I can't wait to experience that billions of year in the future.
You are off by many orders of magnitude.
That number is way too big for this monkey brain to understand.
For a little context, saying our sun is seconds from dying is about as accurate as saying the universe will undergo heat death in billions of years (taking heat death to be no more active stars left in the universe).
Comparing orders of magnitude or comparing proportion?
A trillion can still be counted in billions. Same as all the other orders of magnitude above that. 👍
just use decimals for the ones below
We're talking about big enough numbers to whip out the scientific notation. Even counted in billions.
Still, just the same.
