2 * 10²⁰ seconds

2 times ten to the twentieth seconds

It doesn’t sound so very long

Now does it?

But you know

Actually it is

One lifetime

Of our universe.

2 times ten to the twentieth seconds.

One universes estimated lifetime

It doesn’t seem so very long,

Does it?

2.5 times ten to the tenth seconds.

A mere blinding flash of light

In comparison

2.5 * 10¹⁰ seconds.

Our lifetime. A single shot across the stars

2.5 * 10¹⁰ seconds.

Life just doesn’t seem

Long enough.

For us , for me or for you,

Or for the universe

In which we live.
