Pressed for Time?

-   2381  -  -   Pressed for Time?  Let’s say the Big Bang happened on January 1st and we compressed our history into that same year.  What would the age of the Universe look like compressed in this way.  Each month would be a little over 1 billion years.

---------------------------------  2381    -  Pressed for Time?
-
-  Let’s say the Big Bang happened on January 1st .
-
-  The Milky Way Galaxy would have formed in February.
-
-  Earth would not have formed until September 3rd.  The next three days would see sterilizing impacts and a period of bombardment from comets, asteroids, and mini-planets.   The Moon was formed.    Early life would have arrived on Earth on September 22nd.  Then, and,  for most of Earth’s history, life was only primitive cells and microscopic in size.
-
-  We do not get recognizable animals and reptiles until December 17th when the Cambrian explosion of diverse life occurred on Earth.  Plants and Fungi colonized land 1 week later.  Animals colonized land 2 weeks after that.  Almost the whole year is already gone. 
-
-  In late December many extinctions and catastrophic rebirths in evolution occurred until dinosaurs became dominant on December 26th.  They lived for 4 days and went extinct on December 30th.  65 million years on the Cosmic Calendar was only yesterday.
-
-  The entire recorded history of human civilization occurs in the last 30 seconds of that year.
-
-  If you look carefully at the last day, December 31st, it was not until 9:00 P.M. that day that the first hominoids appeared walking upright.  At 11.58 P.M., just 2 minutes before midnight homo-sapiens invented agriculture. 
-
-  11 seconds ago the Egyptians built the pyramids.  1 second ago Kepler and Galileo were convinced that the Earth orbited the Sun and that the Earth was NOT the center of the Universe.
-
-  My kids were born 50 milliseconds ago, and my entire lifetime is but a blink of an eye.
