The Scale of a Human Life in Hours

A year is 8,760 hours. A decade is 87,600 hours. By the time you're 30, you've lived through roughly 263,000 hours — enough time to watch every movie ever made several times over, or learn 10 new languages, or circumnavigate the globe hundreds of times.

Hours make the invisible visible. We rarely think about the raw number of hours we've been alive, but seeing a 6-digit number changes something. Each hour was a real slice of your life.
