    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    A unit of time is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), and by extension most of the Western world , is the second , defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.

  5. System of units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_units_of_measurement

    Gaussian units have only length, mass, and time as base quantities, with no separate electromagnetic dimension. Other quantities, such as power and speed, are derived from the base quantities: for example, speed is distance per unit time. Historically, a wide range of units was used for the same type of quantity.

    Step response of system for two different initial values V 0, one above the final value and one at zero. Long-time response is a constant, V ∞. Time axis in units of the time constant . Suppose the forcing function is chosen as a step input so: + = = (), with u(t) the unit step function.

    10 −14 qs: The length of one Planck time (t P = / ≈ 5.39 × 10 −44 s) [3] is the briefest physically meaningful span of time. It is the unit of time in the natural units system known as Planck units. 10 −30: quectosecond: qs Quectosecond, (quecto-+ second), is one nonillionth of a second 10 −27: rontosecond: rs

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    The commission proposed making the standard hour the base unit of metric time, but the proposal did not gain acceptance and was eventually abandoned. [11] When the modern SI system was defined at the 10th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1954, the ephemeris second (1/86400 of a mean solar day) was made one of the system's ...

    The following table lists the units of the Jeffersonian decimal system, and their relationship with one another. The values of these units are based on Jefferson's proposal of a foot that was equal in length to one-fifth of a second rod, one fourth of an inch shorter than the foot in use at the time, and approximately equal to 0.298461684 m.
