  2. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    is the time between two events as measured in the moving reference frame in which they occur at the same place (e.g. two ticks on a moving clock); it is called the proper time between the two events; t is the time between these same two events, but as measured in the stationary reference frame;

  3. Free recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recall

    Studies have also been done to address the best method for recalling lists of unrelated words. In contrast to free recall, another type of study is known as the serial recall paradigm, where participants are asked to recall the presented items in their correct order rather than the order that comes to mind at the time of testing, randomly.

  4. Chronon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronon

    For example, ordered pairs of events (A, B) and (B, C) could each be separated by slightly more than 1 Planck time: this would produce a measurement limit of 1 Planck time between A and B or B and C, but a limit of 3 Planck times between A and C. [citation needed] The chronon is a quantization of the evolution in a system along its world line.

  5. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    where Δt is the time interval between two co-local events (i.e. happening at the same place) for an observer in some inertial frame (e.g. ticks on their clock), known as the proper time, Δt′ is the time interval between those same events, as measured by another observer, inertially moving with velocity v with respect to the former observer ...

  6. Experimental testing of time dilation - Wikipedia

    By measuring their kinetic energy, mean muon velocities between 0.995 c and 0.9954 c were determined. Another measurement was taken in Cambridge, Massachusetts at sea-level. The time the muons need from 1917m to 0m should be about 6.4 μs. Assuming a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs, only 27 muons would reach this location if there were no time dilation.

  7. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A straight line connecting these two events is always the time axis of a possible observer for whom they happen at the same place. Two events which can be connected just with the speed of light are called lightlike. In principle a further dimension of space can be added to the Minkowski diagram leading to a three-dimensional representation.

  8. Time-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-to-digital_converter

    In most situations, the user does not want to just capture an arbitrary time that an event occurs, but wants to measure a time interval, the time between a start event and a stop event. That can be done by measuring an arbitrary time of both the start and stop events and subtracting. The measurement can be off by two counts.

  9. Chronology of the universe - Wikipedia

    Many such theories have proposed but none been successful producing quantitative agreement with the results of modern astrophysical observations. Nevertheless, the time between 10 −43 and 10 −36 seconds has been called the grand unification epoch. [22] [23] Before the GUT epoch, the temperature of the universe exceeded 10 15 GeV.
