Both timelines start together. Length measures elapsed time, not a physical distance.
A little perspective
Blink of an eye lasts about 1.5 times as long as 100 milliseconds.

100 milliseconds
Time conversions use a Julian year of exactly 365.25 days.
Blink of an eye
A chosen 150 ms interval, not a universal blink duration.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked time is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Measurement details
Why these numbers?
The visual compares time with time. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Time ↔ Time
- Relative size
- Blink of an eye is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.5. Blink of an eye's selected measurement is approximately 50% greater than 100 milliseconds's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Blink of an eye is labelled reference interval; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
