    [2] [3] This was changed later in 1880, when Greenwich Mean Time was legally adopted throughout the island of Great Britain under the Statutes (Definition of Time) Act 1880 (43 & 44 Vict. c. 9). GMT was adopted on the Isle of Man on 30 March 1883, [ 4 ] Jersey in 1898, and Guernsey in 1913.

    These are only generalizations, however, as there is no consistent rule for using one over the other: in the UK, train timetables will typically use 24-hour time, [citation needed] but road signs indicating time restrictions (e.g. on bus lanes) typically use 12-hour time, e.g. "Monday–Friday 6.30–8.30pm".

    Therefore, a long scale n-illion equals 10 6n. [1] [2] In some languages, the long scale uses additional names for the intermediate multipliers, replacing the ending -ion with -iard; for example, the next multiplier after million is milliard (10 9); after a billion it is billiard (10 15). Hence, a long scale n-iard equals 10 6n+3.

    One disadvantage is that common angles like 30° and 60° are expressed by fractional values (33 + 1 ⁄ 3 and 66 + 23 respectively) so this "decimal" unit failed to displace the "sexagesimal" units equilateral-vertex – degree – minute – second invented by Babylonian astronomers.

  8. Jiffy (time) - Wikipedia

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

    In astrophysics and quantum physics a jiffy is, as defined by Edward R. Harrison, [ 13] the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which is approximately the size of a nucleon. One fermi is 10−15 m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10−24 s. It has also more informally been defined as "one light-foot", which is equal to approximately one ...

  9. List of UTC offsets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets

    This is a list of the UTC time offsets, showing the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from the westernmost (−12:00) to the easternmost (+14:00). It includes countries and regions that observe them during standard time or year-round. The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets ...
