Big universes. Big numbers. How do we make sense of billions? Our brains just aren’t wired to do it, although we’ve seen some pretty amazing ways that we measure stuff on those largest scales.
A weatherman in Belgium has set up the Billion Second Clock. It will count up to 1,000,000,000 in seconds. Which will take 31.69 years. That’s a big number.
You can send a message to the future, too! I said “I hope you’re all being nice to each other. Have we put a guy on Mars yet?”
(↬ Let’s count to one billion seconds, unfortunate use of Comic Sans at the link)
