Evolving since 1988 - for over 44,000 generations.

One of the most important experiments in evolution is going on right now in a laboratory in Michigan State University. A dozen flasks full of E. coli are sloshing around on a gently rocking table. The bacteria in those flasks has been evolving since 1988–for over 44,000 generations. And because they’ve been so carefully observed all that time, they’ve revealed some important lessons about how evolution works. [LINK]
3.5 billion years at 44,000 gens per 20 years = 7,700,000,000,000 generations + or - apocalyptic events. [Reddit]
