    Current estimated human population of Earth: 6.64 billion people

    Taking a rough guess that around 40% of the world's population is asleep or unconscious at any one moment, it follows that:

    • Since you started reading this post roughly 2527 human years have been consciously perceived on Earth (3.98 billion people perceiving 20 seconds of time each).

    Current estimated age of the Universe: 13.7 billion years

    • According to these calculations, for every 3.4 revolutions of the Earth around the Sun the ENTIRE age of the Universe is consciously lived out by the humans on its surface.
