Timelapse of the Future is a 2019 short documentary film created by musician and astronomy-themed filmmaker John D. Boswell. The 29-minute film is a time lapse of the universe from 2019 to the end of time, comprised with self-made, stock, and fair use footages from the Internet and speeches from scientists, with the lapse doubling every five seconds, using current knowledge, combining different hypotheses. The film is released on Boswell's YouTube channel melodysheep on March 20.
Plot
A quote by Helen Keller was displayed: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence."[B]
The Anthropocene era begins. Natural occurrences, such as the River Nile shifting, tornadoes, and New York City flood happens, as well as the revolutionary humans landing on Mars, and Earth's magnetic field flip. Comet Hale-Bopp returns in the year 3357, followed by drastic sea level rising, a 30-meter asteroid impact, and Antares becoming supernova. Sahara becomes tropical in 14,811, and Voyager 1 passes nearby star in 38,874. In 97,583, a supervolcano erupted, followed by the Apollo 11 footprints fading in 968,657, and Betelgeuse becoming supernova in 1,618,565. A Gamma-ray burst occurs, followed by Mars' moon becomes a ring in 13,109,213, which caused Saturn's ring to fade in 26,565,938. Antarctica then melts in 43,343,155, followed by a major asteroid impact in 70,606,131, and a new supercontinent in 153,793,159. The Sun's luminosity increases in 427,821,025, which caused plants to die in 833,270,413, and life as a whole on 2,952,729,059. The Sun then expands and becomes Red Giant, and died as a white dwarf in 7,650,412,497. Other stars then slowly die, making the universe end in the opposite way from a bang.
The "Degenerate" era begins in the year 134 trillion. The universe is filled with rocks and brown dwarfs, luminated by white dwarfs. Some brown dwarfs collide and form supernovas, whereas neutron stars making a brighter supernova. Any extraterrestrial life might live in white dwarfs, but even they will die and become black dwarfs. Weak stars will then be sucked by a black hole. The film then looks at the possibility of the expansion of the universe in the year 9 billion trillion trillion. However, protons might decay, making a matter impossible to exist.
With protons decaying, the Black Hole era begins. The universe will be filled with solar systems of black holes, and particles of light wandering around. At some point, binary black holes might exist, and releasing massive energy when they merge. The era ends in the year 159 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, when the Hawking Radiation comes to life, which makes black holes die, and darkness lighted back. The universe then expands again by the dark energy, and if continues expanding, will cause the universe to expand forever.
If willing to do so and having the resources, theories predict that humans can create a virtual or real-life universe of their own. However if human's can't do so, entropy will destroy the last remaining black holes. The last black hole evaporates in year 15 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, and the universe ends in the year 8 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion.
The incomplete quote[1] by Keller is then completed: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence. And I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content."[C]
Production
There is not much statements about production of the film, other than that "Creating it required months of research into physical cosmology, where speculations about the ultimate fate of the universe are legion, and often contradictory."[2] He stated that he was inspired by Carl Sagan's talk about the cosmic calendar. He then further explained:[2]
My original plan was to make something more like an art installation piece where there wouldn’t be so much talking and facts; it would basically just be the timeline and some chill music and meditative imagery of black holes that would just span for like 10 minutes at a time, and you’d get this abstract impression of how long the future is going to be, and how much emptiness there is. But the more I dug into it, the more I found there’s so much to talk about, and so much to say, that it would be foolish to waste this opportunity. I had a draft of this [in June 2018], and felt it needed to be taken to the next level. So I spent another six months really digging into the VFX of it all, and the research, and figuring out how to build the flow of it and the structure and how to make it work. And I am glad I did. There’s just so much to say, and so much I had to leave out. But it came together really well and I am pretty stoked about how it turned out.
He also clarified that the video is in no way scientifically accurate, and that "It’s guaranteed you’re going to have to do a lot of speculation anyway, so I’m not too concerned about scientific accuracy when it’s impossible to predict the future."[2]
Reception
The film received generally positive reviews online, by regular viewers, YouTubers,[3][4][5] bloggers, and astronomy enthusiasts. As of July 11 2020, the film gets 37,957,319 views, and 1.5 million likes, as opposed to 41 thousand dislikes, thus making a 97.4% rating. It will be able to generate USD19,000-151,800, according to Social Blade.
Blogger Jason Kottke states that, "You’d think that after the Earth is devoured by the Sun about 3 minutes in, things would get a bit boring and you could stop watching, but then you’d miss zombie white dwarfs roaming the universe [...], the black hole mergers era 1000 trillion trillion trillion trillion years from now, the possible creation of [...] universes, and the point at which 'nothing happens and it keeps not happening forever.'"[D][6] Space enthusiast and blogger M. Özgür Nevres says that "If this video won’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will."[7] Astronomy journalist Sam says that "[The] 30 minutes are true mind expansion. [...] The production quality of the sound and visualizations are state of the art. It is a truly must-see video."[8] German blogger under the username ThousandSacha said that Boswell "has traveled into the future of the future and shows [us] what the current state of science looks like in our universe if you fast forward to infinity. In just a minute we are all forgotten, everything turns into an all-consuming black hole and death takes longer than life."[9] Medium writer Ahmed Kabil says that "The effect of [the Sun's] demise coming so early in the video is unsettling, akin to Hitchcock killing off Janet Leigh’s character less than a third of the way through Psycho."[2]
Similar projects
Boswell also makes similar documentaries related to cosmology, such as Timelapse of the Entire Universe,[10] The Secret History of the Moon,[11] etc. They were generally enjoyed for the quality, emotion, and scientific accuracy.[12][13][14] He also makes music and remixes based on astronomical elements, such as Children of Planet Earth, where he remixes the Voyager Golden Record,[15] and Man on the Moon, where he remixes the Apollo 11 recordings.[16] All of his music are part of the series Symphony of Science.
