The Cosmic Calendar

The cosmic calendar is a tool used to help us visualize how much has happened since the beginning of time. To understand the cosmic calendar, cram all of time since the big bang until current time and scale it down to single calendar year. Major astronomical events that occur are described by dates of a year as a scale of actual time. What I find most interesting along with what blew my mind is that all of history that has ever been written down occurs at the last thirteen seconds of the year! All of modern science and technology beginning around the era of the American Revolution happens within the last second of the year! Such a hard idea to fathom....
