Since the beginning of time, Earth has created life and then wiped out most of it in catastrophic, ultra-destructive moments. Early Earth was already a hostile place, but these savage events were the absolute worst periods in history to be alive. So naturally, I thought it’d be fun to send me there.
Obviously, I can’t travel back in time, but DigiPeter can. In this video, we’ll show you just how you would die during the most dangerous times Earth has ever seen.
