What are Year and Shake

A year is a time unit used to measure the duration of events or the intervals between them. Traditionally, it is based on the Earth's orbital period around the Sun, taking approximately 365.25 days to complete one cycle. This measurement is fundamental to calendars and the reckoning of time in various cultures and scientific contexts.

A shake is a unit of time often used in nuclear physics, corresponding to 10 nanoseconds. It originates from the Manhattan Project during World War II. The term 'shake' is derived from the expression 'two shakes of a lamb's tail,' indicating a brief moment. It is specifically useful in nuclear chain reactions, where reaction times are measured in shakes.
