I'm pretty sure that's a junk account... Especially seeing how the representative's name isn't "Darrel".

And here I would think expensive cameras would make them look less real!

Big numbers are funny in that they don't necessarily look big.

The universe is about 13.8 billion years old (13.8 * 109 years). A year is about 365.25 days, each of which is 86400 seconds (24*60*60), so a year is 3.15576 * 107 seconds. Multiply the two together and you get (13.8 * 3.15) * (107 * 109) or about 43.47 * 1016 = 4.347 * 1017.

1021 seconds is more than 1000 times the age of the universe. The exponent does a lot.

On the first take, apparently.
