2.68 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. [2] 3.33564095 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one kilometre in a vacuum. 5.4 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum (or radio waves point-to-point in a near vacuum).
2.6 × 10 11 Qs (8.2 × 10 33 years): The smallest possible value for proton half-life consistent with experiment [19] 10 23 Qs ( 3.2 × 10 45 years ): The largest possible value for the proton half-life , assuming that the Big Bang was inflationary and that the same process that made baryons predominate over antibaryons in the early Universe ...

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.

Radar timing is usually expressed in microseconds. To relate radar timing to distances traveled by radar energy, the speed is used to calculate it. With speed of radar waves at approximately the speed of light in vacuum or 299,792,458 metres per second (300 m/μs; 984 ft/μs) and nautical mile at 1,852 metres (6,076 ft), the delay per nautical ...
Systems that attempt to increment this value by one more second to 2 31 seconds after epoch (03:14:08) will suffer integer overflow, inadvertently flipping the sign bit to indicate a negative number. This changes the integer value to −(2 31 ), or 2 31 seconds before epoch rather than after , which systems will interpret as 20:45:52 on Friday ...
