Second (Sidereal)
A second (sidereal) is the time measurement based on Earth's rotation relative to distant stars, approximately 3 minutes shorter than the solar second, used in astronomy.
History/Origin
The sidereal second has origins in astronomical observations of Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects. It was established to provide a precise time standard for celestial measurements, differing from the solar second used in everyday timekeeping.
Current Use
The sidereal second is primarily used in astronomy and astrophysics for precise time measurements related to celestial events, star tracking, and satellite navigation systems.
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.
