A 24-hour clock illustration depicting Earth's history as a single day. The clock starts at midnight for Earth's formation, with major events like meteorite bombardment from 12:00 to 3:00 AM, origin of life at 4:00 AM, oldest fossils at 5:36 AM, sexual reproduction at 6:08 AM, emergence of seaweeds at 8:28 AM, and mammals at 11:39 PM. Humans appear at 11:58:43 PM, just before midnight.

History of Earth in 24-hour clock

I’m not sure where this is originally from, but I found it on an intro to geology course page. What happens when midnight comes around again?

"What happens when midnight comes around again?"

God banishes all the spirits who failed their test of free will into hard matter, where they are given the opportunity to evolve, spiritually speaking of course, over an infinitely long time. It is a hard path.... but Jesus returns at midnight to give liberty to those who are faithfully waiting.

@infobeautiful Ah so that's what people mean when they say the doomsday clock is 80 seconds to midnight!

It’s always amazing to me that life originated on Earth basically as soon as it possibly could. Gives me hope that it’s abundant throughout the Universe.
