"What happens is a minute?"
This is one of the most vague questions one could ever encounter in his or her life, and it totally depends on the situation. One minute a flight delay might not make a drastic difference if you are on a 20 hour flight. Shrink that to an hour train-travel. Does it impact you? Hardly. Consider ten minutes ride. Does a minute make difference? A little. What about a five minutes ride on a Maglev train? That’s 6 miles a minute; So, absolutely.

Imagine what you could have done if you were given an extra minute on the last exam? A minute seems less? What about sixty seconds? Now, you must be thinking you can add another line or two, right?
As it seems, time is relative to us without respect to any other references. However, time is not relative in itself. It is concrete and well defined. Though you will be hurrying to add a line or two at the last moment of your exam, several significant things will happen around the world. Here are some of the significant things that happen in one minute:
- 116 people will get married, according to date from United Nations.

These figures might not be as exciting as you’d have expected. But do you really think you have wasted a whole 60 seconds of your life reading this? Nah! Not yet. Here’s what happens on the internet in a minute.
You see. The overwhelming situation in one minute.
