OK. Let's say that all times are compressed by a factor of 13 billion. Let's just go right ahead and say that.
Now let's take the high point of Galileo and Kepler to be roughly 500 years ago.
500 years . . . which is 1.5778 x 1010 seconds . . . when compressed by a factor of 13 billion . . .
compresses to 1.214 seconds ago.
