I was too busy looking at the CG (muddy) to actively listen to the narrator. It took a few tries to hear her, but when I did it was the usual au courant scientific drivel. I wonder in 20 years from now how much 'science' will have been 'updated' and this looking quite dated indeed.

Preaching the empty words of ignorant theory along with ugly muddied graphics.

That people actually like / believe this fairy tale is frightening.

At approximately 2/3 of the way through you can see jesus creating a star cluster in the top right hand corner of the video.

I love this stuff. It is short because a huge super computer is no where near as fast as the massively parallel computer that is the size of a melon called a brain. The simulation probably took a long time to run. My guess is that each neuron in a brain is a computer. keath_199 wake up, there is a real world out there.

Lovely, lyrical. Had to give it 5 stars instead of 4 to balance the creationist types commenting here. ;-)

It's too bad, that the Big Bang or evolution can't be proven with computer graphics and empty words. I'm going back to watching Star Trek Voyager now, where I can listen to some more evolution fiction.

it's a sweet little animation which is mind-blowing from the proper perspective.

Keath i have no idea what you're talking about in your review. what does expansion have to do with a hot universe? and what does single star formation have to do with the large scale structure of the universe? and note: there is no "wrong way" in space when refering to planetary rotation and orbits.

this animation is pretty darn sweet but not long enough!

Pretty good CG, only problem is that the story line wasn't true.
If the universe did expand for 15 billion years, that would make even the hundred years a pretty crowded & hot place, life on planets would be un unhabitable not to mention the atmosphere levels would be off.

No one has seen or witnessed a birth of a star, they assume that that is the case because it is in a whirling pattern thuss it had to come into an explosion some time, how would that explain that some of the planets are rotating the wrong way?

Anyway's besides that, its a pretty neat animation.

This is actually a very good animation if only you could see it, It is much shorter than a trailer. It is like watching the beginning of a show but it cuts out when you realize that this might be building up to something spectacular. There is also a lot of buzz of how it is HDTV quality (mpeg2) or (dvd) which this short piece honors that. So I think if I go to the source and they have it available on media, I will buy it. They had the whole show for sale for home use. But I could not believe it was on the low end vhs tape and not DVD while the other product were on both. That is all, I had it.

A breif snipet of beautiful graphics from a supercomuted simulation of cosmic evolution. The voiceover is informative and there is only minor superficial graphics imposed upon the animation.
The section of animation is just too short.

This may be some trial. Released from junk basket.
