Putting time in perspective
https://waitbutwhy.com/2013/08/putti...rspective.html
(it's US focused but interesting) One comment that made me go: "what?" "...the ever foolish Stegosaurus lived 150 million years ago. Meanwhile the Tyrannosaurus Rex lived 67 million years ago. That means the T-Rex is closer in time to seeing a Justin Bieber concert than seeing a live Stegosaurus" I love seeing how people I know about lived at the same time - although I had the information I had never thought about it. Shakespeare and Galileo lived at the same time and Newton was born one year after Galileo's death.
