Isn't it curious that a number that really is huge, if you think about it in terms that you can understand, like 38 Billion or 1000 million X 38, the latter sounds and looks much more alarming to me, does it to you? And then we are supposed to realize that 38 Billion is spitting in the ocean compared to 3.8 trillion? Shouldn't we write 1000 Billion X 3.8 to alert us common folk to the enormousness of the number?
Here is a You Tube presentation by an easy to understand professor that addresses this same question in a different way.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
