Humans can only see light
in the middle of the spectrum.

161
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,376
Our eyes can't perceive light waves
that are too long or too short-

162
00:11:48,459 --> 00:11:51,128
the infrared and the ultraviolet.

163
00:11:51,212 --> 00:11:53,547
It's a world that's invisible to us...

164
00:11:53,631 --> 00:11:56,801
but not to every animal.

165
00:11:56,884 --> 00:12:00,221
- Some hawks can see ultra violet' light.
- [ Shrieks ]

166
00:12:00,304 --> 00:12:03,849
An adaptation that allows them
to track prey from above...

167
00:12:04,642 --> 00:12:08,854
as the light bounces off urine
that rodents use to mark their trails.

168
00:12:17,071 --> 00:12:20,408
Pit vipers evolved special organs
to sense heat...

169
00:12:22,493 --> 00:12:24,703
so they can track their prey
with infrared light...

170
00:12:24,787 --> 00:12:27,039
that we could never see.

171
00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:38,008
If we could see it all,
we'd be oven/vhetroed.

172
00:12:40,678 --> 00:12:46,058
So our eyes evolved to pick out the parts
of the sun's light we need the most.

173
00:12:46,142 --> 00:12:48,686
Most mammals see the world like this.

174
00:12:49,562 --> 00:12:52,898
Their eyes only have cells
to detect two colors-

175
00:12:52,982 --> 00:12:55,443
blues and greens.

176
00:12:55,526 --> 00:12:59,655
But humans have a third type of cell
for detecting reds.

177
00:12:59,738 --> 00:13:01,574
Soto us...

178
00:13:01,657 --> 00:13:04,160
the same scene looks like this.

179
00:13:14,545 --> 00:13:17,882
Why can we see colors
that other animals can't?

180
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:24,513
Big history links back 20 million years.

181
00:13:32,897 --> 00:13:35,232
It starts with our early ancestors-

182
00:13:35,316 --> 00:13:37,651
primates who live in the trees...

183
00:13:37,735 --> 00:13:41,614
where the ability to see red
is an advantage.

184
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:45,493
It allows them to spot
brightly colored fruit...

185
00:13:45,576 --> 00:13:48,245
against a background of green leaves.

186
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:53,417
Humans inherit
this full-color daytime vision...

187
00:13:53,501 --> 00:13:55,669
which gives us an edge.

188
00:13:55,753 --> 00:13:59,173
[ Benjamin ] Humans are exquisitely
adapted for daytime activity...

189
00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:03,260
which meant that we were able
to hunt so successfully...

190
00:14:03,344 --> 00:14:05,513
and eventually regulate
all of our activity...

191
00:14:05,596 --> 00:14:08,724
to the sun, to this regular cycle
of day and light.

192
00:14:11,477 --> 00:14:14,480
[ Narrator] But there are
always trade-offs in evolution.

193
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:19,944
Full-color vision is good
for finding food in daylight...

194
00:14:21,737 --> 00:14:23,322
but eyes that see color well...

195
00:14:24,823 --> 00:14:26,575
don't see well at night.

196
00:14:28,077 --> 00:14:31,497
The color-detecting cells
in our eyes turn off...

197
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:34,792
and change our perception of reality...

198
00:14:37,378 --> 00:14:39,380
to muted shades of gray.

199
00:14:40,965 --> 00:14:45,219
Our night vision cells
are 100 times more light sensitive...

200
00:14:46,428 --> 00:14:49,557
but they're simpler than the cells
that perceive color.

201
00:14:53,352 --> 00:14:56,146
[ Benjamin ] The view we get
of the dark is much less clear.

202
00:14:57,314 --> 00:14:59,525
It's more mysterious.

203
00:14:59,608 --> 00:15:03,320
We don't see this great spectrum
of colors or anything with clarity.

204
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:08,909
[ Narrator] This makes night
a world of mystery and danger...

205
00:15:08,993 --> 00:15:13,080
where a daytime predator
can suddenly fall prey...

206
00:15:13,163 --> 00:15:16,250
To a creature evolved to see
in the shadow world.

207
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:18,502
- [ Growling ]
- [ Man Groans]

208
00:15:21,380 --> 00:15:24,592
[ Narrator] Big history reveals
how this adaptation to the sun...

209
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:26,594
connects to our psychology.

210
00:15:27,761 --> 00:15:30,723
For humans, light is good.

211
00:15:31,682 --> 00:15:33,434
Darkness is evil.

212
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:41,942
In so many origin stories,
we have light piercing the dark.

213
00:15:43,402 --> 00:15:46,780
And we equate that light
with the divine itself.

214
00:15:47,531 --> 00:15:51,160
And we equate what we don't like
and what we don't want with dark.

215
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:59,043
And what we see there
is a rise of duality.

216
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,631
Once you worship the sun,
you must fear the dark.

217
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:08,469
[ Narrator]
The fight between good and evil...

218
00:16:08,552 --> 00:16:12,890
Connects mankind's religions
to the secrets of the sun.

219
00:16:14,391 --> 00:16:18,729
But there's an even bigger link
between the sun and our beliefs.

220
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:22,775
And it's hidden in the very moment
of creation.

221
00:16:27,488 --> 00:16:31,408
[ Narrator] Big history uses science
to see the world in a new way.

222
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:35,537
It reveals that the sun
controls our minds...

223
00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:37,831
from our perception of time...

224
00:16:41,877 --> 00:16:44,088
to our view of reality.

225
00:16:48,884 --> 00:16:51,553
The sun has the power to shape us.

226
00:16:57,059 --> 00:17:00,854
And while traditional history tells us
that many ancient civilizations...

227
00:17:00,938 --> 00:17:02,856
believed the sun is a god...

228
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,359
big history connects
these ancient religions-

229
00:17:05,442 --> 00:17:06,527
[ Screams ]

230
00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:08,946
To the birth of the solar system.

231
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:25,963
This is our cosmic neighborhood
nearly five billion years ago...

232
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:28,340
a time before the sun.

[ Thunderclaps]

234
00:17:29,717 --> 00:17:32,886
[ Man ] if we go back
before the sun came into existence...

235
00:17:32,970 --> 00:17:36,306
what we would see
is sort of a vast cloud...

236
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:38,350
of gas and dust...

237
00:17:38,434 --> 00:17:42,354
about a light-year across
and containing the entire mass of the sun.

238
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:49,486
[ Narrator]
An ancient star explodes nearby.

239
00:17:50,404 --> 00:17:53,907
It unleashes a shock wave
that rips through the gas cloud...

240
00:17:56,827 --> 00:17:59,496
and sends it into a tailspin.

241
00:18:01,874 --> 00:18:05,502
[ Filippenko ] That started collapsing
due to its own weight.

242
00:18:05,586 --> 00:18:09,047
And it spun faster and faster
as it collapsed.

243
00:18:11,258 --> 00:18:15,012
[ Narrator] Gravity pulls together
a dense cluster of debris in the center.

244
00:18:16,764 --> 00:18:19,558
The remaining cloud
ﬂattens out around it.

245
00:18:24,229 --> 00:18:26,440
[ Benjamin ]
So now we have a great spinning disk.

246
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:31,612
And in this spinning disk, the sun
eventually coalesces under gravity...

247
00:18:31,695 --> 00:18:35,324
reaches this incredible temperature of 10
million degrees Celsius and lights up.

248
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:39,369
The sun lights up.

249
00:18:42,372 --> 00:18:43,749
Let there be light.

250
00:18:47,085 --> 00:18:49,087
[ Narrator] The sun is born.

251
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:53,801
And in its wake,
something else appears.

252
00:18:53,884 --> 00:18:58,639
[ Filippenko ] The sun gobbled up 99%
of the matter in the cloud of gas.

253
00:18:58,722 --> 00:19:03,060
But a little bit was left over
in this ﬂat plain...

254
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:05,729
and it coalesced
into the different planets.

255
00:19:15,739 --> 00:19:17,699
[ Narrator] Planets like Earth.

256
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:23,080
So just as the ancients believed,
the sun is the creator...

257
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:26,416
the giver of life.

258
00:19:27,501 --> 00:19:31,338
And big history reveals
the way our planet is made...

259
00:19:31,421 --> 00:19:33,799
makes us who we are.

260
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:46,186
The Earth is born in a spinning disk...

261
00:19:46,270 --> 00:19:48,730
and it never stops spinning...

262
00:19:48,814 --> 00:19:52,860
both on its axis
and its orbit around the sun.

263
00:19:52,943 --> 00:19:55,821
And it's these spins
that are encoded in everything-

264
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:58,907
from our civilization...

265
00:19:59,408 --> 00:20:01,159
to ourselves.

266
00:20:03,287 --> 00:20:06,665
[ Benjamin ] These two principal spins
that really affect life here on Earth-

267
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:10,711
the great orbiting of our planet
around the sun on an annual basis...

268
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:14,214
and this 24-hour spinning cycle-

269
00:20:14,298 --> 00:20:17,593
are both embedded
in the way species evolved here...

270
00:20:18,385 --> 00:20:22,806
the way we perceive of time
on an annual basis, on a daily basis...

271
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,679
the way we understand
forces of light and darkness...

272
00:20:25,726 --> 00:20:30,230
that's inﬂuenced our psychology,
our philosophy and our religion and so on.

273
00:20:31,148 --> 00:20:34,735
And these initial forces created
by this vast spinning disk...

274
00:20:34,818 --> 00:20:37,321
that coalesced into a sun...

275
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,781
is therefore embedded
in our everyday reality.

00:20:44,995 --> 00:20:47,247
It's astounding
how much is inﬂuenced...

by the early creation
of the solar system.

278
