Timelapse Of The Univererse 13 Billion Years in 10 Minutes Updated And Remastered

100 million years after the Big Bang, the age of stars begins, and of gravity spins billions of stars together into proto galaxies, connected by a cosmic web of gas and dust. Slowly, dark matter guides infant galaxies into clusters that span millions of light years. Gravity pulls these colossal systems together, locking them into a dance that lasts hundreds of millions of years. As the universe evolves, it enters a brilliant new epoch. When the rate of star formation reaches its peak, forging new suns over 10 times faster than today, most stars that will ever exist form during this time, seeding the cosmos with light that will endure for trillions of years. Gravity is the architect of all the great wonders of the universe, but the same force that ignites the stars also seals their fate. Black holes formed by the collapse of massive stars are growing in number. Some grow to enormous sizes, sucking up billions of stars worth of matter. These supermassive black holes become the dark engines at the hearts of galaxies, shaping the fate of billions of suns. Jets of particles erupt from their cores at nearly the speed of light. Stars that venture too close are torn apart, destroyed by the same force that gave them life. Most stars in the universe are small and will fade away quietly, but about 1% have enough mass to collapse and violently explode. In their deaths, they expel all the heavy elements that were cooked up inside their cores over their lifetime. Seeding space with the ingredients of a life and creating a cycle of stellar death and rebirth. And from their ashes, a new generation of planets and stars arise, rich in heavy metals, setting the stage for the emergence of life. On the outskirts of the Milky Way, a cloud of cosmic gas and dust hangs quietly in the dark, until suddenly, a nearby supernova sends a shock wave that triggers the collapse of the cloud. Gravity pulls together the spinning material, superheating the gas and dust, leading to the formation of a new star, an abatted young planet Earth. Bombarded by asteroid impacts, the young Earth is a molten hell. The air is thick with toxic fumes and acid rain. But deep beneath the waves, something begins to stir. Cracks in the ocean floor vent heat and minerals into the water, fueling complex chemistry that brings the first cells to life. For 3 billion years, the planet belonged solely to the microbes, an empire invisible to the naked eye. Some microbes begin to feed off sunlight itself, expelling huge amounts of oxygen and triggering a global ice age. But as the ice recedes, evolution begins to accelerate. By harnessing the newfound oxygen, life gains access to more energy, paving the way for new advanced forms. After remaining single-celled for billions of years, some cells begin to unite. And as the last global ice age fades, life explodes.
