A billion seconds vs. a trillion seconds

Post Reply New Topic

A billion seconds pass by in a human lifetime. A trillion seconds however takes more than 30,000 years to pass by.

This shows just how big a trillion really is.

A million dollars might buy you a fleet of a 100 new economy cars.

A billion dollars would buy you a fleet of 100,000 new cars.

A trillion dollars would buy you 100 million new cars.

That's why it scares me so much how so many countries in this world are hundreds of trillions in debt because of this pandemic. It would take about 30,000 years to pay it all back, even though it only takes a few months to get them into that amount of debt.
