As a former teacher who taught this topic to thousands of students over a decade-long career, I find this presentation to be an extraordinarily high-quality teaching tool.
As a Former Student of this subject I’ve always had a question How can anything be Dated Correctly if you know the Age of the Rock by the Fossils it contains and you know the Age of the Fossils by the Rock they are in ? Isn’t that like saying We Don’t Really Know Anything We Are Only Guessing ? I have a Theory it’s that the Earth was Created by Intelligent Design and is only about 6,500 years old.
@@samuelmeeks2158 Oh, dear GOD, a Young Earth Creationist has stuck his tiny little bean into the conversation. Radioactive dating is a VERY WELL ESTABLISHED SCIENCE that can determine the age of sediments in rock. I have a master's degree in the topic. Let me know if you'd like to be humiliated in the discussion further.
Can you please tell your teacher friends that teach this put this in there lessons the students would listen way more
@@samuelmeeks2158 you're opposing very very well documented, tested, and established science, because you subscribe to a theory based on faith? Good luck with that.
@@warbuzzard7167 Damn.. You seemed really cool before you let your boisterous ego get in the way.. I think the kiddo was asking genuinely, to be informed. Some teacher you must be. Pity.

As a former alien this is amazing to watch about your planet's history
Was in the Bermuda Triangle last May…for over a week. Never saw one alien?? Asked one of the girls working the help desk on our cruise ship where are the aliens? She looked over her shoulder, whispered to me, behind this door here….my boss. Definitely an alien!

@@bonniearmstrong6564pray do tell …!

As a geology student, this has been one of my fav topics to learn about. Imagine in that billion years something historical could have had happened, but we’ll never know
What about an extremely ancient civilization happened
So, where does this earth/dust that forms these rocks come from? btw that does not explain how items become buried imo. Does the earth grow? Gets new earth from space?

As a 23 year old I have no idea. My time capsule is lost and maybe nothing happened in the period he talks about 💁♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️
7:25 - Okay, had to stop. Don't humans know what a planetary sneeze event is? The bio matter from the decayed life doesn't magically disappear, it largely turns to oil. Yeah, spoilers, there's no shortage of oil on this planet, in fact your species has to pretend that there are shortages of things in order to keep yourselves from losing your sentience in terminal excess. So yeah, there's um... oil down there... and its slowly seeping further and further down. Eventually, enough of it will start to seep through the rock and into the upper mantle! It will catch on FIRE! OH NOES! Eventually, with enough trapped pressure and oil... it will ASPLODE and most of the surface off the planet will be blown out into space... may form another moon.

I love how you are able to simplify everything enough to where anyone can understand it. I never really liked history, but I love your channel because now I can finally understand things!
I blame school curriculum for people not liking History, because it is a fascinating subject. I remember having boring political b.s. rammed down my throat when I was young and couldn't possibly have an interest in such things, because some idiots thought patriotism was more important than capturing the interest of young children. Politics can wait; grade 1 students cannot vote. If they started with prehistoric times and moved forward, kids would be riveted.
As a person who just watched this video, read through the comment section, made his own comment, and then had to go back and edit his typos, I just want to say that there is an insane amount of "as a *insert description or profession here*" comments in this thread. Great video, I enjoyed it, but I think I may have enjoyed the "as a" comments just as much despite the fact that I would have probably found them somewhat annoying if it had only been a few of them. And, everytime I thought there weren't anymore, I would scroll a while and a whole new batch would appear. "As a geolist," "As a carpenter," "As an alien," "As a random stoner," and so forth.
As a reader of YT comments I really enjoyed your comment, an I'm enjoying all these "as a " comments.

there s a giga problem though, to erode so much earth, there had to be hundreds of meters ice all over the world but if it was true, where did all the ice water go?
@@kruvskompshe is british
@@alfa0mega74 righttt i wonder if the planet became a water planet and or ice planet several times that eventually evaporated? like on repeat? and steps the sediments away but also lmao evaporation of watr over a whole planet would take helava long time. well we can't comprehend time that well sooo who knows 😂
The great unconfirmity was the age of the gods
@@alfa0mega74yes once this happens the earth would lose its atmosphere. Thus, allowing the sun to remove everything from its surface like a hair dryer. So how did we get the water in the first place, well hydrogen and oxygen silly. Ahahahahahahah. Look at mars.
I've watched this a couple of times, and I really enjoy the enthusiasm. It is digestible enough to easily comprehend but not dumbed down.
Very interesting. The Snowball Earth hypothesis could probably be tested by seeing if the missing time period is greater towards the poles. While I was watching this, I was also thinking of plate tectonics as a possible source of the unconformities, in that it disrupts the simplistic linear new-to-old as you go down model. I'm also wondering if this might point to faults in our mechanisms for dating rocks. That we're presuming some things to be constant, when they're not, and something happened in that period that just doesn't conform to our model. After all, this is when the Cambrian Explosion happened, so something extremely unusual was going down then. In any event, the missing layers coinciding with the Cambrian Explosion seems important. This is, after all, seemingly the most important era in world history.
You have the break up of a supercontinent giving rise to warm shallow seas near the equator. Add in the nutrients from the glaciers and you have super fuel for evolution.
Also, according to my reading, cells learned to generate cartilage, laying the foundation for multicellular animals. Other eucaryotic cells learned to make lignin, founding multicellular plants.

As a collegiate athlete who doesn’t pay attention to my history lectures. Very interesting video!
Maybe stop being proud of your ignorance
literally 10 years this dude has been out here grinding. easy-peasy for him now obv but thoroughly well deserved
This guy is an educational treasure. I learn more from KZhead in a week than I did over the course of a decade of public schools growing up. - I'd like to add, I have worked in schools and I highly respect teachers and their commitment to their students. But I don't back the education system as a whole. Mostly in a sense that I feel it caters strongly to the masses but not enough to the individual. It's not teachers fault and I'm not saying I know the solution or anyone else does. But it does have flaws and I hope one day we can be more understanding of those flaws and more suitably accommodate those who the system doesn't work for.
Perhaps you should have paid attention
Your comment leaves plenty for interpolation. In my experience, kids that didnt learn much from public school primarily thought they were too smart to learn anything from school as it was happening. i.e. "Why do 'we' have to practice math when we have calculators"...aka over confident ignorant kid who thinks 'we' all think like him/her. Second, in the 80's there was a study out of Tennessee where they measured the academic progress in two different class sizes. One and 15 students, the other 22. The conclusion said the smaller size class room showed 3 months of extra schooling progress over 4 years...This got spun some capitalist minded turds to mean lets make class sizes 30, 32, 35, even 40...aka teacher realistically has NO TIME to cover individual kids questions/confusion. Divide up the time on that. 5 days a week, how many subjects a day, number of students, teaching the whole class, time left over to talk to individual students...middle school teacher and up have 6-8 classes a day of 25-35 students (150-280 students a day). You didn't learn anything in public schools because the adults during your childhood decided to spend money on dumb wars, billion dollar stadiums for the NFL, NBA, etc. or other dumb project. Dont get me wrong, about 60% of American families wouldnt be able to afford ANY education for their children if the Govt didn't collect taxes to cover us most of all Wake up....yes, get woke...as your ignorance is obvious...Now that you are personally motivated and adult enough to give a sh!t...drum roll....you are capable of learning more.
Actually I have horribly mismanaged ADHD and growing up I had a ton of people rooting for me who had no idea how to diagnose me or that anything was wrong. I also suffered from terrible depression which combined with my inability to focus made the entire school environment impossible to learn from. But when you'r forced to teach that there's only one way to teach, well I guess you just assume there's only one way to learn as well. I didn't fail school. School failed me. I've tried several times to get help in my adult life and so far nothing seems to offer aid. I remain vigilant in my search for solutions.

Great video, thank you What sort of information can be gleaned from these segments of rock?
I found a tiny shell fossil (I don't know what it is) in my mom and dad's front yard in the Ozarks. It sat at the bottom of a perfectly round hole in a small rock. I still have that rock. I was also wading in a stream in Missouri when I found a very, very strange rock practically in the middle of the stream. It's hard to describe. It's in the shape of a UFO, complete with a top and bottom, and what looks like a small pilot on the top. It has strange hieroglyphic shapes on the sides and what looks like windows. I didn't even notice all that and put it in the pocket of my jacket. When I pulled it out a couple of years later, I screamed and dropped it on my bed. My husband was so freaked out by it, he wanted me to throw it away. For some reason, I didn't, and I still have it safely tucked away, just in case someone ever wants to examine it.

Well-done, Thoughty 2. I'm a geology nut and have been since I was 12 (blame Jules Verne lol). I think Siccar Point is so important because after working there, James Hutton developed his "theory of the Earth" and he realised that Earth took not thousands of years but instead millions of years to form. This was radical stuff at that time since most people believed that the Earth was 6,000 years old. Hutton had a beautiful way to describe his theory and the age of the earth "No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end." Of course, today, we know that the earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and we have a reasonably clear idea of when and how it will end, but Hutton was the first scientist to grasp how old the earth actually is. He helped to lay the groundwork for modern geology. I think geologists call Siccar Point a "shrine" not necessarily because geologists are strange (though some undoubtedly are lol) but because Hutton's research at Siccar Point was a seminal moment in the history of the history of geology.
Yoooooo they made the Void Century into a real thing

I watched this on my laptop and I am so happy, it's been annoying me for years and the ice ball earth theory is the best I've ever heard, thank you again thoughty 2 for an informative upload. Delivered as usual with your unique style, fantastic gesticulating and great humour
The ice ball theory is interesting, but ... where did all of that water go?
@@jefffazio8677 water expands when frozen.
1). The earth expanded quickly over a short time. 2) millions of years are laughable we don't see fossilized bones hardly ever. Yet we see massive fossil beds everywhere. It's called a flood. 3). You dust theory is laughable. The layers are very distinct not random dust. It is clear a flood created the layers and is easily proven science. So many errors and contradictions in your argument. SFT KZhead channel and others clearly show how failed your timing is wrong.
One explanation that comes to mind is the sea level must have been a lot lower back then. Scientists ‘currently’ believe the the sea level has risen about 120 meters since the last ice age melt which was about 20,000 years ago to about 6,000 years ago. Also, 3.8 billion years ago the earth is believed to have been too hot for liquid water and that as the earth cooled, the water vapor started falling as rain. So, back before this , there were no oceans. What’s really amazing to me is the theory that ALL the water on earth was deposited here by icy comets and icy asteroids and icy. That had to be a crap load of asteroids over a long, long, long time. Adding to the strangeness is where did the water come from that was contained in these comets and asteroids.
Couldn't the water of always been here and was just in vapour in the early atmosphere? Do you think the movement of the tectonic plates changes the height of the land and changes the seas size wise? Is the amount of water finite? If so there is a few billion water filled people hanging on to some :)
That was fantastic. I can't remember the last time I got so intellectually pulled in to a subject. Thoughty2 is a master instructor.
The "snowball" idea is actually intriguing. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. 😊

To freeze baked lasagna: Line the pan with foil before assembling, then assemble and bake as directed. Let it cool completely, then freeze until solid. Once frozen, lift the frozen lasagna block from the casserole dish, wrap it in more foil, then freeze for up to a month. To reheat a baked lasagna: Remove the lasagna from the freezer and unwrap all the layers of foil. Transfer to the original casserole dish, cover, and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, warm the whole casserole (covered with foil) in the oven at 350°F until bubbly again.

My good friend from Lochaber was a Slate Mason we met a guy once and the conversation got on to slate he had worked in a quarry and he told us that in the lowlands a quarry machine cuts slate I think it was horizontally but in the Highland area, the machine cut vertically. It is a long time ago so it is for memory if that is correct? The whole of Scotland along the Great Glen (Loch Linnhe to Inverness) the land mass is turned on its side one plate pushed under the other.forming The Great Glen Loch Ness and the other lochs there. Scotland is fascinating when it comes to rocks and most other things. In fact, it is stunning in every way possible.

Just a thought from a non-scientist. ANOTHER factor might be that while there is a thick blanket of snow/ice on a continent, there is a temporary halt to the sedimentation and cementation. That would/could explain shorter historical gaps.

This video ROCKS! All puns aside, this has easily become one of my favorite videos from you, Thoughty.
It's a good video, but all of the trash regarding fossils lying in the ground for millions of years just doesn't wash. And for those who do choose to believe this story, I have some ocean front property for sale near Yuma. Given the creation model, life on this chunk of real estate would be less, though not by much, than 6000 years old. The evolutionary model doesn't take into account the layers of rock, sand, and minerals from underneath the continents where most of this very old material would have come from. If the evolutionary model were acceptable, the fossils would surely have to be deeper down.
That’s pretty cool! I’ve always been fascinated by the earth’s history, how life developed and whatnot, but this really made it come to life! Great job!

Couple of corrections: Deposition is usually formed by sediments deposited at oceans, not so much the surface. Bare surface rock is typically eroded by rain and wind, not deposited. Most of the Earth's surface today is covered by soil, not rock, and soil itself is a force of erosion as plants, fungi, animals break apart rock and mix it with decomposing matter. Also, the graphic you made of the erosion at 4:03 should've happened at the top layer, with layers then added on top. Sediments don't get removed from the middle....
That was an eye opener for sure! There have been ice ball theories floating around for a long time, and that does do a decent job of explaining it. But we can never know for sure, unless we can see it on other planets. But a great and compelling video!!
Stupendous. I'm following the channel since the beginning, and it has been almost always great. This, in particular, shows a spectacular way to narrate those events that are often perceived as uninteresting or boring. Gorgeous visuals. Man, Respect. From Italy.
What did the geologist say to his colleague? This job rocks!
Living by the snake River and seeing the side of the rocks all the time this was really interesting I’ve always wondered about their walls stories and formations
The Colombia basin basalt traps might be a part of the reason how and why the rocks around there are weird
Job well done explaining everything and keeping it all so clever and interesting as always. Definitely a good take on it all.
But how can it be so clean? I'm talking about the chunks that fell off with the glaciers. Not even a tiny part was left of that huge huge historic gap?
I still don't understand how things get deeper the longer you go back in history. Fine particles accumulate over time, sure, but where do those particles come from? Well, I'd think they have to blow over from ground somewhere else, in which case shouldn't artifacts in some areas get shallower and shallower?
This is probably one of your best episodes. Witty and informative as usual but just a notch above...cheers!
The quality of this channel is always absolutely superb, the content itself, the visuals, the graphics, it’s all great.
👆how many people sent text?👆 Do you make lots of money scamming people like this? Total scab that will get judgement.
since powells great unconformaty only concerns Laurentia (and "some other parts of the world" as said in the video), this time period had not been deleted entirely, right? There sould be layers of sedimentation elsewhere on the globe, that would allow us to trace earths evolution within that time period.
Very well presented video, but could someone explain from 2:10 where it says the hard bits of the dead fish very slowly get covered by sediment; if that process takes tens of thousands of years surely even the hard bits of skeleton would be well and truly broken up by then? Even more so were it to occur to an animal on land....?
Thoughty always makes amazing videos, the most boring concepts become very addicting and just watching these videos make you feel like history
Hearing the Earth referred to as ‘a rock trifle without custard’ is probably my favourite thing I’ve heard all month
This is a great explanation! Thank you!
I always wonder to myself, but I haven't done the leg work to check. What if that period of time is when the hypothesized Theia collided with the earth and the moon was created. I wonder to myself, if tectonic plates went through a period of time where they moved increasingly faster and then slower and what the actual speed is currently and over the last say 50 years have they sped up or slowed down. I saw i YT SHORTS video of tectonic movment and it seemed to illustrate at some point all the plates collided with one another on one side of the planet. Does this represent that period of time missing and does this possibly suggest that infact Theia hypothesis might actually have some ground to stand on? I guess good practical study would be to study the sedimentary layers of the moon's surface and it's core too. Personally i think the Theia conundrum is maybe a little over the edge but i do think the moon must have been some sort of slightly bigger mass and possibly did collide causing an incredible series of tectonic movments as well as making the surface of the earth something else for a good few million years of cool down. I wish so badly to just know more.
This was rather excellent! Interesting and thought provoking. Thoughty2, you’re a great teacher!
Something I discovered in middle school history is written by the winners. Thats when I started reading between the lines even with the magazine national geographic. Now that there are computers and so many who are diving into specific areas, times, and the loosers stories make this so much easier. Young people have so much at their fingertips. I wish they realized how easy they have it to truth search.
Weird to think there are winner geologists and loser geologists.
@@tetoffense7659 geology often effects the history of a nation.
Just look at Egypt and Dr Hawass.
