Attosecond
An attosecond is a unit of time equal to 10^-18 seconds, used to measure extremely short durations, particularly in atomic and subatomic processes.
History/Origin
The attosecond was introduced in the early 21st century as scientists developed ultrafast laser techniques to observe electron dynamics, marking a significant advancement in time measurement at atomic scales.
Current Use
Attoseconds are primarily used in physics and chemistry to study ultrafast phenomena such as electron movements, chemical reactions, and quantum dynamics, often through attosecond laser pulses and spectroscopy.
Planck Time
Planck time is the theoretical minimum meaningful unit of time, approximately 5.39 × 10^-44 seconds, representing the time it takes for light to travel one Planck length in a vacuum.
History/Origin
Introduced by physicist Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, it arises from fundamental constants and marks the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, requiring a quantum theory of gravity.
Current Use
Primarily used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe phenomena at the Planck scale, and as a fundamental unit in models of quantum gravity; it is not used in everyday measurements.
