Explanation: Could you tell the story of human existence in a minute? This thrilling video culls together multiple teasing snippets in an attempt to do just that. And sets it to music. Briefly depicted, from start to finish, is an artistic animation of the Big Bang, a trip across the early universe, the formation of the Earth and Moon, the emergence of multi-celled life and plants, the rise of reptiles and dinosaurs, a devastating meteor strike, the rise of mammals and humans, and finally the rise of modern civilization. The minute movie ends with a flyover of the modern skyscraper and a human standing atop a snow covered mountain. The above video is the latest from the Symphony of Science project.

Well that explains everything.
I must admit though, if it weren’t for the music I’d have been lost./s

I prefer commercial-off-the-shelf (

Cheers!

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour. I'll take that.

It’s pretty humbling to think about how far we’ve come in what amounts to a grain of sand in the hourglass of history.

AFAIK, you and I are the only two people on earth who have “seen” that rainbow.
