  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

History of the Earth

YouTube description:

The history of the Earth from its formation to present day, covering major events throughout its 4-billion-year history. Estimates of average temperature, atmospheric composition, and day length are given. The reconstruction is based off of the companion video (https://youtu.be/UgRHZ5jDPUU) with changes to the coastline.

Forgot to add this event, but the little boom is in the video.:
(Impacts 2023Ma) Vredefort impact - This impact is the largest confirmed crater on Earth at 300 km wide. It is found in South Africa.

Music from https://filmmusic.io
“Division”, “Ever Mindful”, “Soaring”, “Revival”, “Ossuary 6” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)

I've added subtitles for the purple-colored text. If you have trouble reading them, use that.
I've put them all on a Google doc as well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a49c9pXfeVMah7uwJbH_Q6JE0WGcL95bJHqjZtKHrjo/edit?usp=sharing

Other stuff:
But the day is 23hr 56m long!
That's true for a sidereal day (rotation with respect to background stars, i.e. exactly 360°) but I used the solar/synodic day instead as I feel that's more natural (rotation with respect to the Sun, i.e. sunrise to sunrise, about 361°).

I'll happily *promote any 10 minute video that takes me half an hour to watch. So much great information. Got to go back and watch it again.

I wish there was an easy way to watch things like this backwards.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, January 18th, 2020 3:00am PST - promote requested by noims.

I googled so many things.

Thanks

It took me a while to watch too, I had to keep pausing because the writing went past a bit quickly.

Plus, the YT timeline covered text at times. Makes me feel like I missed that one important clue that would have made everything come together for me.

Now I'll just watch it again without stopping.

Thanks
