  "definition": "A unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one quadrillion (10^15) seconds. This immense duration is equivalent to approximately 31.7 million years, making it suitable for measuring geological or astronomical timescales rather than typical industrial processes. The prefix 'peta' is applied to base units to denote a factor of one thousand trillion, and the petasecond follows this convention for the base unit of time, the second.",
