    A million seconds ago is about two weeks ago...

    when is a trillion seconds ago?

    a billion seconds ago is the year 1994.

    Isn't that 1984? Or wait, maybe that's a billion?

    You make it too easy:

    2026 - 1994 = 32.

    32,000 years ago is approximately 29976 BC.

    A million seconds is 1.65 weeks.

    A billion seconds is 32 years.

    A trillion seconds is 32000 years.

    Using US definitions of "billion" and "trillion".

    Wow. So, you're saying between BB and BC?


    around the global colding days..


    1994 and 2026 are not too far apart...32 years.

    How did it get sooo far apart from 1994????

    Shut up, StarMaker, also you're not funny.


    18262 days is 50 years of calendar days,
    365 days/year x 50 years + 12 leap days, basically
    for an idea of making a new computer epoch
    at Jan 1 2020 instead of Jan 1 1970.

    i was wondering what Elon trillion dollars looks like...


    So, if a second is here. and a million here.................................................................................and a trillion here, which dot is the billion?

    It depends on what is meant by trillion and billion.

    1 trillion, short scale, is 10^12.
    1 trillion, long scale, is 10^18.

    1 billion, short scale, is 10^9. It is also called "milliard" in the corresponding languages (French; German: Milliarde).

    1 billion, long scale, is 10^12.

    Let me put it this way...

    with Ai doing Math..

    eventually

    the Math people would be
    UNABLE to verify Math.

    It's the death of Mathematicians.

    It's no longer...Math, is it?


    Ai will cause mathematicians to...die.

    How To Get A Million Dollar Grant!

    Let Ai build you a million dollar grant!

    (throw in some Ai math)

    I think I will create a grant to build a bomb that can blow up the
    planet Venus.

    Why blow up Venus???? To move the planet Mars into the...habital zone.


    I can show you the Ai Math, but nobody here would have the ability to
    verify it.
