Million vs. Trillion
My last post reminded me of something my dad taught me:
To get an idea how much bigger one trillion is than one million, ponder this: A million seconds is 12 days; a trillion seconds is 32,000 years.
Now get this: It is estimated that in the Universe there are a trillion stars for every human being on planet Earth.

In the grand scheme of things, quite humbling, as we are pretty insignificant.
