Or they may suggest the remarkable brevity of our lives in the cosmic scale of time. If the estimated age of the cosmos were shorted to seventy-two years, a human life would take about ten seconds.
But look at time the other way. Each day is a minor eternity of over 86,000 seconds. During each second, the number of distinct molecular functions going on with the human body is comparable to the number of seconds in the estimated age of the cosmos. A few seconds are long enough for a revolutionary idea, a startling communication, a baby's conception, a wounding insult, a sudden death. Depending on how we think of them, our lives can be infinitely long or infinitely short.或者这些图片也表明与宇宙相比，我们的生命是多么短暂。如果宇宙的寿命被缩短到72年，相应的，人的生命只有大约10秒钟。
但是从另一个方面审视时间，每天都是86000秒中一个微小的永恒。每一秒钟内，人体内消失的分子结构的数量都可以与宇宙的年龄相提并论。几秒钟时间足够产生一个革命性的理论，一个令人惊讶的沟通，一个婴儿的孕育，一个令人伤心的冒犯，一个生命的突然逝去。 这取决于我们如何看待这些事儿，我们的生命可以无限长，也可能无限短。
