I had a discussion about chunks of time recently. My young friend was wondering which other word would replace period in a story.
We talked about age, era, epoch, eon, millennia and an eternity and didn't really come to any conclusion as to which is bigger than which.
I thought about the year in which Project SWORD begins in TV21 with The Earth Will Die - 3031 - and tried to guess which term best describes how far away that year is from now? An age? An eon? A millennium?

I have avoided googling all these words and wondered if readers had any gut feelings as to how these fit together without googling them either!
