I was watching “the universe” last night and they were talking about the theory of the long slow end of the universe. Interesting stuff on “deep time” and cosmic decades.
Cosmic decades are kind of like the Richter scale with each cosmic decade being ten times the previous cosmic decades combined.

Saves space on paper that would be taken up by zeroes.
