Timelapse of the Future: A Journey to the End of Time is a 2019 short epic animated pseudo-documentary web film created by American astronomy-themed musician and filmmaker John D. Boswell, following Timelapse of the Entire Universe. The 29-minute film is a flowmotion—a combination of a hyper-lapse, time-lapse, and regular shots—of the universe from 2019 to the end of time, with the lapse doubling every five seconds. The film consists of self-made and fair use footages films, the Internet, and speeches by scientists, using current knowledge, and combining different hypotheses. After six months of production, it was released on YouTube and screened on several venues; it also won the 2020 Webby Awards. The film became viral, garnering millions of views and generally positive reviews. The film is also the inspiration of a song and music video by Noah Cyrus; she praised the existential elements of the film. A spin-off, Life Beyond, was later made. Plot The film opens and closes with a quote by Helen Keller: "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence. And I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content." The Anthropocene era begins. Following natural events, humans land on Mars, and Earth's magnetic field flips. Comet Hale-Bopp returns in the year 3357, followed by extreme sea-level rise, an asteroid impact, and Antares going supernova. The Sahara becomes tropical in the year 14,811, and Voyager 1 passes Gliese 445 in the year 38,874. In the year 97,583, supervolcano Yellowstone erupts, followed by the Apollo 11 footprints fading in the year 968,657, and Betelgeuse going supernova. Next, a gamma-ray burst occurs, Phobos becoming a ring system, whereas Saturn's rings disappear. Antarctica then melts in the year 43,343,155, followed by a significant asteroid impact in the year 70,606,131, and the formation of a supercontinent in the year 153,793,159. The Sun's luminosity increases in the year 427,821,025, causing plants to die in the year 833,270,413, followed by life as a whole in the year 2,952,729,059. The Sun then expands and becomes a red giant — destroying Earth in the process — before dying as a white dwarf in the year 7,650,412,497. Other stars then slowly die, making the universe end in a whimper. The last red dwarfs die in the year 100,000,000,000,000. With stars having completely run out of fuel, the Degenerate Era begins. The universe contains pulsars, black holes, and brown dwarfs, barely lit up by
