About these units
Millisecond (ms)
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second (10⁻³ s) and is widely used in computing, acoustics, engineering, human physiology, and real-time data processing. Human reaction times fall roughly between 100–300 milliseconds, making the ms an intuitive unit for expressing biological responsiveness. Musicians and audio engineers rely on milliseconds to define echo delays, reverb times, and audio compression parameters. In computing and network communications, milliseconds determine response latency, server performance, and frame times in video rendering. Systems such as financial trading, multiplayer gaming, and robotics depend heavily on millisecond-scale precision. The millisecond bridges human perceptual limits and the faster, computation-driven processes that shape modern technology.
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.
