Shelley lived approximately 10, 585 days, Lord Byron, 1,140 or 315,360 hours or 18, 921, 600 minutes. This last amount of time is less than Elon Musk's dollars. What other figures lie in the celestial cash register? You know the heavy set object, the numerical equivalent of one of those old black rotary phones that sat by your bed,  impassive Buddhas. If you're told to wait 6 months, it's 15, 552,000 seconds, a year 31,104,000 give or take. April, June, September, November all the rest have 31, except February which has 28 or 9. Greenwich Mean Time  is 6:49:29, Wednesday November 11. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the baseline time zone--set at 0 longitude-used as the starting point for measuring time all over the world.
