#### Really large numbers

At some point numbers that can be formatted as a duration become too large to be practically represented in such a way. We will have a cutoff value (in days) where when the value exceeds that limit, we will revert to displaying the duration as a scientific representation of the value in the seconds unit.

I'm curious how you landed on scientific representation of seconds. If it's really large, does someone really want to figure out how long a value like 3.264E61 sec actually represents.

For very large numbers it seemed more intuitive than saying 3.264E61 days, 59 minutes, 59 sec, etc
Curious about the concern since I just recommended the same thing to @m-akinc for very large and very small numbers best-unit / human-readable units we don't have localized prefixes for.

I don't have a strong opinion here, but I'll leave it as is until I can be swayed in the other direction.
