Archaeozoic Era (Creation Week to Catastrophe 1)

Calendar years - 2256 years long (Ediacaran not included)

Atomic years - (from Hadean on) - 3.9 billion years long (Ediacaran not included)
Note: The Ediacaran Period has been inserted above to conform to standard revised geology

At initial point of creation, light speed 6.25 x 10¹¹ times current speed. At the end of Creation Week, it was down to 340 million times its current speed.

Closes with Catastrophe One: Noah's Flood/ 'Snowball Earth'/ axis tilt of earth -- (Note: secular geology is currently revising the dates and classifications of this time to include the Ediacaran, so although it is after the Flood, it is included in this section)

At the close of this era, light speed now about 1.38 million times current speed.

Paleozoic Era (Cambrian to Permian)

Calendar years - 372 years long

Atomic Years - 479 million years long

Closes with Catastrophe Two: The Destruction of the Tower of Babel/ the Permian Extinction

At the close of this era, the speed of light was 1.2 million times its current speed.

Mesozoic Era (Triassic to Cretaceous)

Calendar Years - 159 years long

Atomic Years - 185.5 million years long

Closes with Catastrophe Three: Days of Peleg/ Continental Division/ Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction/ higher axis tilt

Light speed at the close of this era: about 1.13 million times its current speed

Cenozoic Era (Paleogene to Quaternary, to the end of the Ice Age)

Calendar years - about 678 years long

Atomic years - about 65.5 million years long

speed of light curve flat enough to show oscillation now
