| MadSci Network: Other |
According to a recent New York Times Magazine, the millenium is the largest fixed unit of time in general use. Words like eon, era and age might describe longer periods, but do not indicate any specific number of years. So ten thousand years would have to be called simply that, or perhaps you could call it ten millenia or a hundred centuries. Joe Simpson
