Why it works
The opening globe evolves for 21 seconds, moves from familiar geography to a stranger past, and turns that spectacle into a concrete evidence question by 0:37. The two-location journey at 0:37–0:59 makes a four-billion-year scale easier to follow, while the hand-drawn ocean-floor maps at 3:24–3:34 coincide with the strongest replay peak in the measured six minutes. A new objection or proof resets attention around 2:35, 3:13, 4:10 and 4:59.
