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.

Second (Sidereal) (s (sidereal))

A sidereal second is 1/60 of a sidereal minute, equal to about 0.99727 solar seconds. While the difference seems small, it accumulates noticeably over long observing sessions. Sidereal seconds ensure that telescope mounts and tracking systems remain synchronized with the rotation of the celestial sphere. The distinction between solar and sidereal seconds underscores the complexity of Earth's rotational dynamics—reminding us that even "one second" depends on which cosmic frame of reference we choose.
