Setting the lifetime of a universe to Tuniv = 1,
The Big Bang to the Heat Death when all
Stars cool and die,
The galaxies begin to form at Tuniv = 0.01;
The stars commence to form at Tuniv = 0.05;
The Solar System coalesces at Tuniv = 0.1;
Microbial life emerges at Tuniv = 0.12; and
Our sun swells into a red giant to swallow the Earth at Tuniv = 0.2.
The time now is Tuniv = 0.1375.
So what are you waiting for?
