You Are Here in Time

A live, scrolling portrait of the present moment. Everything happening in the world and in your body — right now, since you opened this page — computed in real time from a single clock: the cosmos you ride, the biology keeping you alive, what all of humanity is doing, the cost to the planet, the shape of a single life, and the hope of renewal.

You opened this page a few seconds ago.

Let's see what happened since then.

Cosmic

You think you're sitting still.

Since you got here, Earth has already carried you

0

km around the Sun.

But the Sun isn't still either. It dragged you another

0

km across the Milky Way.

And the galaxy itself is moving. Another

0

km through the universe.

Right now, even sitting still, you're traveling at

~600 km per second.

You've never been still. Not for a single second.

The light reaching your eyes right now left the Sun 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago. You're always seeing the past.

Biological

All that universe out there. And another one inside you.

Your heart has beaten

0

times since you arrived on this page.

You've taken

0

breaths, without even thinking about it.

Your heart pumped

0

liters of blood.

While you were reading this, your body created

0

new red blood cells and renewed

0

cells. You're already not quite who you were when you opened this page.

Oh, and you blinked

0

times. (Feel free to check)

Civilization

Now forget about yourself for a moment. Look at what all of humanity did in these few seconds.

Born

people.

Died

people.

We are now

and counting.

  • Google searches
  • Songs played on Spotify
  • WhatsApp messages
  • Videos watched
  • Photos taken
  • Emails sent

And something that didn't exist a few years ago: people sent

messages to artificial intelligences. Per second. (This one's an estimate.)

Elon Musk

And while you read all of this, the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, got, on average,

richer.

More than most people will ever see in a lifetime.

Planetary

But all that spinning has a price. And it's running too.

Since you arrived, humanity has released

tons of CO₂ into the air.

Cut down

trees.

That's the equivalent of

soccer fields of forest that no longer exist.

Dumped

kg of plastic into the ocean. And melted

tons of ice from the polar caps.

And somewhere, roughly every 20 minutes, an entire species disappears forever. It may have happened while you were here.

Mortal

Stop for a second. Breathe.

A human life lasts, on average, about

0

weeks.

Around the world, life expectancy is about 73 years.

Stays in your browser only. Nothing is stored.

Each square is one week of an entire life. They all fit right here.

This isn't meant to scare you. It's to remember that the time you're spending here, right now, counts too.

Renewal

You've seen what we take. Now see what we give.

While you were here,

0

babies were born. Each one held for the very first time by someone who already loves them.

And

0

people gave their blood to save a stranger they will never meet. No reward. Just because.

Remember the smoke and the fallen trees? The same species installed

0

watts of clean solar power in that time. The sun, captured on purpose.

Remember your own body, quietly renewing itself while you read? The whole world does the same.

Somewhere right now, the sun is rising. A day is beginning. A flower is blooming.

You spent

0

here.

In that time, the stars moved. Millions were born. Strangers saved strangers. The world turned, and began again.

And at this exact moment, you are here.

Alive. Part of all of it.

That alone is extraordinary.
