Large numbers can be very meaningless.
If humankind (homo erectus) has appeared 3 million years ago, how long is its possible future (before the sun goes out 3 billion years from now)?
If the past 3 million years is taken as one year then the future is 1,000 years long (3,000,000,000/3,000,000) with each scaled year being ... actual years. |
