Looking for a little help in finding a video on the net. I don't remember a whole lot about it, and I've been trying to find it for quite some time now so I could finish watching it. I found it on video.google.com a few months ago by searching for stuff like National Geographic, Discovery, etc. I find those types of videos entertaining. I don't remember specifically what I searched for to find this one but here are the details I do remember.
It was about the beginning of our solar system & planet earth. Mostly dealing with the Big Bang Theory and that stuff.
There was a male narrator who had a familiar voice. It's not a guy giving a lecture or speach or anything, you don't see him at all during this. They used a 24 hour time clock as a timeline. Example would be at 00:00:00 is when the big bang happened... at 21:43:20 Human life showed up, etc. Since it's covering billions of years just saying "Yeah 4 billion years ago" doesn't give any sort of idea.. but the clock thing was pretty good.
It wasn't a creationism vs. evolution debate. Nothing about god in it at all.
One part discussed in the video was how the moon was part of the earth at one time. When the big bang happened all this space dust began spinning in orbit around the sun. It would eventually start to collect like dust bunnies and eventually formed the planets after millions of years. Also during that time, after the earth was "formed" a large chunk of leftover material that wasn't yet a planet slammed into the earth and caused a lot of debris to float back out into space. That debris eventually formed the moon. They also stated that the moon used to be a lot closer to earth in those days, and a full "day" was only 7-8 hours long as opposed to the 24 hour days we have now.
It also talked about one of the other planets... Mars I think... and the different phases that happen in a planets lifetime. And the reason Mars no longer has habitable conditions is because it's protective magnetic shield went away.. because in the planets molten stage, all of the metals sank to the core.. and eventually hardened. Where as on our planet, we have a liquid core. Or something to that affect.
That's all I can really remember. I think there were multiple parts to it, but I only got to see about 3/4 of the first segment before my power went out. And when I got back around to looking for it to watch it, I couldn't find it anymore.
Any help is appreciated!
