About these units
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.
Attosecond (as)
An attosecond is 10⁻¹⁸ seconds, one quintillionth of a second. This unfathomably short interval is the domain of electron motion, where electrons shift orbitals, respond to electromagnetic stimuli, and perform quantum tunneling. Attosecond pulses—among the shortest ever created—enable direct observation of electron dynamics inside atoms. These technologies contribute to attosecond physics, a rapidly growing discipline that reveals quantum processes hidden from human intuition. At this scale, classical concepts of motion and time begin to lose meaning; quantum uncertainty and wavefunctions dominate. The attosecond is therefore not just a measurement but a gateway to the most fundamental processes in nature.
