What are Shake and Day sidereal

A 'Shake' is a unit of time commonly used in nuclear physics, representing 10 nanoseconds. It is derived from the expression 'two shakes of a lamb's tail,' which signifies a very short period of time. In practical terms, a shake characterizes the time interval for nuclear processes and reactions to occur, offering a convenient measure for events that transpire rapidly at an atomic level.

A 'Day Sidereal' refers to the time Earth takes to rotate once on its axis relative to the stars, distinct from a solar day. Lasting approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds, the sidereal day is used by astronomers to keep track of the positions of celestial objects. Its precision is crucial for understanding the celestial mechanics and the apparent movement of stars due to Earth's rotation.

History of Shake and Day sidereal

The concept of converting shakes to day sidereal has its roots in the need for precise time measurements in both nuclear physics and astronomy. While shakes provide a time scale for observing nuclear reactions, day sidereal enables astronomers to track celestial movements accurately. The conversion between these two units allows for a deeper understanding of time as it relates to both atomic and astronomical phenomena.
