A paper published on December 30th 2020 in the IOPScience Publishing website announces that the universe is 13.77 billion years old. We can therefore pinpoint the time of the Big Bang to be exactly 13.77 billion years before midnight Wednesday the 30th of December 2020. The following counters show the elapsed time since the Big Bang in units with a wide range of magnitudes. The bars are clock-style cyclic measurements of each time unit.

This table shows roughly how long it takes for successive power-of-10 digits to rollover
as the counter increments. For example, the million digit changes about
every 11 and a half days. The billion digit changes about every 31 and a half years.
