What are Femtosecond and Shake

A femtosecond is an incredibly short unit of time that is equal to one quadrillionth of a second. To put that in perspective, a femtosecond is to a second what a second is to about 31.7 million years. This minuscule fragment of time is used in scientific fields such as quantum mechanics and laser technology to measure extremely fast events.

A shake is an informal unit of time equal to 10 nanoseconds, or 10 billionths of a second. It was originally coined in nuclear physics to measure the time it takes for nuclear particles to undergo a specific process. The term 'shake' is derived from the phrase 'two shakes of a lamb's tail', which indicates a very quick moment.

History of Femtosecond and Shake

The concept of converting femtoseconds to shakes stemmed from the need to bridge quantum physics and nuclear science. Initially used in highly specific scientific contexts, this conversion has facilitated precise measurements in advanced research, where understanding minute intervals is crucial for progress.
