Notes to answerer
Asker: тогда получается, что 80 циклов равно 160 годам?

Asker: галактический цикл -- это ж всегда миллионы, а то и миллиарды лет. как-то крайне маловероятно все ж, чтоб один цикл -- два года ((( блинский блин.

neutral  Kirill Semenov: Минутку, но это ничего не объясняет. Почему этот цикл 80 лет? И в оригинале сказано "примерно", то есть соответствие явно не точное. Это ничего не говорит.
20 hrs
  -> Кирилл, не 80 лет, а 80 циклов. four score = 4х20=80. А цикл - это, скорее всего, единица измерения времени такая.
