One month of cosmic calendar time = 1.15 billion years of real time One week of cosmic calendar time = 265 million years of real time One day of cosmic calendar time = 38 million years of real time One hour of cosmic calendar time = 1,575,000 years of real time One minute of cosmic calendar time = 26,300 years of real time One second of cosmic calendar time = 438 years of real time Enter your age in real time: 23 years Convert your age into cosmic calendar seconds 604440 x cosmic calendar seconds. This is the fraction of a second ago that you were born. Fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of the age of the universel Now let's consider some other events that happened in the past. Each EVENT in the table below happened the number of years ago that is shown in the REAL TIME column. Convert this into how much COSMIC CALENDAR TIME in the past this was assuming our year-long calendar.
