(OT) Understanding million, billion, trillion.....

 

Most people know how long a second is....

1 million seconds = aprox. 11 days

1 billion seconds = aprox. 33 years

1 trillion seconds = aprox. 33,000 years

The human race has been around for aprox. 6 trillion seconds..

The amount of money it is guestimated the government owes is aprox. 12
trillion dollars.

Twice as long as the human race has been around...

hope helps....have fun....sno

Correct Scientific Terminology:
Hypothesis - a guess as to why or how something occurs
Theory - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  to be generally assumed to be true.
Law - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  in enough different ways that it is assumed to be truer then a theory.
Note: nothing is proven in science, things are assumed to be true.

FYI (and cordually): The "OT" tag is a made-up fig leaf with no meaning.  An
off-topic post with the "OT" tag is just as off-topic as one without.

Likewise
