At the time of writing this I am 37 years, 28 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes and 18 seconds old. I have traveled around 34,845,000,000 kilometers around the Sun. I have traveled 257,425,000,000 kilometers through the Milky Way. The next time my watch tells me I haven’t taken enough steps, I plan to give it these numbers. Although the truth is that I have not had to take any steps to travel through them, since the credit belongs to the Earth, I have just let myself go. Whatever the case, it’s always good to know. If you also want to know these figures and many curious facts more for your own date of birth, keep an eye on online calculator created by web developer nemo7299. Very easy to use. With this calculator, called Cosmic Odometer, its creator seeks to make us a little more aware of our location in the Universe and everything we have moved through it since the day we were born. To use it, you just have to enter your date and time of birth and the latitude where you are. With that you have enough to read many curious facts. Distances traveled. To begin with, we can see the distance that the Earth has traveled rotating on itself, orbiting around the Sun or accompanying the Sun through the Milky Way. We can also see what has been moved the Milky Way itself through the Universe. You can even see the combined distance of all those movements. Since the day we were born, we have been fellow travelers of the Earth. Therefore, if we calculate the kilometers that the Earth has traveled around the Sun, we will also know how many kilometers we have traveled with it. Age by planets. You can also find out what your age is at different planets of the Solar System. For example, on Mercury I am a centenarian of 153.81 years old, on Mars little more than a teenager who has not yet turned 20 and on Venus I am already close to earning retirement, at 60.29 years old. On the other hand, in Neptune I am a baby of just over 2 months. Logically, if I could travel there I would be the same and I would look the same. However, a year on those planets does not last the same as it does here on Earth. A little physiology. The website also tells us how many times our heart has beaten or we have breathed since we were born. It even calculates how many cells have been renewed in our body in that period of time. Important distances. By viewing this website we can know how far we are from natural or artificial objects as important as probes. Solar Parker, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2the telescope James Webb or Haley’s Comet. If the aliens are looking for us. Another curious fact is that we can calculate how far away an alien would have to be to see our birth if they pointed a telescope at Earth. can be compared. You can also compare your details with a friend’s by entering their date of birth. This way, you will know how far the Sun traveled between your births or how many kilometers you have traveled together since you both existed, for example. It occurs to me that important dates that are not necessarily birthdays could be introduced. For example, the current date and the date you met your partner. What would it be like to tell him that since you met you have traveled a combined 31,679,105 km across the universe together? If it doesn’t look pretty, that’s not it. Your feet are younger than your head. According to the general relativity theory According to Einstein, time moves more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. That is, the closer you are to the massive object that creates that gravitational attraction, the slower time will pass. Our feet are closer to the earth’s surface than our head. Therefore, it can be said that our feet are younger. Time passes more slowly for them. In my case, for example, my feet are 216 nanoseconds younger. A lot more. All this is just a small sample of the many data that can be checked in this calculator. Logically, some are estimates, since more data would be needed to have a more accurate calculation. In any case, with such large distances, these estimates already go pretty well. It’s perfect to hang out and have a laugh.
