumps and made the hair on my arms stand up. Ive never had a video draw me in quite like this before. You are on to something special , more please!

This really makes you say “what’s the point of anything”

After seeing the video I am looking around at everything.. _hi universe and it's atoms_

These videos you guys make just make me think differently about everything, see the universe in a different way. Thank you for the goodness that is your channel!

This was one of the most mindblowing videos I've seen in quite a long while. Deeply, deeply impressed.

This is like "History of the entire world, I guess", but for professionals.

22 million years: 1 second My pizza delivery: 3 hours

My favorite KZfaq channel! The thrill I feel when I see that melodysheep has posted a new video is simply incredible. 💜

Literally one of the best science videos ever! It beings me joy to come back and watch this masterpiece. Well done melodysheep!!!

That final minute when complex life appeared, the music is breathtaking, and that final frame that shows how short humanities time has actually been on this universe compared to everything else that has come before. An absolute cinematic masterpiece

*Every second is a 22 million years* Me: -Wow, those bacterias are really slow

Breathtaking! I have chills head to toe. I have loved you guys for years. Thank you for creating this. I'm so jazzed about the new one coming too! ♥

It's so mind bending that us humans only appear in the absolute last frame of the entire 10 minute video! We've only been here for the shortest amount of time imaginable and only will be here for the shortest possible time on the timescale of the entire universe's existance. So enjoy every moment you're alive, how surreal it is that we're are here, living in this moment, on a floating ball of rock in the vast emptiness of space and time ❤

Any time I’m stressed/worried about anything. I think about this video. How insignificant our problems are in the grand scheme of things

6:38 shout out to the homie, our Sun. Without you, we wouldn’t be existing right now. You a real g.

the lasts seconds made me cry. wasn't expecting that to happen lol beautiful video. wish i knew about this channel sooner

I’ve seen this video so many times. It always makes me cry. It hits me in a way no other video can or ever will again. ❤ thank you so fucking much.

"Born too late to explore earth, Born too early to explore the universe"

The fact that every single second of this video can be a wallpaper shows how beautiful this is.

Beautiful!! Powerful and awe inspiring.... This was indeed a masterpiece, as was the universe itself. Thank you for this video and thank you for all the time and effort which was used to enable it.

Most fantastically awsome video ever. It really hits deep into the soul. Have watched it so many times.

This literally gave me goosebumps !!! When the video ended, I was just sitting here, looking around, questioning my existence....

What makes you cry? Person 1: Titanic Person 2: Notebook Person3: Hachi Person4: Sad music Me: TIMELAPSE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE

Used to listen to this and future timelapse a lot while trying to wrap my mind around larger numbers, in order to get a sliver of a grasp over the amount of time that has passed, and will pass from our perspective of the Universe. Extremely thankful that I had experienced this amount of compacted information in musical form. Be well 🙏.

I cant believe all this happened in 6000 years

the music is literally flat out epic. period.

This channel does not make videos. It makes art.

That was visually amazing! Thank You for that brief but compelling edit.

The first time I ever watched a Melody sheep video (Timelapse to the future) it truly changed the way I viewed the world. Once again they have created a thought provoking, informative, visually sumptuous and engaging film - thank you. While for some realising just how “insignificant” we are on the universal timescale for me it kind of makes me relax and realise that ultimately life, our world and the universe will keep going on regardless of what I do - sure we impact and influence those around us and the impact of our existence may be remembered and felt possibly for a few generations after us but then we will become lost to time and whatever the future holds. We often waste so much time worrying over things we have no control over and that don’t really matter in the bigger picture (does it really have any bearing on your life if a bunch of strangers disliked your Instagram post or your neighbour has differing opinions or that everyone doesn’t agree with your point of view. The truth is we often allow what those around us think affect us beyond what is healthy without stopping to appreciate we always have a choice on how things affect us - not necessarily an easy or straightforward one but a choice nevertheless.

Every time I watch this I am just amazed. Such beautiful work.

This channel is so underrated. One video of it is enough to make you fall in love with the universe.

Mad respect to our sun for keeping us alive in more than 5 billion years 👊

Scientists: the fastest thing is light The camera guy: passing through galaxy's in nano second's

This channel offers such a great content content!!! Thanks for the magnificent effort. I absolutely love it!

I've watched this video countless times, yet every time I watch this, it feels like it's my first time. amazing video!

And to think that there are actually people who think the Earth was formed 6,000 years ago

They should show us this video in school.

Olhei esse vídeo na escola professor de biologia passou na televisão, simplesmente ABSURDO, parece cinema, esse vídeo é uma obra de arte. 👌

Did u blink? Oh u just missed a million year

the fact that we're actually living in this massive universe just blows my mind. it's somehow so comforting to know that we're apart of something so powerful, beautiful and rare. makes you realize that you and your problems may occur big and unapproachable to you, but when you view the universe and your existence as whole, you will come to the conclusion that everything you do, everything you feel and experience in your life will eventually be.. gone

Your videos give me chills. And your music and score are just so perfect

6:50 my favourite moment of this video...

6:43 is sooooo beautiful!!! The music fit this event very good! Universe is beautiful and scary at the same time

This gotta be in the top 5 of the best videos ever created on KZfaq... it left me speechless.

I'm not sure whether you'll even read this. But after 2 years of watching this, I wanna mention this. Thank you, genuinely for this video, besides the fact that it's absolutely cool and informative and well put together, It's therapy for me. Whenever the days are hard and everything is overwhelming, I just watch this and remind myself that I am only a fraction of a second in the grand scheme of things and my problems aren't too huge, yet that somehow makes me want to make it count even more. And more importantly, that we're all make of stardust ☆

thank u for so much beautiful content, im amazed by ur great work

I've lost count how many times I've watched this video! your content is absolutely mind boggling! Pure quality, get chills in every video. Keep up the amazing work man!

We need to say thanks to the camera man who went back in time to film us this

Is there anything more beautiful than this? I am speechless!

Holy.. my word. This was incredible. I don’t have many words, because I’m sorta stunned, this was absolutely amazing.

the music killed it. made the universe bad ass

So sad this doesn't get as much attention as the future one

This is just so moving! I wish they could've showed it down in a few instances! The raw power of the processes of creation, abundance, degeneration and rebirth is just astounding! Thank you for making this

Just brilliant, brought tears to my eyes.
