How Long 'til Crunch Time?
There are 72 pixels/inch
and 12 inches/foot
and 5,280 feet/mile
so there are
4,461,920 pixels/mile
The universe is 40,000,000,000 light-years in diameter. With the speed of light being
186,000 miles/second
and a year being 60 second/minute * 60 minute/hour * 24 hour/day * 365 day/year
or
31,536,000 seconds
That makes a light-year
5,865,636,000,000 miles (5.8 trillion)
or
26,758,835,896,320,000,000 pixels (26 billion billion)
So a line spanning the width of the universe would be
1,070,353,435,852,800,000,000,000,000,000 pixels (1,070 billion billion billion)
With each pixel representing 20,000,000,000 years
or
630,720,000,000,000,000 seconds (630 million billion)
we will need
10100 / 630,720,000,000,000,000
or
15,854,895,991,882,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pixels
Which would make the line
14,812,766,942,958,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
or
14 million billion billion billion billion billion
times wider than the universe.
