We hear our politicians bandy about the number one-trillion dollars like it is no big deal. Well, here is something that puts one-trillion dollars in a more understandable format.
| 1,000,000,000,000 | |
| 60 | Seconds / Minute |
| 16,666,666,667 | Minutes |
| 60 | Minutes in a Hour |
| 277,777,778 | Hours |
| 24 | Hours in a Day |
| 11,574,074 | Days |
| 365.25 | Days in a Year |
| 31,688 | Years in a Trillion Seconds |
To put that in a little more perspective, 31,688 years ago Neanderthals walked on the earth!
