Is that correct? It's not adding 68 years, it's adding like 4 billion years.

My rule of thumb/ back of envelope is: $2^{32}=4294967296$. Then we divide by 2 to get $\pm 2147483648$. There are $31557600$ minutes in a year. The quotient $2147483648/31557600$ is around 68.
Edit: I may be mixing minutes with seconds.

Yes, but 2^64 is 2^32 * 2^32, not 2^32 + 2^32.

 

[WWGD]

Yes, but 2^64 is 2^32 * 2^32, not 2^32 + 2^32.

Yes, you're right; I read it and didn't double check. I think it is Edit:$18446744073709551616$. But I don't have a Real calculator with me and it's hard to go back-forth in an Android.

Yeah, approximating 68 as 2^6, it should be roughly 2^38 years.

And men?

Spoiler

In the Hitchhikers Guide, the Earth turns out to be a gigantic supercomputer that has been tasked with determining the ultimate question. The answer having been previously determined to be "42".

The construction of Earth was undertaken by Slartibartfast who was commissioned by hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings whose extrusions into our world are seen as mice.
