The Life Project: British cohort study turns 70

The total running time of the entire documentary is 769 minutes.

There are 29.453.760 minutes in 56 years. There were 14 people, for a total of 412.352.640 minutes of lifetime.

That a speed up factor of 536.219. It seems like any biological system sped up 500k times it's normal rate is going to give a sense of mortality.

Thanks for your very sensible explanation - I'm going to have to borrow for next time a non-techie friend of mine says something about a film that covers a person's life (so I get an expected eye roll or worse).

Reminds me of a guy who shot 1 second every day for a year to make a video. He ended up on Ted's main stage and ended up making an app.
