Okay, now this is too weird. I was ready to call it a night, but headed over to YouTube to watch a couple quick videos, and look what Google suggested to me for my viewing pleasure: 158,962,555,217,826,360,000 - Numberphile. Sometimes, I feel like I'm being followed.

With that, night, all. Hope I don't dream about bears...again. Tongue

Many, many websites use Google analytics.

Same with Facebook like buttons.

Double-Click.net, etc....

Uhhh how did they get the seconds of the earth?

6000*365*24*60*60

oh wait, that's some other group's estimate

Related, my oldest sister attends a church that tells its sheeples that the Earth is 10,000 years old.

well, they're improving their estimates then... 4000 years at a time

how many seconds has the earth existed
435,355,989,674,234,985,345,394,783,892,394,837,983,847,293,957

Now, that would be one helluva APP! The number climbs with each passing second. And when somebody ask what time is it, they're shown the APP tickin' away... with a Timex ad underneath it.

IIRC, the Earth is about 5 Billion years old. That works out to 157.788x10¹⁸ seconds. Or:
157,788,000,000,000,000,000 seconds.

The quoted number is off by more than a few orders of magnitude. I noticed because it was far to close to the "number of possible Bitcoin addresses" number.

At least he didn't claim the Earth was 1.892x10¹¹ seconds old

IIRC, the Earth is about 5 Billion years old. That works out to 157.788x10¹⁵ seconds. Or:
157,788,000,000,000,000 seconds.

The quoted number is off by more than a few orders of magnitude. I noticed because it was far too close to the "number of possible Bitcoin addresses" number.

Edit: initially calculated for 5 trillion years Tongue

herb, or is it Herb, why are the first two numbers rounded, and the latter two exact? Is Google going broke and no longer able to support the manpower to count grains of sands resorting to guessing? I wonder if they considered all the sand at the bottom of the oceans. And what about sand mixed in with dirt--multi-racial sand (bet you didn't see that coming)?

One more thing: Herb, meet Dank.
