It's All Relative.

Time here on Earth, solely relates to the fact that it takes our planet 24 hours to rotate once on it's axis. A child, has travelled 584 million miles or, once around the Sun, by the time he reaches his first birthday.

Moving at an average velocity of 514,500 miles per hour, it takes the Sun (dragging the Solar System along with it) about 230 million years, to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way... our Galaxy.

The Solar System, (the Sun, the Earth and the seven major planets) is 4,500 million years old... give or take a few hundred million years.

However, The Universe is 13.82 billion years old... and so far as we know, infinite?

So from The Universe's point of view, as far as our 'three score and ten' years are concerned... Jimi Hendrix was correct.

"The story of life is quicker than the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye".
