Shake
A shake is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of a second, used in measuring short durations.
History/Origin
The concept of the shake originated in nuclear physics and military contexts, particularly in the Manhattan Project, where it was used to denote the time it takes for light to travel 1 centimeter, approximately 3.33 nanoseconds. It was adopted as a convenient measure for very brief time intervals.
Current Use
Today, the shake is primarily used in nuclear physics and scientific research to describe extremely short time intervals, especially in nuclear reactions and particle physics. It is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts.
Planck Time
Planck time is the theoretical minimum meaningful unit of time, approximately 5.39 × 10^-44 seconds, representing the time it takes for light to travel one Planck length in a vacuum.
History/Origin
Introduced by physicist Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, it arises from fundamental constants and marks the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, requiring a quantum theory of gravity.
Current Use
Primarily used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe phenomena at the Planck scale, and as a fundamental unit in models of quantum gravity; it is not used in everyday measurements.
