100 | you spending 1 second |

102 | a 30 s comment in a 30 person class |
103 | |
104 | |
105 | a 30 person 1hr class | a person work week |
106 | awakeness in a month |
107 | a person work year |
108 | |
109 | a life | 10k person work weeks |
1010 | 1M people watching a 1hr program |
1011 | a city work day |
1012 | 1k lives |
1013 | a US people day |
1014 | |
1015 | 1M lives (a mega life) | a World people day |
1016 | |
1017 | |
1018 | 1G lives (a giga life) |
1019 | |
1020 | ~total Homo Sapien seconds |
1021 | 1T lives (a tera life) |
world people seconds per day - |
0.5 × 1015 (±5%?) half a mega life |
human life expectancy - |
two gigaseconds (Gs) (2 × 109s, [...do error bars...]) |
Life expectancy
~70 yrs ~= 2 × 109 s.
(50,80) yrs ~= (1.6,2.5) × 109 s
A class
30 people for 1 hour = 1 × 105 people-seconds.
Creating a person
0-4mo: 1.1 × 107 s x [1, 2]
4-9mo: 1.3 × 107 s x [1, 2]
0-2yrs: 6,3 × 107 s x [1, 2]
2-5yrs: 9.5 × 107 s x [1, 2]
5-20yrs: 4.7 × 108 s x [1, 2]
So just 20yrs ~= 109. Eh.
Would be more interesting to do with `productive time',
ie sans sleep/eat/maintenance.
7 hour day
7 x 60 x 60 ~= 2.5 × 104 s
people seconds / day
5.7 × 109 x 8.6 × 104 = 4.9 × 1014
Say 0.5 × 1015 people-seconds/day (±<5%?).
