Solving 40-disc Hanoi Tower stack puzzle! (34865 Years @ 1 Move/Second)

A computer generated animated film on solving 40-disc Hanoi Tower puzzle. Over a trillion moves to move the entire disc stack from left peg to right peg. At move rate of 1 disc per second, solving the puzzle takes over 12 million days (over 34865 years or almost 350 centuries). The clock at upper right corner telling the elapsed time (in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, centuries and 26000-year axial precessions) since the puzzle started at midnight of the first day of the first month of the first year. (Note: first 10 seconds of movie is frozen to allow you to make assessments on what is shown in the scene)

Rules of Hanoi Tower puzzle:

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle consisting of three rods and a number of discs of various diameters, which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle begins with the discs stacked on one rod in order of decreasing size, the smallest at the top, thus approximating a conical shape. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to the last rod, obeying the following rules:

--- Only one disc can be moved at a time.
--- Each move consists of taking the upper disc from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
--- No bigger disc can be placed on top of a smaller disc.

A Summary Of Clock Display:

Other than display of traditional hour-minute-second hands, dials are displayed clockwisely from top as follows: Earth's Axial Precession dial which takes 26,000 years to make a revolution, Day-Night dial which takes 24-hours to make a revolution, Moon-Phase dial which takes a month to make a revolution, 4-Season dial which takes a year to make a revolution, and Stages of Human Lifetime dial which takes a century to make a revolution.

Enjoy that video! :-)

A 100 disc hanoi tower would take 40 sextillion years
And a 1000 disc hanoi tower would take around years
If every googol years a second would pass, it would take a googol years to wait until the 1000 disc hanoi tower would be complete

I think the best part is the odometer maxing out in a few seconds. Also the minimum is 1.1 trillion moves.

Just pick up the whole stack, it's faster

Will the next time indicator be based on apsidal precession or the galactic year?
