Birth of the Earth

Summary The full history of the earth is boiled down to 12 hours on the clock. Within the first hour some 20 planets are formed from cosmic dust, they keep colliding, and our present planets are finalized, including our own moon. Minerals solidify on the cooling crust of the earth. Water is captured from space, and the first simple living organisms start working on changing the atmosphere. This is many "hours" before the dinosaurs. Humans emerge within the last minutes, but could theoretically live on earth as it was long before that.
