    So freaking cool!

    I’ve always wished someone would make a video of 15 billion yrs in 15 mins: A big flash of bright light; followed by a steady darkening into a cluster of galaxies within the first minute; followed by a zoom into empty space between galaxies and complete darkness for the next 10 minutes; followed by a sudden focus on the milky way and a zoom in to witness birth of sun and planets all within seconds; followed by a zoom in on earth in the last few minutes to show the geological and biological changes in a rapid-fire series of snapshots. It could end with a statement that the scale was too short to show humans since the last 1 second needed to show around 15 million years of change :-)
