If anyone else is confused, a microcentury is apparently around 52.6 minutes long.

Microcentury sounds like somebody didn't reduce their fractions. I propose centiyear.

Those are not the same; one is a bit less than an hour, another is 3 and a half days.

A microcentury is 100 nanoyears if you prefer that.

It's one ten-thousandth of a year but there's not a prefix for that.
