1
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,480
It's
morning in the forest.
2
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,120
And for this troop
of chimpanzees,
3
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,040
it's time to get out of bed
4
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,960
and get on with the day.
5
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,640
But when you sleep in
a nest 40 meters up in the air,
6
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,320
it can be a bit of a challenge.
7
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,120
This morning ritual has
been playing out like clockwork
8
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,320
for countless generations.
9
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,240
A rhythm driven by one of the most
mysterious properties of our universe.
10
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,160
Time.
11
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,080
And time is playing an
extra important role
12
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,800
for one female chimp.
13
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Celeste is in her mid-30s,
14
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,040
and she has a ticking
clock inside her.
15
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,840
A clock that was set
13.8 billion years ago.
16
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,800
From The Big Bang came atoms…
17
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,040
…and energy…
18
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,800
…which have journeyed across
vast reaches of space.
19
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,760
And these ingredients
20
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,720
are now assembling…
21
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,720
to create a new life.
22
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,760
In Celeste's womb, a tiny
chimpanzee is forming.
23
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,320
It will be another 150 days
before this baby meets the world.
24
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,440
That's the time it takes.
25
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,120
And without time,
26
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,440
nothing in our universe
would ever be born.
27
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,920
From the youngest chimpanzee…
28
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,800
to the oldest black hole.
29
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,280
But how did time start
in the first place?
30
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Does everything experience
time in the same way?
31
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440
And will our universe's
clock ever stop ticking?
32
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960
The day begins for a
chimp much as it does for us.
33
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,280
Breakfast.
34
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,360
A critical meal… when
you're eating for two.
35
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Celeste is already
an experienced mom.
36
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Her firstborn, Apollo, is the
dominant male of the troop.
37
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960
And he can be a bit slow to
get going in the morning.
38
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Each chimp is a different age.
39
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Each has a distinct personality.
40
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,120
But all of them are
creatures of routine.
41
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Their lives governed
by the passage of time.
42
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,840
We can't see it.
43
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,040
Or hear it.
44
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,720
We can't influence it in any way.
45
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,480
And yet, every heartbeat,
every choice and action,
46
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,800
every inaction is a consequence
of time's continuous flow.
47
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,400
It can whiz by or drag on.
48
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,040
But time ticks ever onward.
49
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Stars and planets
form, age, and die.
50
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,400
In their wake, new stars emerge.
51
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,720
And from a rare few,
52
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,600
the most mysterious objects
in the universe are born.
53
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,320
Black holes.
54
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,840
Time is the cosmic conductor.
55
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Nothing can escape its grasp.
56
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,240
Although we have devices that
can track and measure time…
57
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,920
…chimps don't.
58
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,800
Celeste and her family use
the sun as their guide.
59
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Rising and arcing
across the sky.
60
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,120
As it moves…
61
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,080
so do they.
62
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Chimps rarely sleep in
the same nest twice.
63
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Each morning, they head off
in search of fresh fruit.
64
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,280
Journeying from one part of
their territory to another.
65
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320
But right now, the ripest fruit…
66
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,640
is on the other side
of an open plain.
67
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,240
Apollo and the strongest
members of the troop go ahead
68
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480
to make sure it's
safe for the others.
69
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Out in the open,
70
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,240
they're vulnerable to
predators, rival chimps,
71
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,000
and the heat of the rising sun.
72
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,560
They need to be quick.
73
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,760
Time is ticking.
74
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
The sun traveling across the sky
75
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600
forms the chimps'
basic unit of time.
76
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,440
From sunrise to sunset
and back to sunrise.
77
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,000
The 24-hour day.
78
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,400
But a day is not actually
a measure of time at all.
79
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,200
It's a measure of motion.
80
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,480
As our planet
rotates on its axis,
81
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:18,120
the forest moves through space
at 1,600 kilometers per hour.
82
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,400
It takes 24 hours for
Earth to do one full turn.
83
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,000
Giving the chimps 24
hours of movement,
84
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,880
12 in sunshine and
12 in darkness.
85
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:41,680
Again and again.
86
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:52,080
It's our planet's steady spin
that sets Earth's master clock.
87
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,200
And is the chimps'
trusted timekeeper.
88
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,080
But this essential cycle
we take for granted…
89
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,840
is not universal.
90
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480
As soon as you leave
our home planet…
91
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,960
…the 24-hour day
no longer applies.
92
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,840
Flying closest to the sun…
93
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,520
…is the planet Mercury.
94
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Compared to us, it
rotates at a snail's pace.
95
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,760
Our neighbor Venus
spins even slower.
96
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,200
It takes longer to
rotate on its axis
97
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,760
than it does to orbit the sun.
98
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Making Venus's day
longer than its year.
99
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,640
Each planet has its
own unique day length.
100
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Including planets far
beyond our solar system.
101
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,440
Sixty-three light years away,
102
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,280
orbiting a young star,
103
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,640
is Beta Pictoris b.
104
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,240
It spins so fast…
105
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000
…it bulges out at the sides.
106
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,160
It is the fastest-spinning
world we know of.
107
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Here, a day lasts
just eight hours.
108
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Every planet in our universe
spins at its own speed.
109
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Billions of worlds,
110
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,440
each with their own clock,
111
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800
ticking away to
different rhythms.
112
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,880
But all moving forward on a
universal cosmic timeline.
113
00:12:58,560 --> 00:12:59,640
Back on Earth,
114
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120
with the sun now almost
directly overhead,
115
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,560
the chimps know exactly
what time it is.
116
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,360
It's lunchtime.
117
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,760
And their crossing of the savanna
has been timed to perfection.
118
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,400
They've hit the jackpot.
119
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,680
These sweet berries of
the African grape tree
120
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,560
are only around for a few weeks.
121
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,600
A rare seasonal gift
from the forest.
122
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:16,280
Where the middle of the day
is a very productive time.
123
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Animals of all sizes are
tending to their daily tasks.
124
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,880
And each experiences
time differently.
125
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,800
For small creatures that
live fast, short lives…
126
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,960
…lunchtime can feel
like a lifetime.
127
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
For slower, longer
living things,
128
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280
an hour can go by in
the blink of an eye.
129
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
But whether you're
living in high speed
130
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,120
or in slow motion,
131
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,000
all life in the forest must
adhere to the same 24-hour day.
132
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,920
And as the world keeps spinning…
133
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,560
…those days keep ticking by…
134
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,720
dictating the lives
of every chimpanzee.
135
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,760
One in particular.
136
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,920
At just 15 weeks,
137
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,960
this baby's entire body could
fit in its mother's hand.
138
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,440
For it to fully form,
139
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,760
a cascade of perfectly
timed events must occur.
140
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,360
For the next 130 days,
141
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,480
every minute, every
nanosecond is critical.
142
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,160
New cells divide and grow with
remarkable speed and precision.
143
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,200
Right now,
144
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,680
brain cells are multiplying at a
rate of around 15 million per hour.
145
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,800
All of us, from our
very first moments,
146
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,160
have a deep biological
relationship with time.
147
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,120
As the sunlight wanes,
148
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,280
the chimps instinctively
switch gears.
149
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,080
To evening mode.
150
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,920
Nesting calls signal
to the whole troop.
151
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,560
It's time to find a safe
place to spend the night.
152
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,560
Their bedding needs
to be soft but strong.
153
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,640
It doesn't hurt if it
tastes good either.
154
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,800
The rhythm of every
day in the forest
155
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,360
is determined by the
sun's position in the sky.
156
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,000
But the chimp's
innate sense of time
157
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,920
comes from something
inside them.
158
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,680
Deep in their brains
is a biological clock.
159
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,520
Bundles of neurons
act as a pendulum…
160
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,400
…controlled by genes
that switch on and off…
161
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,960
and a cycle that
repeats every 24 hours.
162
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,320
These clock genes create a
circadian rhythm in the body
163
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,200
that waxes and wanes in sync
with our planet's rotation.
164
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Controlling hormones…
165
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,520
…heart rates,
166
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,640
and energy levels.
167
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,760
And right now, the chimps' body
clocks are sending the message,
168
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,720
"It's time to get sleepy."
169
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,560
Not everyone can though.
170
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,240
Celeste's baby's brain
is still forming.
171
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,000
With no internal
clock of its own,
172
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,240
it relies on its mother's
hormones to keep it synchronized.
173
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,360
But baby doesn't
always get the memo.
174
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,120
Lucky for Celeste,
175
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,560
with so much growing to do,
176
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,520
her baby does
eventually drift off.
177
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,520
While the chimps go to
sleep high in the treetops…
178
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,680
other forest dwellers
are just waking up.
179
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,400
Body clocks tick away
180
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,760
in the cells of plants and
animals throughout the forest.
181
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,520
Clock genes evolved two and
a half billion years ago
182
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,600
in the first living cells.
183
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Those that could anticipate the light
and dark of a day had an advantage.
184
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,920
And as life evolved,
185
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,840
it synchronized
to Earth's motion.
186
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,680
So that today,
187
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,400
these clocks exist in almost
every creature on Earth.
188
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,440
Although some creatures
prefer day and others night…
189
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,200
all life is dancing
to the same beat.
190
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Thanks to cellular clocks
191
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,240
that tick in time with
the spin of our Earth.
192
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,520
As yesterday becomes a memory…
193
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,440
…another new day
begins in the forest.
194
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,000
A fresh cycle,
195
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,160
and yet, no clock can
ever truly be reset.
196
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,240
And there are subtle clues all
around the forest that reveal why.
197
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:38,040
Nothing is the same today
as it was yesterday.
198
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,640
Least of all Apollo,
199
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,160
who seems to have woken up
on the wrong side of the bed.
200
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,320
When he's in a bad mood…
201
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,840
the rest of the group just
need to keep their heads down.
202
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,560
He soon finds a target
for his rage, though.
203
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,120
Some of the younger chimps
have found honey for breakfast.
204
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,240
And they forgot to invite
Apollo to join them.
205
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,080
You soon learn, never get on the
wrong side of the dominant male.
206
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,400
He's got a nasty bite.
207
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Thankfully, it's
not too serious.
208
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,440
With a bit of care,
this wound should heal.
209
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:53,040
But wounds leave behind scars,
210
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,120
etched into the chimps' bodies.
211
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,520
Indelible marks of the past that reveal
the one universal truth about time.
212
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,560
It has a direction.
213
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000
You can never go back in time…
214
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,320
…only forward into the future.
215
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,920
This is time's arrow,
216
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,840
and it leaves
scars on everything
217
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,520
across Earth…
218
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,400
…and beyond.
219
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Our moon is pockmarked with battle scars
that tell stories of ancient events.
220
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,840
So too are the planets.
221
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:08,640
Their surfaces testament to a lifetime
of bombardment by asteroids and comets.
222
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,120
But perhaps the most impressive
impact crater in our solar system
223
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080
belongs to a moon of Saturn.
224
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Mimas.
225
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,560
The Herschel crater is
130 kilometers across.
226
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,840
Whatever created
this enormous scar…
227
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,280
must have come close to
shattering the moon to pieces.
228
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,080
Mimas lives to tell the tale.
229
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,400
But events like this
are irreversible.
230
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,360
And they differentiate
the past from the present.
231
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Impact craters are timestamps
232
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:28,840
that mark a unique
moment in history.
233
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,360
We can never revisit the
moment they were created.
234
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,640
But we can piece together
traces of past events
235
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,480
and map a course
back through time.
236
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,880
Before craters.
237
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Before planets.
238
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,080
Before stars.
239
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,680
Back to a time before time.
240
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,400
Our universe had a beginning.
241
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,960
A very big bang…
242
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,800
that created
three-dimensional space
243
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,560
and time.
244
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,240
But space and time
are not separate.
245
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,840
Time is woven into the
fabric of the universe.
246
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Bound to space as our
universe's fourth dimension.
247
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400
The Big Bang set the
universe's clock ticking.
248
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280
Propelling everything
into the future.
249
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,040
It created the arrow of time.
250
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,960
From our universe's
very first moments…
251
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,640
…it pushes us all
into the future,
252
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,200
causing everything to grow,
253
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,480
age…
254
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,440
…and change.
255
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,000
From childhood…
256
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,120
…to adulthood,
257
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,080
we all travel through life
in the same direction.
258
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Getting older day by day.
259
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,800
And with age comes wisdom
260
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,640
as youthful innocence is
replaced by experience.
261
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,520
Time's arrow leads us
through these stages of life.
262
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,080
It shapes us.
263
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,440
Defines who we are.
264
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,520
From our first moments…
265
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,800
to our last.
266
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,480
Chimps rarely live
past the age of 40.
267
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,840
Nothing is immortal.
268
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,240
Everything that exists in our
universe has a finite lifespan.
269
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,960
Including, perhaps,
the universe itself.
270
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Today, the galaxies
are filled with stars.
271
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:33,600
But 95% of stars that will ever
exist have already been born.
272
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,400
So, as our universe
journeys into the future…
273
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,080
…the stars…
274
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,800
…one by one, will blink out…
275
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,200
…leaving the universe to face
an ever-darkening future,
276
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,680
stretching out for trillions,
277
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,920
that's thousands of
billions, of years.
278
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,640
The age of starlight
279
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,280
will be followed by a
dark age of black holes.
280
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,840
These monsters feed on the
remnants of dead stars and planets.
281
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,040
And as they do,
282
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:36,320
their ever-increasing gravity scars
the very fabric of the universe.
283
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,400
Distorting both space and time.
284
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,080
The edge of a black hole,
called the event horizon,
285
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,400
is a region where gravity
has become so strong
286
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,880
it causes time to slow down
practically to a standstill.
287
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,280
But even black holes
can't escape time's arrow.
288
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,920
In the far, far future…
289
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,360
…when there are no stars
or planets left to consume,
290
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,600
they will begin to starve.
291
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,000
And slowly…
292
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,920
very slowly,
293
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:40,840
they will shrink.
294
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,000
When they die,
295
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,400
no one truly knows
what comes next.
296
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,960
But it could be the
end of our universe.
297
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,760
Here on Earth, none of us
can slow the passage of time.
298
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,280
And one of Celeste's aunts is
reaching the end of her time.
299
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Retreating from the group, she
heads into the forest alone.
300
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,840
She has lived many years.
301
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,080
But this day will be her last.
302
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,520
While the world
continues to spin,
303
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,040
her body lies still.
304
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,160
But time doesn't just
carry us toward endings.
305
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,400
It also creates beginnings.
306
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,760
As days turn into weeks
and weeks into months,
307
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,600
there are big changes for
one special chimpanzee.
308
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,480
Say hello to Cosmo.
309
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Her brain and limbs
are now fully formed.
310
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,400
And her eyes are ready
to see the world.
311
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,960
The exact timing of her
birth is impossible to know.
312
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,400
But she could be
born any day now.
313
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,760
She's been in the
womb for eight months.
314
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:43,480
But her journey
began long, long ago.
315
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,600
The elements that made
her came from dying stars.
316
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:58,320
The water that flows through her
body came from distant worlds.
317
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:06,920
The energy that powers her muscles
came from the heart of our sun.
318
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:13,040
But it's that most
mysterious ingredient,
319
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:18,200
the one that started ticking
13.8 billion years ago…
320
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,800
that has led all other
ingredients to this moment.
321
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,240
In this place.
322
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,200
On this planet.
323
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,920
Another sunrise,
another morning.
324
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:57,520
And this one is extra special.
325
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,520
Welcome to Earth, Cosmo.
326
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,680
This precious moment will
never be repeated for Celeste.
327
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,760
But Cosmo's journey
has just begun.
328
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,280
It will take around three months
329
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,040
for her body clock to synchronize
to the rhythm of the planet,
330
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,400
one year before she
can truly communicate,
331
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,680
and perhaps 15 years
until she is fully grown.
332
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,520
So much lies ahead.
333
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Like Cosmo,
334
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,360
our universe is
still in its infancy
335
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,640
at the beginning of an
unimaginably long lifespan.
336
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,920
We are living in the
age of starlight.
337
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:19,160
A moment when time's arrow has
filled the universe with beauty…
338
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,440
…and wonder.
339
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,520
But it's a brief window of time
340
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,200
that will never be repeated in
the history of our universe.
341
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,720
No one can slow the
passage of time,
342
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,160
nor should we try.
343
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,920
Because without time,
344
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,480
there would be no now.
345
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:08,160
No moment in the sun.
346
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,920
No moments, period.
347
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,720
Without time,
348
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,160
there would be no life.
349
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,120
Next in the story
of our universe,
350
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,440
Earth's seasons.
351
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,760
Like a mother bear
raising her cubs…
352
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,680
…we all experience our planet's
yearly transformations.
353
