Q&A

What is the timeline of the video?

The video covers billions of years, from the Big Bang to the present, on a 10-minute scale.

How did stars and galaxies form?

Stars formed from the collapse of primordial gas and dust, while gravity connected star systems to form galaxies.

What is a black hole?

A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses, creating an infinite void of blackness with immense gravitational pull.

How do stars die?

When stars run out of fuel, they collapse and explode in a supernova, releasing elements into space and giving birth to new stars.

How did the Earth and life on it form?

The Earth formed from the debris of the solar system's formation, and life began with simple microscopic organisms evolving over billions of years.
