I could subconsciously hear the old Bell & Howell reel-to-reel projector clicking away and "see" the analog photo frames whirring by in the 'filmstrip'....
Not to get political, but it reminds me of the old argument on our inability to comprehend (in any practical way) higher orders of magnitude; like an amount of money as large as, say, a $2T corona-virus stimulus package:
1000 minutes = 16.7 hours - what most of might consider a very long work day, and unfortunately, well within our normal comprehension
1M minutes = 16,667 hours = 694 days = 1.9 years - maybe the highest order of magnitude we can really relate to on a practical level
1B minutes = 1,900 years = approx. back to the BC/AD timeline (about 25 times the current expected human lifetime)
1T minutes = 1.9M years = last stage of the Cenozoic Era
Not to fret though, it looks like another $1.5T is on its way. And, if Sagan is right, it's just my petty conceit that worries about it anyway.
