#18: Time is Just a Construct
Och, time is really just too crazy a concept for me. I had pretty much given up trying to understand it until I started collecting these facts to share with you. I mean a few minutes and seconds I can usually deal with, but when we start talking about millions and billions, it all just gets to be too much.
What’s really amazing about it is that they sound almost exactly the same. Changing just one letter between a million and a billion seconds could have grave consequences in the wrong circumstances. Like if you accidentally told someone, you’d meet them in New York in one billion seconds instead of in a million.
