  2. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    5.4 × 10 83 Qs (1.7 × 10 106 years): The approximate lifespan of a supermassive black hole with a mass of 20 trillion solar masses [21] 10 10 10 76.66 {\displaystyle 10^{10^{10^{76.66}}}} Qs: The scale of an estimated Poincaré recurrence time for the quantum state of a hypothetical box containing an isolated black hole of stellar mass [ 22 ...

  3. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    Earth-based: the day is based on the time it takes for the Earth to rotate on its own axis, as observed on a sundial [citation needed]. Units originally derived from this base include the week (seven days), and the fortnight (14 days). Subdivisions of the day include the hour (1/24 of a day), which is further subdivided into minutes and seconds ...

  4. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    1 microsecond – protein folding takes place on the order of microseconds (thus this is the speed of carbon-based life). 1.8 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2011 Japanese earthquake. [1] 2 microseconds – the lifetime of a muonium particle.

  5. Graphical timeline of the Big Bang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_timeline_of_the...

    This timeline of the Big Bang shows a sequence of events as currently theorized. It is a logarithmic scale that shows 10 ⋅ log 10 {\displaystyle 10\cdot \log _{10}} second instead of second . For example, one microsecond is 10 ⋅ log 10 ⁡ 0.000001 = 10 ⋅ ( − 6 ) = − 60 {\displaystyle 10\cdot \log _{10}0.000001=10\cdot (-6)=-60} .

  6. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    One kè was usually defined as 1 ⁄ 100 of a day until 1628, though there were short periods before then where days had 96, 108 or 120 kè. [7] A kè is about 14.4 minutes, or 14 minutes 24 seconds. In the 19th century, Joseph Charles François de Rey-Pailhade endorsed Lagrange’s proposal of using centijours, but abbreviated cé , and ...

  7. Time standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_standard

    A time standard is a specification for measuring time: either the rate at which time passes or points in time or both. In modern times, several time specifications have been officially recognized as standards, where formerly they were matters of custom and practice.

  8. Bit time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_time

    The bit time for a 10 Mbit/s NIC is 100 nanoseconds. That is, a 10 Mbit/s NIC can eject 1 bit every 0.1 microsecond (100 nanoseconds = 0.1 microseconds). Bit time is distinctively different from slot time , which is the time taken for a pulse to travel through the longest permitted length of network medium.

  9. TU (time unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TU_(Time_Unit)

    In some data communication standards, a time unit (TU) is equal to 1024 microseconds. [1] This unit of time was originally introduced in IEEE 802.11-1999 standard [2] and continues to be used in newer issues of the IEEE 802.11 standard. [1] In the 802.11 standards, periods of time are generally described as integral numbers of time units.
