Zettasecond

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006733

A unit of time equal to 10^21 seconds, formed with the SI prefix zetta, which is about 31.7 trillion years. That is more than two thousand times the age of the universe, so the unit suits only far-future timescales such as the lifetimes of the longest-lived red dwarf stars, not the geological past.
