Hola, iam Eddie Foulk, I hope your day is as beautiful as your smile.
Geez, it felt like a long second! I swear, time just dragged on and on. But finally, exactly when I thought it would never end, it did. Phew!
How Long Is 1 Second Exactly? [Solved]
In other words, a second is the amount of time it takes for 9.2 billion vibrations of a cesium atom to pass. Put simply, it’s the blink of an eye!
Long Second: A long second is a unit of time equal to one thousandth of a minute, or 1/60th of a second.
Accuracy: A long second is used to measure time with greater accuracy than the standard second, which is only accurate to within 0.001 seconds.
Applications: Long seconds are used in scientific and engineering applications where precise timing measurements are required, such as in astronomy and navigation systems.
History: The concept of the long second was first proposed by French astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1795 as an alternative to the traditional 60-second minute system used by most clocks and watches at the time.
It felt like a long second, exactly! I mean, it seemed to drag on forever. But yeah, that’s exactly how long it was.
