The American astronomer Carl sagan first suggested a “comic calendar” as a way of helping people understand the history of the universe. He put everything into the scale of a calendar year:
The Galaxies are formed over nine months and the earth appears in September. All human history is crowded into the last five minutes of the last day of the year. Recent time has to be devided into seconds and fraction of seconds. So everything that happened over the last 475 years takes place in less than the last second of the last minute of the year.
