What year do you *think* was 1 trillion seconds ago?

Answer 1

Why "think" when you can compute? There are 60x60x24x365 seconds in an ordinary year, a little more in a leap year. So the answer is a little less than
1,000,000,000,000/(365*24*60*60)=31,709.8
years ago, say 31706 years, or 29700 BC.

Answer 2

If we use the true definition of a year as the actual time that it takes the earth to orbit the sun, 365.242199 days, and thus do not have to account for leap years, then we have:

1 x 10^12 seconds / (365.242199 days/year x 86400 seconds/day) = 31688.7646218 years ago. Using the Christian calendar, A.D. 2006 - 31688.7646218 = 29682.7646218 year + 1 year (there was no year 0) = 29683.7646218 years B.C. = 29683 years 279 days ago.

Subtracting the days, from current time of 23:43 CDT, yields Dec 12, 29684 B.C.

Answer 3

Well, one billion seconds ago was sometime in the 1950's. So, 1 trillion seconds was probably sometime around 950AD.

Answer 4

0803 am September 19, 29703 BC. Fred Flintstone is late for work again according to Mr Slate.

Answer 5

somewhere around 29700 BC? About 10,000 years into the Upper Paleolithic era.

Answer 6

Damn phone calulator... I can only type in 10,000,000 before it cuts me off... so I am going to guess 31,706 years, or in terms of time... 29700 B.C. ;)

Answer 7

before creation began

it would be almost 32,000 years

Answer 8

29,703 B.C. according to my calculations.

Answer 9

3,000....i don't know. i thought that a billion was 30 years...

Answer 10

I have no idea.
