History World Two Hours Blu Ray @ Amazon.com
Earth has long had it is faithful sun emitting rays
But what if we were to look out in the clear sky
And see two suns rather of one on a bright day?
What if this new sun will glamorize the humane eye?
What if this sun will make night a thing of the past
‘Cause the Betelgeuse star scheme will alter very soon?
This star has lost it is fuel and it can’t outlast
Exploding in a conflagration like a balloon.
The light from Betelgeuse will reach the underworld
There will merely be no night for a long period.
God will be alone for creating His new world.
Like in ‘ Theogony’ written by great Hesiod.
In the middle ages people actually thought
That the sun rises always early in the night sky
When mysterious events by the fate are brought
And they were so affraid thinking that they could die.
One such bad event had occurred shortly before
The Tunguska incident that it could have been caused
By a meteorite, they loudly said ”No more! ‘
But the light over Britain a few hours lasted.
If the sun were to have an illuminating
Companion for assorted weeks, we might forget
And we might not have another understanding
Of what night means on our dear humane planet.
It would mean that supernova genuinely happened
Many years ago, as light may travel very fast
This event with prophecy may be associated
Would it be the end of the world like in the past?
Will there be two suns in our blue sky numerous day?
Betelgeuse is rather sufficient to raise a lot of eyebrows.
But would it be the end of the world? Who may say?
Any way what I think it’s that not a single soul knows.
Did you recognise that 1% of the white noise you see on your television is in truth background radiation from the Big Bang? This CGI-driven particular will tell the 14 billion year history of our world in two hours. It?s an epic story that will give surprising connections to our daily lives.

Good summary of our world history
By Eddie
Just saw the show on the History Channel. Quite well done, though without the commercials and repeats it was more like history of the world in 60-70 minutes. It would have been much better had they cut down on repetitions and added more details on human history. They did talk about the role of religions in our development. Well done, entertaining and without any major fabricated parts and, as far as I could tell, everything was based on evidence at hand.

By K. Harris
With its bold promise and provocative title, the History Channel documentary “History of the World in Two Hours” has a lot to live up to. But seriously, anyone who thinks this will be a complete or comprehensive chronicle of almost 14 billion years is probably setting their expectations a little high. For one thing, as this aired on the History Channel with commercials–it actually boils down to 88 minutes from start to finish! Heck, who needs a full two hours? The title is a teaser, a novelty. This is a breezy and entertaining trip through history that starts with concepts related to the formation of earth and ends in contemporary society. In between, we hit certain highlights from the realms of chemistry, biology, astrophysics, paleontology, anthropology and history that help to overview key components that made life possible, sustainable, and able to evolve into its recognizable modern configuration. Certainly, this isn’t an in-depth analysis of any one thing in particular, it’s just a quick glimpse of important elements that were vital in shaping the earth as we know it.
Perhaps the strongest aspect of “History of the World in Two Hours” comes in its early segments when we’re discussing how certain elements were formed that contributed to earth being a viable planet on which life could thrive. The sciences combine to form an intriguing tale of evolution and I like that the piece shows how the physical composition of the atmosphere changed, gives the reasons behind it, and points to future consequences. As the documentary progresses, however, the components can become a bit more hit or miss. And while it seems rather cursory and simplistic, the dispersal of humans, the growth of civilizations, and the union of the continents through exploration give one a lot to think about. Very little time is spent on the modern world as we are still but a blip on the scale of history, and again we’re left with random points of significance.
I don’t know that if you’re looking for a serious study of complex topics that “History of the World in Two Hours” will fulfill all your needs. It is meant for the more casual viewer. It might serve as a nice introduction for some, or an interesting conversation starter for others. Employing the trademark History Channel CGI effects and plenty of quick cut editing, the film flies by at a rapid pace and is great to look at. At the end of the day, I may not have learned much new from this documentary–but it was never less than fascinating to see what someone else thought were the high points in nearly 14 billion years of existence. Thoroughly entertaining, occasionally enlightening, this is a fun overview as long as your expectations are realistic. At 88 minutes, it’s quite a ride. KGHarris, 3/12.

Excellent summary
By D. Wissing
I viewed this show on the History channel and found it to make a very complex subject understandable for most lay people. Excellent graphics along with good narration. The science presented was accurate aside from a few gaps in our understanding that was not covered. Very plausible ideas presented to give a good summary from the big bang to why are here on this planet today.
