I'd estimated if I were to make a program to explore "evolution" (to a pixel - at a verrrrrrry basic level) - at 999 frames a second it would take 53+ days to "show" what 4.6 billion years is.
999 fps = 59,940 frames a minute
3,596,400 frames an hour
86,313,600 frames a day
4,574,620,800 frames in 53 days.

....
it's on the same level as trying to imagine the actual distances between the sun & planets.
If you use 53 days to represent the whole of geological history, then all of human history (approx. 2,000,000 yrs) would only be 33 minutes worth.

I find that pretty amazing.
