themselves fall from the heavens is this 00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:13.350 just another Hollywood Blockbuster or 00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:15.190 could it be the end of the world as 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.109 foretold by ancient 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:19.150 prophecies according to many of the 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.670 world's major religions the end is 00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:24.349 coming they all have their own signs and 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.230 timelines and some of those signs 00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.310 they've already happened what if I told 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.069 you that what seems like random chaos 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.270 earthquakes plagues Wars might not be 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.470 random at all could we already be living 00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:40.990 in the final chapter of Humanity's story 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.069 Final Chapter Ralph did you forget to 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.750 renew your optimism subscription again

you hear 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.709 what's coming spoiler alert it's a 00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.630 little more apocalyptic than your usual 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:00.470 s 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.150 ASM let's explore the end of the world 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:07.109 according to Christianity Islam Judaism 00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:10.350 Hinduism Buddhism and even some Fringe 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:13.429 theories then I'll show you what the end 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.149 of the world really looks like are the 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.590 signs already here and more importantly 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.990 what happens next the answers might 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.590 change everything you know let's find 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.430 out 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:47.550 [Music] 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.350 why are we so obsessed with the end of 00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:52.230 the world why does every generation 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:55.510 believe it's the final one apocalyptic 00:01:55.520 --> 00:01:58.510 thinking Taps into something Primal our 00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:00.910 fear of the unknown and our need for 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.310 meaning it's not just about predicting 00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:06.109 Doom it's about finding our place in the 00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:09.389 story whether as Heroes survivors or 00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:11.470 witnesses to something bigger than 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:13.949 ourselves this Obsession isn't limited 00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:16.990 to one culture or era from the fire and 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.110 brimstone sermons of medieval Europe to 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.710 the Doomsday cults of the 20th century 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:26.150 The Narrative of an impending doom looms 00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:27.750 large in human 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:30.070 imagination but what if the end of the 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.710 world isn't a singular event what if 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:36.229 it's something Humanity has experienced 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:38.830 repeatedly history offers countless 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.309 examples of societal endings like the 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.070 real life disappearance of the Indus 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.070 Valley Civilization or the collapse of 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:46.790 the 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.990 Mayans these weren't just natural 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.350 disasters or invasions they were 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.229 existential resets so you're saying the 00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:57.670 Mayans Romans and moeno daro all hit 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.949 their apocalyptic unsubscribed button 00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:03.670 maybe they knew something we didn't not 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.670 quite each of these collapses was 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.390 triggered by complex factors climate 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.589 shifts resource depletion Wars or 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.110 diseases but here's the connection 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.270 mainstream religions often frame 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.190 apocalypses as Divine 00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:20.350 interventions but what if these stories 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.110 were inspired by memories of real world 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.710 collapses take the biblical flood in the 00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:29.030 story of Noah similar flood myths exist 00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.789 in Sumerian Hindu and Native American 00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:34.229 traditions could they be Echoes of a 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:37.390 prehistoric catastrophe like the delu 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:38.949 that might have followed the end of the 00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:42.470 last ice age lost civilizations teach us 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.750 that while collapses happen they're 00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:47.710 often followed by renewal the ashes of 00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:51.110 one culture feed the growth of another 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.110 this perspective refrains the apocalypse 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.789 it's not just about what ends it's about 00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:00.990 what survives and thrives 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.630 [Music] 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:06.390 let's dive deeper into the Book of 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.110 Revelation a text so packed with imagery 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.429 that it has inspired centuries of art 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.430 literature and yes even conspiracy 00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:18.030 theories it's not just about surreal 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.670 Visions it's a meticulously crafted 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.749 narrative that combines prophecy 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.749 symbolism and a call to action for 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.710 believers Revelation opens with John's 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.749 vision of Jesus a radiant figure walking 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.510 among seven golden lampstands each 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:39.189 symbolizing a church this sets a tone 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.110 the entire book is a blend of the 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.830 celestial and the Earthly the tangible 00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:46.790 and the metaphorical from there the 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.790 prophecy unfolds like a cosmic drama 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.230 take the four horsemen Conquest War 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.909 famine and death these aren't just 00:04:55.919 --> 00:04:58.830 random harbingers of Doom they represent 00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:01.790 the universal cycles of human suffering 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.469 as relevant today as they were two 00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:04.710 Millennia 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.029 ago each Horseman carries a specific 00:05:08.039 --> 00:05:10.830 warning highlighting the struggles that 00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:13.150 Humanity has faced throughout history 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.790 and continues to face today so really 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.270 we're blaming a lamb for all 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:22.749 this no it's not just any lamb it's a 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.790 symbolic representation of Christ got it 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.350 a lamb that unleashes plagues nothing 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.830 weird about that at all 00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:34.070 from the seals we move to the trumpets 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:36.870 seven of them each bringing a Calamity 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:39.830 that escalates the narrative hail mixed 00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:42.710 with blood a star called wormwood 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.790 poisoning the waters and even locusts 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.110 with human faces tormenting 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.150 Humanity these aren't ordinary plagues 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.590 they're apocalyptic theater meant to 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.390 evoke fear and awe and then of course 00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:00.270 there's the mark of the beast Revelation 00:06:00.280 --> 00:06:02.870 13 describes this Mark as something 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:05.230 people will be forced to accept on their 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.309 right hand or forehead without it they 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.150 can't buy or sell a chilling vision of 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.270 economic and social 00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:16.670 control but the context here is crucial 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.430 the Mark is tied to worshiping the Beast 00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:22.230 a symbol of ultimate allegiance to evil 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.350 forces historically interpretations of 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.749 this passage have ranged from Nero's 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.990 oppressive rule in ancient Rome to 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.790 Modern concerns about surveillance and 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.070 digital control the mark of the beast 00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:37.749 pretty sure my gym membership has that 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.830 did you see those cancellation 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:43.189 fees can you try to please 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.749 Focus the mark of the beast is often 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.830 interpreted as a symbol of ultimate 00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:50.870 control some say it could be microchips 00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:55.309 digital currency or even wait for it QR 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.710 codes the Antichrist meanwhile serves as 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.550 the Central and an Agonist in this 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.430 apocalyptic narrative he's not just any 00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:06.629 deceiver but someone who imitates Christ 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.909 leading many astray through false 00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:10.869 promises of peace and 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.710 prosperity this isn't just about fear 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.029 it's a lesson in discernment urging 00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:18.950 Believers to look Beyond appearances the 00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:21.589 antichrist's rise highlights the human 00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:24.230 tendency to follow what seems easy or 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.670 convenient even when it's 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.150 destructive this layered imagery in 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.990 Revelation isn't just about predicting 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.430 the future it's a warning and a road map 00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:36.469 it challenges readers to reflect on 00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:39.390 their values choices and the forces they 00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:41.990 follow for early Christians facing 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.309 persecution it was a call to endure for 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.670 us today it might be an invitation to 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.430 question the systems we live within so 00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:53.830 while Revelation may sound like a medial 00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:57.189 heavy metal album cover and to be fair 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.710 it is it's also a deeply human story and 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:06.620 their story is far from 00:08:06.630 --> 00:08:08.909 [Music] 00:08:08.919 --> 00:08:12.070 over in Islam the end of the world is 00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:13.830 called yam 00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:17.189 Al or the day of judgment it's a moment 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.309 of ultimate accountability when every 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.869 soul will stand before the Creator to 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.909 answer for their actions but before this 00:08:24.919 --> 00:08:28.390 event unfolds the Quan and hadiths 00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:31.070 outline a series of signs of the hour 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:34.070 which are divided into minor and major 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.990 the minor signs well they're a mirror to 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.709 the state of the world moral decline 00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:42.110 rampant corruption greed running 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.590 unchecked and natural disasters that 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.150 feel like they're coming in waves sound 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:50.350 familiar wait moral Decline and 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.389 unchecked greed are we talking about the 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.509 apocalypse or the latest season of 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.470 succession not a bad comparison at all 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.230 but things get even more intense when we 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.670 look at the major signs these aren't 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:06.269 subtle hints they're Monumental events 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.550 signaling that the end is at hand first 00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:12.750 there's a daja the false Messiah 00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:15.509 described as a master deceiver he said 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.470 to perform Wonders that Captivate the 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.190 masses leading many astray in the 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.829 process think of him as the ultimate con 00:09:22.839 --> 00:09:26.389 artist but on a cosmic scale then we 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.389 have the second coming of Jesus or Esau 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.430 who holds a central role in Islamic 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.590 eschatology his return Isn't just 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:38.030 symbolic it's pivotal Jesus is 00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:40.230 prophesized to confront and defeat the 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.069 daa restoring order and Truth before the 00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:45.990 final judgment it's not just about good 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.750 versus evil it's the ultimate Reckoning 00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:52.030 wait so Jesus and the djal Go Head 00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:54.630 to-head this is sounding less like 00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:58.310 Theology and more like a Pay-Per-View 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.550 event adding to the drama is the 00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:03.509 emergence of the Mii a mysterious figure 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.550 known as the guided one his role is to 00:10:06.560 --> 00:10:08.870 unite Humanity under Justice and 00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:11.150 righteousness Paving the way for a new 00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:14.710 era of Peace some believe the Mii is a 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.509 future figure yet to appear but there 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.509 are Whispers that he could already be 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.710 among us waiting for the right moment to 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.069 step into the 00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:25.790 spotlight these signs both minor and 00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:28.389 major aren't just predictions they're 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.310 deeply symbolic 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.069 each sign builds toward the crescendo of 00:10:33.079 --> 00:10:35.269 the day of judgment a time when the 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.150 choices we've made won't just matter 00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:41.720 they'll Define 00:10:41.730 --> 00:10:44.710 [Music] 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.750 us judaism's perspective on the end 00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:50.150 times is fascinating because it's not 00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:52.550 focused on destruction but 00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:54.990 transformation unlike other Traditions 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.430 that predict fiery conclusions or Cosmic 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.230 reckonings Judaism envisions the coming 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.389 of the Messianic age a time of universal 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.470 peace Justice and spiritual awakening at 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.230 the heart of this belief is the Messiah 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.509 a figure who will Usher in this new era 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.710 by bringing peace rebuilding the temple 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.350 in Jerusalem and uniting All Nations 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.110 under Divine Law but here's the key 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.750 difference Judaism doesn't explicitly 00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:24.949 describe the end of the world just the 00:11:24.959 --> 00:11:27.629 end of the world as we know it so 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.110 instead of an apocalyptic phenomen 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.350 it's more like a cosmic reboot where the 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.069 current struggles and imperfections give 00:11:35.079 --> 00:11:37.550 way to an ideal state of Harmony in 00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:41.069 purpose so basically the Messiah comes 00:11:41.079 --> 00:11:44.670 in and says okay everyone take five 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:47.870 we're resetting the universe for act two 00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:51.269 bold I like it someone has to balance 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.310 out all the Doom and Gloom exactly this 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.389 focus on renewal rather than destruction 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.910 is Central to Jewish as kology but that 00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:03.030 doesn't mean the road to the Messianic 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:05.870 age is smooth the journey is marked by 00:12:05.880 --> 00:12:08.990 signs and they're not exactly subtle 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.509 prophecies mention a period of Wars 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.509 chaos and widespread moral decline a 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.829 time of Chev masiak or the birth pangs 00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:20.030 of the 00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:23.069 Messiah it's a concept that suggests 00:12:23.079 --> 00:12:25.350 that before the world can be reborn it 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.389 must endure labor pains difficult and 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.509 turbulent But ultimately leading to 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.990 something extraordinary and here is 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.310 where it gets really interesting while 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.990 these signs have been interpreted in 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.430 various ways throughout history they're 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.189 not just Cosmic markers they're deeply 00:12:42.199 --> 00:12:45.189 tied to the cycles of history and human 00:12:45.199 --> 00:12:47.350 behavior take the rebuilding of the 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.269 temple in Jerusalem for example in 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.509 Jewish tradition the Third Temple 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.910 symbolizes the restoration of divine 00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:56.949 presence and A Renewed connection 00:12:56.959 --> 00:12:59.710 between humanity and the divine 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.590 but throughout history every attempt to 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.550 rebuild the Temple has been fraught with 00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:06.389 political social and even military 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.550 challenges today discussions around its 00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:13.189 reconstruction still stir intense debate 00:13:13.199 --> 00:13:14.829 both within and Beyond the Jewish 00:13:14.839 --> 00:13:17.430 Community let me guess every time 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.389 someone mentions rebuilding the temple 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.750 the headlines practically write 00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:24.110 themselves tensions rise in the Middle 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.189 East Messiah loading please wait that's 00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:31.189 not far off for some Modern events 00:13:31.199 --> 00:13:33.750 geopolitical shifts the growing push for 00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:36.069 Global unity and even technological 00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:38.310 advancements are seen as aligning with 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.629 the ancient prophecies Fringe theorists 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.110 point to these developments as evidence 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:51.710 that the Messianic age is closer than we 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.310 think meanwhile hinduism's concept of 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.189 time is as vast and intricate as the 00:13:57.199 --> 00:13:59.990 universe itself and instead of a linear 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.910 trajectory with a clear beginning and a 00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:04.590 clear end time is seen as cyclical 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.910 endlessly looping through four distinct 00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:11.629 ages or yugas right now we're in K Yuga 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.189 the fourth and final stage of the cycle 00:14:14.199 --> 00:14:16.350 and let's just say it's not exactly a 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.949 golden age K Yuga paints a vivid picture 00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:23.350 of decline humanity is gripped by greed 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.389 dishonesty and selfishness and even 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.430 sacred Rivers dry up famine grow distant 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.230 leaders become corrupt and truth becomes 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.069 harder to find it's a time of imbalance 00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:38.550 where the bonds that once tied 00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:40.949 communities together begin to fray and 00:14:40.959 --> 00:14:43.389 even nature itself reflects Humanity's 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.629 disconnection so kuga is like Earth's 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.870 version of hitting rock bottom greed 00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:52.870 dishonesty I'm guessing this is also 00:14:52.880 --> 00:14:56.430 where social media comes in once again 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.590 you're not far off Hindu text describe 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.710 this era in detail showing how 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.790 materialism and strife dominate the 00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:06.550 world but here's the thing it's not all 00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:09.430 doom and gloom every cycle no matter how 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:14.230 dark eventually resets enter Ki the 10th 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.269 and final Avatar of vishu Ki is 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.910 described as a warrior on a white horse 00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:22.470 armed with a Blazing Sword arriving to 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.509 cleanse the Earth and restore 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.550 balance his arrival symbolizes renewal a 00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:31.990 cosmic reset leading to Satya Yuga the 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.269 age of truth but Kali Yuga isn't just 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.949 about waiting for divine intervention 00:15:37.959 --> 00:15:40.230 Hinduism emphasizes that while these 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.910 Grand Cycles are inevitable the choices 00:15:42.920 --> 00:15:45.990 we make within them really matter even 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.350 in the chaos acts of kindness wisdom and 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.590 spiritual growth hold profound 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.090 significance 00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:59.269 [Music] 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.949 Buddhism offers a perspective on the end 00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:04.910 times that focuses Less on fiery Cosmic 00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:07.110 upheavals and more on the gradual 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.150 unraveling of human potential instead of 00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:12.910 a single catastrophic event it envisions 00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:15.430 a decline in the Dharma the teachings of 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.350 the Buddha over time societies Drift 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.990 from compassion and mindfulness becoming 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.389 mired in ignorance greed and hatred this 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.030 erosion leads to cycles of suffering as 00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:29.230 individuals and communities lose touch 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.509 with a path to Enlightenment so 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.389 basically it's like Humanity keeps 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.509 hitting snooze on its spiritual alarm 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.309 clock until we sleep through the wakeup 00:16:38.319 --> 00:16:41.829 call it's a poetic way to put it Wendell 00:16:41.839 --> 00:16:44.230 but even in this decline Buddhism 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.910 emphasizes that it's not the end it's a 00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:50.670 transition the Dharma May weaken but its 00:16:50.680 --> 00:16:54.269 Essence isn't lost forever renewal is 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.590 always possible enter mraa the Buddha 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:02.269 yet to come mraa is prophesized to 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.069 appear when the world has sunk into 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.150 chaos and the teachings of sidara gaama 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.470 the current Buddha have faded from 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.390 memory his arrival will Mark a new era 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.909 of Enlightenment guiding Humanity back 00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:18.949 to the path of wisdom virtue and 00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:22.029 compassion interestingly this cycle of 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.750 Decline and renewal isn't just a warning 00:17:24.760 --> 00:17:27.630 it's a call to action even as the Dharma 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.270 wains Acts mindfulness kindness and 00:17:30.280 --> 00:17:31.710 wisdom are 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.390 vital Buddhism teaches that while the 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.590 decline of the Dharma may be inevitable 00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:40.750 how we respond to it is entirely within 00:17:40.760 --> 00:17:44.090 our 00:17:44.100 --> 00:17:46.990 [Music]

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.830 Doom from the cryptic quatrains of 00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:01.110 Nostradamus to the infamous Mayan 00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:03.310 calendar the world has been on the brink 00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:06.149 of Destruction for centuries at least 00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:09.470 according to someone somewhere do you 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.310 remember 00:18:10.320 -->

--> 00:18:37.669 were starring in The Walking Dead the 00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:40.470 2012 prediction was a perfect storm of 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:42.590 misunderstanding the Mayan calendar 00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.510 didn't predict the end of the world it 00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:46.710 marked the end of a cycle which is like 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.390 saying your car's odometer hitting 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:50.909 100,000 miles means your car is going to 00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:53.789 explode yet fear has a way of amplifying 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.110 these things and the

00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:34.029 even habitable worlds could emerge from 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.990 the chaos then there's the heat death of 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.470 the universe a time when all energy will 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.990 be evenly distributed leaving the cosmos 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.990 in a state of Maximum entropy picture a 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.470 universe the void of motion light and 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.669 heat a slow Fade Into silence it sounds 00:21:51.679 --> 00:21:53.830 Bleak but it's also the ultimate 00:21:53.840 --> 00:21:55.110 expression of 00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:58.110 balance and for a more dramatic twist 00:21:58.120 --> 00:22:01.909 consist the Big Rip ooh like my big rip 00:22:01.919 --> 00:22:04.470 after eating Taco Bell leftovers earlier 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.710 today don't be disgusting and no not 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.590 like you're in digestion issues you need 00:22:10.600 --> 00:22:13.909 help in this scenario The Accelerated 00:22:13.919 --> 00:22:15.549 expansion of the universe doesn't just 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.149 pull galaxies apart it stretches the 00:22:18.159 --> 00:22:20.830 very fabric of SpaceTime until it can no 00:22:20.840 --> 00:22:24.149 longer hold atoms planets and eventually 00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:26.710 Stars will be torn leaving behind a 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.549 fragmented Universe oh no no oh 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.750 dear you're safe for now wend these 00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:35.909 events are billions if not trillions of 00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:38.590 years away but what's remarkable is how 00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:40.950 these scientific theories mirror the 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:44.149 Cycles described in Hinduism or Buddhism 00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:45.950 whether it's the dissolution of the 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.269 yugas or the waning of the Dharma the 00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.470 end isn't simply a cessation it's a 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.590 transformation the end of the world has 00:22:54.600 --> 00:22:56.830 often been imagined as a single 00:22:56.840 --> 00:23:00.070 cataclysmic event but history and 00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:04.230 science suggest otherwise Earth's past 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.990 is marked by cycles of Destruction each 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.070 one reshaping the planet and resetting 00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:12.470 civilization take the younger dras 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:16.070 period around 13,000 years ago ice 00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:18.630 course samples suggest that a dramatic 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.269 cooling event was triggered by a 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.470 combination of celestial and terrestrial 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.789 disasters a significant impact possibly 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.470 from a meteor coinci Ed with a massive 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:32.430 volcanic eruption throwing Ash and 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.070 debris into the atmosphere the result 00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:39.070 years of Darkness global cooling and 00:23:39.080 --> 00:23:42.750 widespread chaos crops failed animal 00:23:42.760 --> 00:23:45.149 populations bummed and early human 00:23:45.159 --> 00:23:48.830 cultures faced an existential crisis but 00:23:48.840 --> 00:23:51.590 then roughly A Thousand Years Later the 00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:54.510 Earth rapidly warmed some suggest 00:23:54.520 --> 00:23:57.029 another impact or perhaps a massive 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:01.510 solar event ice caps melted Seas Rose 00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:04.269 and life adapted once again these 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:06.630 weren't isolated incidents they were 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.870 cycles and civilizations no matter how 00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.230 advanced could be swept away in their 00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.190 wake now imagine this scenario in our 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:20.070 modern world every November Earth passes 00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:22.990 through the tared meteor stream a cosmic 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.110 Minefield of debris left by a giant 00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:28.549 Comet that broke apart Millennia ago 00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:31.190 most of the time these meteors put on a 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:34.029 harmless Celestial light show but every 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.549 so often one of these space rocks comes 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:41.789 dangerously close in 1908 the Tusa event 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.710 flattened 800 square miles of Siberian 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.510 forest and that was just a fragment but 00:24:47.520 --> 00:24:50.070 it's okay right we're not in danger from 00:24:50.080 --> 00:24:51.789 the torrid meteor stream or governments 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:59.630 have a plan right 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.560 no we're 00:25:03.570 --> 00:25:11.350 [Music] 00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:14.070 not imagine it's a crisp November 00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:16.630 evening the sky is clear and the TD 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.630 meteor shower is putting on its annual 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.149 show friends and families Gather in 00:25:21.159 --> 00:25:23.470 backyards and parks to Marvel at the 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:25.430 streaks of light cutting across the 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.590 heavens for centuries we've looked up at 00:25:28.600 --> 00:25:30.789 this Celestial display with awe never 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.310 suspecting it could hold the seeds of 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:35.070 our destruction but this time 00:25:35.080 --> 00:25:37.430 something's different amid the shooting 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.830 stars a fireball Solly ignites the sky 00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:44.549 it's larger brighter and moving with a 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.389 menacing Precision at first it's 00:25:47.399 --> 00:25:50.230 mesmerizing a glowing orb painting the 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.830 heavens in shades of white and orange 00:25:52.840 --> 00:25:56.389 but as it grows dread begins to set in 00:25:56.399 --> 00:25:58.590 this isn't a passing light it's an 00:25:58.600 --> 00:26:01.389 approaching Doom oh no it's probably 00:26:01.399 --> 00:26:04.230 just a big Comet 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.149 right not this time the fireball Roars 00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:10.630 closer and then in an instant it 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.350 disappears Over the Horizon silence 00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:17.029 relief washes over you maybe it burned 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.710 up in the atmosphere you say maybe it 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.190 missed but then comes the light a flash 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.950 so intense it turns night into a searing 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.190 blinding day your instincts scream 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.269 urging you to run though there's nowhere 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.350 to hide a few moments later the shock 00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:37.110 wave arrives the ground heaves beneath 00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:40.269 your feet like a living thing buildings 00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.590 collapse as if made of paper the 00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:44.350 deafening Roar of the explosion 00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:46.870 reverberates across continents 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.950 shattering Windows thousands of miles 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.269 away and this is only the beginning at 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.110 Ground Zero the meteor vaporizes 00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:58.269 everything in its path entire cities 00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:00.950 forests and rivers are obliterated in an 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.789 instant the impact unleashes earthquakes 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.590 so powerful they Ripple across tonic 00:27:06.600 --> 00:27:09.269 plates triggering volcanoes and tsunamis 00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:13.070 on a global scale California San Andreas 00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:16.070 fault cracks wide open the Pacific 00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:18.750 Northwest succumbs to the Cascadia 00:27:18.760 --> 00:27:21.310 abduction Zone and the New Madrid fall 00:27:21.320 --> 00:27:24.870 turns the Midwest into a sea of rubble 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.029 the skies darkened as debris from the 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.830 impact is curled into the atmosphere 00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:33.230 blotting out the sun winds stronger than 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.789 1,000 mph whip across the planet 00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.350 flattening everything in their path this 00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:42.110 isn't just a storm or a hurricane it's a 00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:44.669 pulverizing machine tearing apart 00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:48.389 anything in its way skyscrapers crumble 00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:51.190 ancient stone structures vanish and the 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.509 air becomes a swirling massive 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.990 destruction and all this is if the 00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.190 meteor hits land 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.430 but if the meteor hits the ocean the 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.750 scenario is even worse a tsunami taller 00:28:06.760 --> 00:28:08.630 than the highest mountains rises from 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.830 the impact moving at unimaginable speeds 00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:15.190 of up to a mile in High by the time it 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.750 reaches the shores it's a wall of water 00:28:17.760 --> 00:28:21.549 Laden with debris ships buildings forest 00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.350 and everything it's consumed wave after 00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:27.269 wave pummels the land carving new Coast 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:29.269 lines and dragging entire cities Into 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.149 the Depths if this sounds like the stuff 00:28:32.159 --> 00:28:35.110 of nightmares consider this it's 00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:37.909 happened before the Earth has reset 00:28:37.919 --> 00:28:40.190 itself countless times and with every 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.750 reset civilizations are erased not just 00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:46.750 destroyed but buried hidden beneath 00:28:46.760 --> 00:28:50.149 layers of mud and debris so deep that 00:28:50.159 --> 00:28:52.230 modern archaeology hasn't even scratch 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.389 the surface wait so all the secrets of 00:28:55.399 --> 00:28:58.269 ancient civilizations are just sitting 00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.990 under a th000 ft of 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.990 dirt that's exactly right after an 00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.470 impact of this scale the land wouldn't 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.509 look like a post-apocalyptic Wasteland 00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.870 littered with ruins it would be blank 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.549 Horizons of mud and sand everything 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:16.630 ground to dust and buried beneath layers 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:19.430 of sediment even modern cities with 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:21.750 their towering steel and glass would 00:29:21.760 --> 00:29:24.909 vanish without a trace this is why we 00:29:24.919 --> 00:29:27.029 found so little evidence of advanced 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.110 civilizations for recorded history it's 00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:32.630 not that they didn't exist it's that the 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.870 Earth has a way of wiping the Slate 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.269 clean entire cultures their Innovations 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.630 their histories reduced to Whispers and 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.350 myths and legends it's a chilling 00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:45.710 thought what we call the end of the 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:47.909 world may simply be the

00:30:15.590 one day the odds may not be in our favor 00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:17.710 and when that day comes it won't be the 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.110 end of the world just the end of our 00:30:20.120 --> 00:30:23.190 world and here's the thing governments 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.669 know about these dangers they've studied 00:30:25.679 --> 00:30:28.310 the Tor and meteor stream and

because they can't they don't 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.669 tell us it's easier to let the public 00:30:47.679 --> 00:30:50.110 watch the meteor showers blissfully 00:30:50.120 --> 00:30:52.470
