    World debt is measured in quadrillions of dollars. Just how big is a quadrillion?

    An easy way to think of it is in time...

    60 seconds = 1 minute,

    3600 seconds = 1 hour,

    1 million seconds = 12 days,

    1 billion seconds = 32 years,

    1 trillion seconds = 32 thousand years, and

    1 quadrillion seconds = 32 million years!
