About these units

Century (century)

A century equals 100 years and is a major unit of historical, demographic, and civilizational analysis. Historians frequently divide narratives into centuries to highlight long-term transformations—technological revolutions, empire rises and falls, or artistic movements. Sociologists study century-scale changes in population, urbanization, and cultural evolution. Although human lifespans rarely exceed one century, this unit is large enough to encompass sweeping societal changes, making it ideal for macrohistorical studies.

Picosecond (ps)

A picosecond equals 10⁻¹² seconds. At this timescale, even light travels only about 0.3 millimeters, making picoseconds vital in advanced optics, ultrafast laser systems, and femtochemistry. Picosecond lasers enable precision cutting in medical devices, microfabrication, and semiconductor processing. They also allow scientists to study vibrational modes of molecules and rapid electron transitions in materials. In telecommunications, picosecond precision is necessary for characterizing optical fiber dispersion, jitter, and photonic switching. At such rapid intervals, the boundaries of classical physics begin to blur, leading toward quantum mechanical interpretations of time and energy.
