Documentary Film Review: Timelapse Of The Future: A Journey to the End of Time

in #review3 years ago

Timelapse Of The Future: A Journey to the End of Time (2019) is documentary film about what is currently known about the likely ultimate future of the universe. I has got to be one of the best science documentaries I've ever seen.

Timelapse Of The Future: A Journey to the End of Time (2019) is an 29 minute 20 second long film where the speed of the passage of time doubles every five seconds. That alone should give you a pause when you think about the timescales involved because there are twelve doublings in a minute and the film is over 29 minutes long.

The film focuses on what happens on Earth and in the solar system at first. Then it discusses the different cosmological eras that will follow from the universe gradually losing sources of concentrated sources of energy. Everything in the universe dies. Even black holes will vaporize in the end. If protons decay, all matter will eventually decay into electromagnetic radiation, with the universe continuing to cool down for all eternity. According to the current scientific consensus, the universe will keep expanding forever and not collapse into a new singularity from which it emerged.

All of the material that is either accepted as factual according to the current scientific view or that which is speculative is narrated by well-known popularizers of science or the the scientists doing the cutting edge research themselves.

The music was composed and the graphics made by John D. Boswell a.k.a. Melodysheep, an American musician and filmmaker.
