  5. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    The relative accuracy of such a time standard is currently on the order of 10 −15 [13] (corresponding to 1 second in approximately 30 million years). The smallest time step considered theoretically observable is called the Planck time, which is approximately 5.391×10 −44 seconds – many orders of magnitude below the resolution of current ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,000,000

    There are 454 grams in a pound. One million dollar bills would weigh 1 megagram (1,000 kg; 2,200 lb) or 1 tonne (just over 1 short ton). Time: A million seconds, 1 megasecond, is 11.57 days. In Indian English and Pakistani English, it is also expressed as 10 lakh. Lakh is derived from lakṣa for 100,000 in Sanskrit. One million black dots ...

  8. Detailed logarithmic timeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detailed_logarithmic_timeline

    Each row corresponds to a change in log (time before present) (that is, the logarithm of the time before the present) of about 0.1 (using base 10 logarithms). The dividing points are taken from the R′′20 Renard numbers. Thus each row represents about 21% of the time from its beginning until the present.

  9. Leap second - Wikipedia

    Screenshot of the UTC clock from time.gov during the leap second on 31 December 2016.. A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks) and imprecise observed solar time (), which varies due to irregularities and long-term ...
