light-years

light-years
   "So protracted have the discussions been that their progress should almost be measured not in years but in light-years" (Guardian). Though the intention here was obviously facetious, it is as well to remember that light-years are a measure of distance, not time. In temporal terms, one earth year and one light-year are the same.
