The saying is very true. Indeed, human life is very short compared to the scale of the universe. The clock’s 10,000 years of operation is just a small beat compared to geological time or the lifespan of the Sun. Human life is just like the blink of an eye for a person who lives to be 100 years old. This makes us ponder the small position of humans in this entire vast universe. However, in their short time, people can still create miracles and leave a deep impression. It is important to know how to appreciate and enjoy every precious moment of life with time calculator.

Depending on which point in Star Trek you’re referring to, for the most part the shows are about 400 years into our future.

And yet the 10,000 years the clock's run time is not even a single tick in comparison to geological time or the lifespan of the sun.
Human life spans are so short in comparison to the wider universe it is hard for the human mind to grasp. We are not even a blink in the eye of a person who lives to 100.
