Shake
A shake is a unit of time equal to 1/60th of a second, used in measuring short durations.
History/Origin
The concept of the shake originated in nuclear physics and military contexts, particularly in the Manhattan Project, where it was used to denote the time it takes for light to travel 1 centimeter, approximately 3.33 nanoseconds. It was adopted as a convenient measure for very brief time intervals.
Current Use
Today, the shake is primarily used in nuclear physics and scientific research to describe extremely short time intervals, especially in nuclear reactions and particle physics. It is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts.
Year (Sidereal)
A sidereal year is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun relative to the fixed stars, approximately 365.25636 days.
History/Origin
The concept of the sidereal year has been used since ancient astronomy to measure Earth's orbital period relative to distant stars, predating the Gregorian calendar system.
Current Use
Sidereal years are used in astronomy to track Earth's position in its orbit relative to fixed stars, aiding in celestial coordinate calculations and star cataloging.
