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 ...
The number 10,000 is used to express an even larger approximate number, as in Hebrew רבבה r e vâvâh, [36] rendered into Greek as μυριάδες, and to English myriad. [37] Similar usage is found in the East Asian 萬 or 万 (lit. 10,000; pinyin: wàn), and the South Asian lakh (lit. 100,000). [38]
The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10 11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is on the order of 10 100 years. [7] Therefore, the heat death of an expanding universe is lower-bounded to occur at least one googol years in the future. A googol is considerably smaller than a centillion. [8]
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 the cosmic microwave background rest frame. [2] Those amounts of time together span 60 decimal orders of magnitude.
