The history of mankind (Bernard Werber "Breath of the Gods"
If the entire history of mankind to take one week, the day will be equal to 660 million years.
Imagine that our story begins on Monday. At 0 o'clock there is a huge ball, Earth On Monday, Tuesday and the next morning, nothing happens. Only at noon on Wednesday did the first life forms appear - bacteria.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning - the bacteria are rapidly multiplying and slowly developing.
On Saturday afternoon, around 4 pm, the first dinosaurs appear, and five hours later they disappear. Smaller and weaker animals randomly spread around the Earth, are born and die. Only a few species remain, accidentally surviving after a succession of natural disasters.
On Saturday, three minutes to midnight, a man appears. A quarter of a second before midnight, cities appear. For the fortieth of a second before midnight, a man drops the first atomic bomb and takes off from Earth to set foot on the Moon for the first time.
It seems to us that our story lasts an incredibly long time. In fact, we, the “newest thinking animals,” appeared only for the fortieth of a second before the end of the week, during which our planet exists.
Save the "Earth", this is the only planet where there is chocolate.
