    Very cool - thanks for sharing - we've become so used to throwing large figures around - it's good to see what a trillion dollars actually looks like.

    I prefer the time metaphor - one second equals one dollar

    one million seconds == eleven and one half days

    one billion seconds == thirty two years

    and

    one trillion seconds ago the last of the Neanderthal were disappearing from Europe. (thirty thousand years)

      A Quadrillion seconds is about 32 million years. I don't really have a frame of reference for that. A geologist might. Or Doctor Who.

        32 million years ago is about when apes and our hominoid ancestor diverged from the Old World monkeys.
