Related the distances measured in year light, at intergalactic dimesions, year-light become a too litle measurement unit. For example the visible universe ray is 15 000 000 000 light-year (a too unhandy number). If it used as example the petametre (Pm) or exametre (Em) It plied with digits much more just subunitary . If we using zettametre or yottametre (Zm, Ym) then the year light is a very little unit.
For example in a astronomic year is 365 days 5h 48min 46s. Results that a year=31 556 926 seconds.
At light speed in vacuum of (299.7924562±0.0000011)e+03 m/s accepting 299 792.458 km/s results a un year light = 9 460 528 412 464.108 km what means 9.46 Pm or 0.009 Em or 0.000 009 Zm or ... 0.000 000 009 Ym !! It can see what little is 1 year light besides 1 Ym !!! Then at distance of order of millions of year light can using zettametre and yottametre.
