Question
When you hear stories about dinosaurs living 100 million years ago (mya) that sounds like a long time ago, but how long is it really? The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and our universe is 13.5 billion years old. That amount of time is extremely difficult to imagine. Hopefully, this discussion will help put the age of the earth in perspective.
For this discussion please watch the video below then create discussion post about whether your concept of geologic time has changed or what you found interesting about the video.
Name of Video: Earth's History Plays Out On A Football Field | NPR's SKUNK BEAR
Explanation / Answer
According to the video, Dinosaurs formed before 176 million years. The concept of Earth’s geologic time got cleared after watching this video. Since the football ground was used to explain, it was easy to understand how the earth has possessed this much time with organisms. The interesting thing about this video is the object kept to represent humans. Though the object is small, the contribution made by humans to good and bad is massive in this earth.
