Zeptoseconds: New world record in short time measurement

[Düber]

In the global race to measure ever shorter time spans, physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt have now taken the lead: together with colleagues at the accelerator facility DESY in Hamburg and the Fritz-Haber-Institute in Berlin, they have measured a process that lies within the realm of zeptoseconds for the first time: the propagation of light within a molecule. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second (10-21 seconds).

I take 4 zeptoseconds to nut when I am with @BloodrayneZA

I take 1 zeptosecond to lick @Papa Smurf's face

/oooo salty, needs some lemon slices and tequila to go with it.
