What I always think about is what if the person who did that calculation was off by just one zero. If it was 561 zeroes instead of just 560, for example. After the 10^560 years have passed, we are only 1/10th of the way there. I'm curious what the margin of error is on something like this, as even seemingly small adjustments to that number can have a profound impact on the actual amount of time.
