The ENTIRE History of the Universe as a Pixel Art Speedrun (13.8 Billion Years in 15 Minutes)

From the Big Bang to you in one run. This is the whole 13.8-billion-year history of the universe, played as a retro pixel-art speedrun across 11 worlds. Every fact has a source (list below). Where scientists still disagree, the video says so.
