Time in Nature

How long does it take for:

Forest to burn down
For that forest to regrow back
For a lake to shape from an ocean
For the atmosphere to become habitable
For a planet to grow out of star dust
For a star to explode

Human Time

1 Earth spin around the sun - a year
Divide by 12 - a month
1 Earth spin around itself - a day
Divide by 24 - a hour
Divide by 60 - a minute
Divide by 60 - a second

Time perceptions

Humans see the world with 60 frames per second
Flies see it with 250 frames per second
That's why flies perceive the world much slower than humans
A human gives birth in 9 months
A fly can lay up to 75-100 eggs in one batch

Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.

About 100 million new red blood cells are being formed in our body every minute!

In nano scale the eternal lies
In macro scale the infinite drives
