One of the biggest human handicaps is the inability to fully comprehend numbers of great magnitude. We are not wired for values that high. Heres an example that helps: Imagine counting to a hundred: It would take you a minute and 40 seconds (counting one number each each second) Imagine counting to a thousand: It would take you just over 16 minutes Imagine counting to a million: It would take you 12 days!! Imagine counting to a billion: It would take you 32 years!!! (Yes, that is how big a billion is. Even a million is way too large for the human mind to fathom. A BILLION is fully Incomprehensible. Most humans downplay on just how large that number truly is.) Now lets take it one step beyond: Imagine counting to a trillion: It would take you 32,000 years!!!! (The people who first drew on cave-walls would be still counting today and not even reach it!! AKA: Beyond unfathomable)
