About Gigayears
A gigayear (1 Ga) = 10⁹ yr ≈ 3.156 × 10¹⁶ s - the timescale of stellar evolution and cosmology. Universe age: 13.787 ± 0.020 Ga (Planck CMB). Sun: 4.603 Ga old; red giant in ~5 Ga. A 0.1 M☉ red dwarf lives ~10,000 Ga. Uranium-238 half-life = 4.468 Ga (used in radiometric dating). Proton decay (GUT prediction): ~10³⁴ yr = ~10²⁵ Ga. 1 Ga = 10⁹ yr.
About Weeks
A week (wk) = exactly 7 days = 604,800 s. The 7-day week derives from Babylonian astronomy assigning one of the seven classical celestial bodies to each day - preserved in English (Sun-day, Mon-day, Satur-day) and Romance language day names. It spread globally via Jewish, Christian, and Islamic calendars. ISO 8601 numbers weeks 1-52(53) with Monday as day 1. 365-day years contain 52 weeks + 1 day. 1 wk = 7 d = 604,800 s.
