it's easy enough to think, okay, ten marbles. you arrange them in two rows of five and it's there in your head, easy as pie. then, 100? ten times that, okay. get real rocks and count out ten groups of ten, got it. but when you try to imagine millions upon billions of say, people on earth, or stars in the universe, the process becomes absurd. how do you get your head around such large numbers? how do you really comprehend the meaning of million years? a zillion atoms? etc.
