To Scale: TIME

5 years later and casually drop another masterpiece

You standing at the edge of the timeline to represent the present was just master storytelling.

"It's a tiny moment, but...what a moment." words to live by

My god, what a staggeringly well made, moving 10 minute work of art.

This channel is a testament of quality over quantity, and doing projects for the pure awe of an audience with educational content. You guys are truly an inspiration.❤

What I think is even crazier than the time aspect of how short our life is, is the fact that we are conscious enough to be aware of how little time we have. We are the only species known to not only have the will to survive, but the will to want to understand the nature of our being as well.

why does this only have 334k views?? this deserves millions of views! this made me feel such deep things that I can't even put into words. oh man. thank you for making this another masterpiece!

"We are alive for the briefest moment, but that time is a gift from the universe." How beautifully put. Carl would be proud.

Just look those vlogers getting 10 million subs and here this guy creating masterpieces at just 139k subs. YOU deserve way the more --est.*

I have never commented on anything, ever. And trust me when I say I did find some pretty amazing things here on YouTube. But this... This pushes me to step forward into the light, for the sole purpose of saying: "I feel an immense sense of pride, awe, and humility, towards the fact that I am alive to witness such passion and ingenuity" Thank you so much for this, you just reignited a deep sense of purpose within me. I love you.

This channel is the literal definition of quality vs quantity. Also love the Carl Sagan quote at the beginning. Great job with this video, very informative.

Every human on the planet earth should watch this masterpiece for the peace and to get a real sense of who you really are in these vast cosmos. Kudos for this baller clip 🤘

As a geologist I highly appreciate your hard work to illustrate the vastness of the timescale if its displayed linearly. Thank you for your efforts!

I rarely cry and I have never commented on a youtube video in my years of being here. But this made me bawl outta nowhere. It reminds me that all the suffering and pain everyone and everything has gone through and is going through will be but a speck in all of time. I'm a bit of a cynic, but somehow the reminder of how extremely brief our time here is gives me so much hope for life. Thank you for going great lengths (pun intended) to put this into perspective. This is instantly going into my all-time favourite videos and I cannot wait to see what else you guys create. Big love x

This video is a great example of Science+Cinematography.

When you said that my life is less than the width of a hair versus the distance I see towards the horizon, something snapped into place. I don't know what it was but my eyes just started welling up and I'm in tears -- the feeling is profound. Thank you! Brilliant work, again. 👏

I come back to this video a lot when I'm feeling lost or overwhelmed by everything happening around me. Thank you for making this, it's impacted me in ways you can't ever truly understand <3

This is quite simply the best thing I’ve seen on this subject. You brought something that seems otherwise impossible to imagine, into focus. It’s mesmerizing and deeply moving, and as you so eloquently point out at the end, it puts our brief lives into perspective. As others have already said, this is a masterpiece.

Best video ever! I am crying..thanks for making this..huge fan!
