CALENDAR - since 1941

-   2443  -  CALENDAR -  since 1941.  A lot has happened in the last 78 years.  Here are a few notes from my diary.  It starts with the Universal calendar at just under 15 billion years since the birth of the Universe.
-

-
-
---------------------  2443  -  CALENDAR -  since 1941

-  This really is the big picture.  It starts with the beginning of time and ends with the end of the Universe.  The beginning is a Planck Second, 10^-43 seconds.
-
-  These numbers are so small and so large they can only be dealt with using exponents.
 So, 10^-43 seconds is the decimal followed by 42 zeros then the 1.
-
-  The big picture details the time from the creation of the Universe to the death of the Universe.  Because this time scale is so large, our existence here on Earth is a mere spec of time.  In order to resolve human events in these Universal events the time has been magnified 10,000,000,000 times.
-
-  This the last part of the universe history starting in 1941.  The history of the previous 15 billion years is available upon request.  It is eleven more pages.
