This'll probably be your most extensive series yet! As a huge Star Trek fan, I am so looking for it to this!

“The other reason is I am lazy.” Truer words have never been spoken.

There is one race missing: The Travelers from TNG. You know, the ones which took Wesley Crusher with them.

well, 15 billion years from the big bang until now is a really short time in comparison to the possible infinite age of the universe. i mean we live in the absolute perfect time where there are enough stars, planets and galaxies to explore and settle upon. i hope that humanity will make it a reality someday. we could even be the first intelligent life form in the whole universe, who knows?

LOL first intelligent life. 15 billions years of the known universe. And you think you just happen to be born in the fraction of a fraction of that time, where your type of life just happened to be the first intelligent kind. Do you really not understand how extraordinary arrogant that is? 200 billion galaxies at the barest minimum estimate. 100 billion stars in each. Minimum 300 million habitable planets in each galaxy. And billions of years for life to have started in any of them, and yet you think YOU might be the first intelligent species EVER, in any of them. Ok

There was an alternative cosmological theory that hydrogen atoms were continually popping into existence spaced throughout the universe as it expands resulting in a more or less constant average density and process of galaxy and star formation. This now seems ruled out at least within the visible universe however if the expansion of space time really does exceed the speed of light at separations beyond ten billion light-years or so then a very small but nonzero fraction of all virtual particle pairs popping into existence would be permanently separated and avoid mutual annihilation. This may be what the source of the big bang was and while the distances would be quite extreme there could be other light cones with their own big bangs within reach of a sufficiently advanced civilization. Hopefully with very similar or identical physical laws.

Humanity is not intelligent.. We can breath, eat and shit and reproduce , that makes us a living organism, far from intelligent.

The history of the universe in Star Trek is indeed vast and increasingly complex as time progresses. So much that could be explored. I look forward to seeing how this timeline series continues.

Brilliant I love this series already. Thank you so much! I have been missing your STO episodes a lot

Galaxy Quest: "Activate the Omega 13!" Star Trek: "Hey, that's cool!" Galaxy Quest, shakes head: "We were making fun of you."

I hope the STO playthrough isn't over, but I'll love this series too.

Enjoyed the video and looking forward to the rest of the series!

Since the Voth are from Earth, do they share the same genetic key fragment that humans have from the progenitors?

“Because I am lazy” love it. Work smarter not harder!

I have been waiting for this!

Fantastic story telling of the lore, looking forward to the next episode.

Really thrilled you're doing this!

Amazing job on the video!

Our own knowledge of history on Earth as far as mankind is concerned is just over 2 million years - not even the blink of an eye in the history of our planet let alone the universe. Well done on creating a relatable scale to such an incredible amount of time. It’s a great marriage of fact and fiction.

Great video! I really like that you reference the star trek series or movies where this information is revealed. Then I can rewatch those episodes connecting the new and old series as a whole story

Thank you Rick, I'm looking forward to the eest of this series

I like that you reminded us of the paradox of sufficiently advanced tech will look like magic to a less advanced species. Reminds me of a recent short story I was reading from a Pulp Fiction-esc publication, it was written from the point of view of one of the less advanced species for half of the story then from the point of view of the more advanced species. Essentially because the more advanced species is biomechanically enhanced and there are few physical markers of this the less advanced species mistakes the other for being some kind of metaphysical entities or gods. Reality is their tech is crazy advanced but still limited to processing power of data and the human (cause turns out they are the humans) brain's ability to assimilate the data so when they stare off and their eyes glow for a few seconds then snap out of it and know something in great detail they didn't a second before as their eyes stop glowing what is really happening is they are accessing a HUD projected on their retina using organic nano LEDs in the eye's fluid making a visual display.

Looking forward to watching the rest of this! Something about your delivery at 4:20 cracked me up though xD "What-ever. life. was. like. in this time..." Sounded like a ship's computer for a second

I am happy to see that you have included lore and content from the animated Star Trek series. Are you familiar with the FASA (now defunct) Star Trek RPG? It had fabulous information (in my opinion) in its sourcebooks regarding the Orions, Klingons, Romulans, and the prehistory of the Milky Way Galaxy. Looking forward to part 2 of the ST timeline.

exelent video.

Either the Great Kuala or the Nibblonians started the Big Bang. Wait a second, Kuala? The Furlings started the big bang, then evolved, like the ancients

The slavers and the cat like aliens from the cartoon are from Larry Nivens known space series. If anyone wants to learn more about that aspect of the trek universe it barrowed you should read Nivens books. World of Ptavvs it a good one to start if you want to learn about the slaver empire.

Loved it! One addition: When Q took Picard back to the primordial earth in the final TNG episode and showed him how the enterprise had stopped evolution.

That is the anti-time eruption that was mentioned.

9:49- according to Larry Niven's Known Space lore, the Slavers were brought down by a race called the Tnuctipun. The stasis box from the animated ep. 'Slaver Weapon' actually being of Tnuctipun, not Slaver origin as presumed, and likely belonged to a spy.

Yup. It is rather obvious in modern lore that Slavers were Iconians.

If you can I highly recommend the Star Trek book trilogy “the Q continuum”. Q takes Picard on a journey through Q’s past and It involves many of the ancient relics mentioned. Great read!

They all still have the core framework of Star Trek shows whether people like the stories or not, I'm happy with Discovery due to pushing the series forward in time, we're always wanting to see how far the tech advances in these shows that go into new territory. As long as these shows tell all kinds of stories and some stories that push bigots or others to rethink their views and ideology so that we can have a world with no money,class,poverty and bigotry, like all the series have since the TOS, I'll be fine with the show.

Cant wait to see how you deal with the Temporal Cold War and the timeline mess it made, along with creation of alternate universes.

so, this is an attempt to shoe horn everything from every Star Trek into a singular - of sorts - timeline. I can't say that I envy you this task.

What is this music in the beginning? I hear it on a lot of channels, but I haven't been able to find it.

In the real world the big bang wasn't a single point, but rather was everywhere. The Star Trek universe does seem to have a physical edge though.

@damenwhelan3236

Жыл бұрын

It's both. A single point that expanded into everywhere simultaneously and continuously. Not only is the distance between galaxies expanding, so too is the space between atoms, and even the distance between electrons and even the nucleus. Once the distances become too great to translate physical properties will be when matter itself dissolves and all energy even ends. The universe from this point is a total unknown. The big rip, big crunch or big chill awaits.

I assume that at some point you've read _Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future_ by Denise and Michael Okuda?

What if Q are the most powerful being from previous universe? Like Starfield main plot but on abowe and beyond cosmic scale?

I've often thought about ancient races in sci-fi and wondered if they are possible with the first stars taking some time to form, then die to give the universe more than hydrogen and helium, then more stars to form, and if there would even be enough heavy material to form planets with generation 2 stars or if it would be generation 3. I'm not an expert, but I have wondered if now is the first time there is intelligence life in the universe, since now there has been enough time to make enough heavy material that rocky planets are common.

felbercarb Do b5 time line being thats the best sci fi show so far

The time line is weird... Some humanoid species are older than others, all well and good, but the odds of there being no incredibly advanced humanoids considering humanoid origins is just.. incredible. Others shoukd have risen before those we see.

@TheRezro

I stress it is a speculation. But Star Trek has protoculture. Guardians of Forever (and Borg transwarp network) were created by T'Kon Empire, what terraformed numerous planets in the entire galaxy. When T'Kon challenged Q, it threaten stability of space time. As such they own machines rebelled against them and T'Kon capital Iconia was destroyed by orbital bombardment. But Iconians did not die. Some survived in alternative dimensions. But most was teleported around various planets, before system crashed and lost they knowledge. Those were first Humanoids. Over milenia they evolved into new species, but until discovery of Picard most assumed that they evolved naturally.

Correction. It was Supernova. But it align with series of slave rebellions and attack of mysterious machines.

In the continuum book series.. Q takes Picard back to when he was born... Q meddles with quarks and muons changing their polarity, he gets chastised by the continuum who were watching him... This was supposedly at the start, the birth of the Universe. Giving Q an age of at least 16 billion years when he "died" of old age. But also note that this is when Picards Q was born and there already existed Q elders at this point...

If I remember correctly from reading 'A Universe from Nothing, there shouldn't have been anything resembling civilization even possible (past maybe energy beings) for a good while so I wonder how people would try to fit that in with the Trek timeline.

The Doctor (Dr. Who): People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. Good luck Rick! You'll need it for covering the history of Star Trek.

The Q could also have emerged closer to the end of the universe, given that they appear to be effortlessly capable of time travel.
