However, if you were to run the aforementioned script every second (without so much as a tea break), it would still take some 285 million years before that point was reached. (Quite a while to forgo a cuppa...)

2 ^ 53 / (365242199 * days)
--> 285.427017085496

Is that 285 million years, or 285 years?

I would have thought the calculation for years would go something like:

2 ^ 53 div (365.242199 * days)
--> 285427017
