About these units
Fortnight (fortnight)
A fortnight is 14 days, a unit deeply rooted in English tradition. Its name derives from "fourteen nights," reflecting a time when day-to-day life was measured in nights rather than hours or minutes. Fortnights appear in literature, wage schedules, agricultural cycles, and even modern payroll systems in some countries. Though not part of the SI system, the fortnight persists because it occupies a natural middle ground: longer than a week, shorter than a month, yet easily divisible and memorable.
Shake (shake)
A shake is a playful but scientifically important unit equal to 10 nanoseconds. It originated in the Manhattan Project, where physicists needed a convenient term for very short intervals in nuclear chain reactions. A nuclear fission event occurs on the order of a few shakes, making the unit ideal for modeling neutron capture, reaction propagation, and weapon physics. Today, the shake appears in nuclear engineering literature, plasma physics, and astrophysics—any field involving extremely rapid events. Despite its whimsical name, the shake represents a meaningful scientific compromise: short enough for nuclear events, yet still relatable and easy to calculate.
