The History and Future of Everything -- Time

7.5M views · 12 years ago · animation · evergreen

A Kurzgesagt animated video covering time on the largest scales, an animated timeline of the universe's history and future. It uses simple illustrated visuals and narration to make huge spans of time understandable.

HN people link it as a good, well-narrated example of explaining unimaginable scales, and discuss it in threads about Kurzgesagt's information design.
