    33 Ym – 3.5 billion light-years – maximum distance of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (light travel distance) 37.8 Ym – 4 billion light-years – length of the Huge-LQG 75 Ym – redshift 0.95 – 8 billion light-years – approximate distance to the supernova SN 2002dd in the Hubble Deep Field North (light travel distance)

  4. Thousandth of an inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch

    Equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈ θ aʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand" ( mille in Latin).

  5. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    Time of flight (ToF) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate).

  6. Standard wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_wire_gauge

    No. 7/0, the largest size, is 0.50 in. (500 thou or 12.7 mm) dia., No. 1 is 0.30 in. ( 300 thou ), and the smallest, No. 50, is 0.001 in. ( 1 thou or 25.4 µm ). The system as a whole approximates an exponential curve , plotting diameter against gauge-number (each size is a approximately a constant multiple of the previous size).

  7. Millimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimetre

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

  8. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    The speed at which energy or signals travel down a cable is actually the speed of the electromagnetic wave traveling along (guided by) the cable. I.e., a cable is a form of a waveguide. The propagation of the wave is affected by the interaction with the material(s) in and surrounding the cable, caused by the presence of electric charge carriers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-second

    The light-second is a unit of length useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics.It is defined as the distance that light travels in free space in one second, and is equal to exactly 299 792 458 m (approximately 983 571 055 ft or 186 282 miles).
