history

Prepare to have your mind blown. To put our everyday human lives in perspective, the blog Wait But Why put together several timelines growing in scale with each successive period, from the last 24 hours to the big bang. The result shows just how small the average human lifespan, and even the entire history of humanity itself, appears in comparison to the enormity of the age of the universe as we know it.

Confused? Failed History? It's okay, we have LOLs for that!
