The universe has been around for about 13 billion years. Now that is a number so large it’s sometimes hard for people to fully comprehend the vastness at which those years spread, so let’s use a quick analogy to bring things into focus. If you were paid $1 per second, you would make about $3,600/ hour. Now I’m sure we could all agree that would be one great paying job, far beyond what most people make today. At that pay rate it would take you about 11 and a half days to save a million dollars, but, Would take you a staggering 31.7 years to get to a billion , now multiply that by 13 and replace seconds with years and that’s the age of our universe. The reason I wanted to bring that to your attention is because all of us today spent more than 99.99% of all that time not alive, all the way up until the moment where you woke up for the first time before ever going to sleep. People think a lot of the after life but never stop to question the before, where we have spent billions of years. Now I can’t speak for anyone but myself but I do not necessarily remember all those billions of years as being in any particular way bad or frightening, so I’m not inclined to believe that whatever comes next should be any different.
