What are Century and Shake

A century is a period of 100 years. The term is derived from the Latin word 'centuria' and is commonly used as a significant time marker in historical and social contexts. It is often used to denote a specific hundred-year period within a particular millennium, enabling historians and scholars to categorize events and developments over extended periods.

A shake is an informal unit of time equal to 10 nanoseconds, or 10^-8 seconds. It originates from nuclear physics and the term itself is a playful allusion to the brief moment it takes for particles to 'shake' off energy. In practice, it is used to measure the duration of nuclear reactions and chain events, which occur on extremely short timescales.
