Discover the lifespan of everything in existence — from the shortest events in the universe to the longest-living cosmic giants.
This video compares over 200 different lifespans, including particles, animals, plants, natural phenomena, man-made objects, planets, stars, galaxies, and even the universe itself.
We measure everything using a single metric: time, converting all lifespans into a comparable format ranging from milliseconds to millions, billions, and even 10¹⁰⁰ years.
The video is designed as a data comparison carousel, moving from the shortest-lasting events (like lightning, soap bubbles) to the longest (like continents, stars, red dwarfs, black holes, and the universe).
Disclaimer: All lifespan values are approximate scientific estimates based on current knowledge. Some long-term cosmic timescales are theoretical predictions and may vary as science advances.
