Not a new concept, compressing the entire history of Earth’s existence in a 60-second time-frame, (and seeing most the action take place in the last five-seconds), but all the more poignant in 60-second video format… see everything take off after the Cambrian Explosion.
By condensing 4.6 billion years of history into a minute, the video is a self-contained timepiece. Like a specialized clock, it gives one a sense of perspective. Everything – from the formation of the Earth, to the Cambrian Explosion, to the evolution of mice and squirrels – is proportionate to everything else, displaying humankind as a blip, almost indiscernible in the layered course of history.
