Two trillion seconds equals about 64,000 years.

Test: 2 × 10^12 seconds is about 64,000 years. Compute it by dividing 2 × 10^12 by the seconds in a year (about 31.536 to 31.557 million). - True: the result is within 5% of 64,000. - Mostly true: the result is within 10% of 64,000. - Mostly false: the result is within 25% of 64,000. - False: the result is more than 25% away from 64,000, for example off by an order of magnitude.

   “Common year: 365 × 86,400 = 31,536,000 seconds”

   “Astronomers use a simpler standard: 365.25 days of exactly 86,400 seconds, the average year of the old Julian calendar with a leap year every four years without exception.”

E1 and E4 give a Julian year of 31,557,600 seconds, and E3 gives a common year of 31,536,000 seconds. Dividing 2 × 10^12 seconds by these gives about 63,380 to 63,420 years. That is within 1% of 64,000, well inside the 5% margin for "true". E2 independently says a trillion seconds is about 32,000 years, which agrees with this result.
