How long do we spend blinking? And how many times do we blink a day?
According to technology research, blinks last on average about a tenth of a second which is 100 milliseconds and we blinks about 518,017,359 times in our entire life. We know that the average person blinks 15 to 20 times a minute.
“A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.”
When we look up at night, the universe seems pretty quiet. But that perspective is an illusion; in reality, there are millions of world-shattering events happening every instant across the cosmos. This short film explores just how much is going on every moment in our ridiculously enormous universe.
In the fraction of a second it takes to blink your eyes, thousands of stars will be born, hundreds will explode and die, millions of planets will form, and our universe will expand by half a million kilometers in diameter. And these numbers only account for the observable universe — not for what could be happening beyond, where some scientists believe there could be an infinite expanse of space.
THINK NEXT TIME YOU BLINK.
