Is That A Big Number?

If Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004 (53 y) was a standard unit ...

Time since first domestication of dogs (27,000 y)...more would be 500 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since first domestication of cattle (10,500 y)...more would be 200 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since first domestication of cats (10,500 y)...more would be 200 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the start of the Bronze Age (5,300 y)...more would be 100 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of Julius Caesar (2,120 y)...more would be 40 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of Cleopatra (2,090 y)...more would be 40 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of Darwin (215 y)...more would be 4 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of Dickens (212 y)...more would be 4 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of Ada Lovelace (209 y)...more would be 4 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since the birth of chemist Rosalind Franklin (104 y)...more would be 2 x Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since first Boeing 747 entering service (54 y)...more would be about as big as Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Time since first email sent (53 y)...more would be about as big as Time since the launch of Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004

Yes, there's now a book based on these numbers. Oxford University Press: July 2018.
