4. Light year is a measure of distance.

But the rest: :thumbsup:

[sweetheart]

6. at the speed of light

is not a light year a measure of time?

:-)

Is there time in a black hole?

[Richardo]

8. It's the distance light travels in a year, so the time part is: one year

The distance part is: 186,000 mi/sec * 60 sec * 60 min * 24 hours * 365 days = 5.6 trillion miles.

5. I am not sure what all of them mean.

I am looking for large scale fo time. :shrug: :hi:
But it is a good list. Thank you.

7. hmmm

exa - 10**18
peta - 10**15
tera - 10**12
giga - 10**9
mega - 10**6

And exasecond is a long time.

An exayear is a long time.

A cycle of creation is a more literary long time.

it is a good question, and i'm challenged to how
i represent long long time periods, as if we take the
scenario out of the sol-system, "year" has no meaning.

9. I read in a book that I no longer have

and it gave a list of time that gave names for vast amounts of time. Beyond measures I could barely wrap my mind around and I want to give it another try.

I have tried key word searches but am only finding alot of pages on "standard" time.

But I will look thees words up and go from there. Thanks.:hi:

12. How about "Epoch"

That sounds like an arbitrary and nebulous unit of measurement of time. Could be almost any length so desired.





Just like being in the 700 Club, or so I'm told.:woohoo:

10. What about two hairs past a freckle?

11. attosecond

13. Ok maybe I should rephrase the question.

What are the top 10 largest measures of time?

[sweetheart]

14. Ok

An eon
A gazillion years
A cycle of creation
A day of brahma
A googleplex of seconds
A Yuga
A googleplex of yugas
A googleplex of days of brahma

The tibetans use this term.

If you can imagine a storehouse of grain, a family barn if you will
about 20x20 times the length of a human foot, and twice as tall as
a human, FILLED with barley seeds. Then for each seed, imagine a
similar storehouse of barley seeds. And for each seed in every one of
those barely storhouses, a million times, the person (like GWB) who
is in crushing hell, crushed to smithereens between two large rocks.
The pain and screaming are awesome, and then a wind revives him.

For 1 million storehouses of storehouses of barley will bush and his
criminals suffer for their crimes. (The tibetan's have a real drama
for suffering over time in hells... :-) )
