    The amount of time light takes to travel one Planck length. quectosecond: 10 −30 s: One nonillionth of a second. rontosecond: 10 −27 s: One octillionth of a second. yoctosecond: 10 −24 s: One septillionth of a second. jiffy (physics) 3 × 10 −24 s: The amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit. [12]

  4. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    The smallest meaningful increment of time is the Planck time―the time light takes to traverse the Planck distance, many decimal orders of magnitude smaller than a second. [ 1 ] The largest realized amount of time, based on known scientific data, is the age of the universe , about 13.8 billion years—the time since the Big Bang as measured in ...

    time "The second, symbol s, is the SI unit of time . It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, ∆ ν Cs , the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom , to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1 ."

    [4]: 2 For example, using metre per second is coherent in a system that uses metre for length and second for time, but kilometre per hour is not coherent. The principle of coherence was successfully used to define a number of units of measure based on the CGS, including the erg for energy , the dyne for force , the barye for pressure , the ...
