herb, or is it Herb, why are the first two numbers rounded, and the latter two exact? Is Google going broke and no longer able to support the manpower to count grains of sands resorting to guessing? I wonder if they considered all the sand at the bottom of the oceans. And what about sand mixed in with dirt--multi-racial sand (bet you didn't see that coming)? One more thing: Herb, meet Dank. <not implying anything, and only penned for added humor>

how many seconds has the earth existed 435,355,989,674,234,985,345,394,783,892,394,837,983,847,293,957
IIRC, the Earth is about 5 Billion years old. That works out to 157.788x10 15 seconds. Or: 157,788,000,000,000,000 seconds. The quoted number is off by more than a few orders of magnitude. I noticed because it was far too close to the "number of possible Bitcoin addresses" number. Edit: initially calculated for 5 trillion years ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Okay, now this is too weird. I was ready to call it a night, but headed over to YouTube to watch a couple quick videos, and look what Google suggested to me for my viewing pleasure: 158,962,555,217,826,360,000 - Numberphile. Sometimes, I feel like I'm being followed. With that, night, all. Hope I don't dream about bears...again. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
