  2. Picosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picosecond

    A picosecond (abbreviated as ps) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −12 or 11 000 000 000 000 (one trillionth) of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 31,688.76 years.

    100 d (1 hd) 100 days, roughly equivalent to 1/4 of a year (91.25 days). In Chinese tradition "bǎi rì" is the hundredth day after one's birth, also called Baby's 100 Days Celebration. semester: 18 weeks: A division of the academic year.

  5. Femtosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtosecond

    A femtosecond is equal to 1000 attoseconds, or 1/1000 picosecond. Because the next higher SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10 −14 and 10 −13 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of femtoseconds. Typical time steps for molecular dynamics simulations are on the order of 1 fs. [4]

  6. Nanosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosecond

    A nanosecond (ns) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a second, that is, ⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 ⁠ of a second, or 10 −9 seconds. The term combines the SI prefix nano-indicating a 1 billionth submultiple of an SI unit (e.g. nanogram, nanometre, etc.) and second, the primary unit of time in the SI.

  7. Jiffy (time) - Wikipedia

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

    The earliest technical usage for jiffy was defined by Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946). He proposed in 1926 a unit of time called the "jiffy" which was equal to the time it takes light to travel one centimeter in vacuum (approximately 33.3564 picoseconds). [5]

    24 hours (1 day & night: kalpa + pralaya) of Brahma = 8.64 billion solar years; 30 days (1 month) of Brahma = 259.2 billion solar years; 12 months (1 year) of Brahma = 3.1104 trillion solar years; 50 years (parardha) of Brahma = 155.52 trillion solar years; 100 years (lifespan: 2 parardhas) of Brahma = 311.04 trillion solar years

  9. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.
