Scientists have measured the shortest interval of time ever recorded, clocking how long it takes a particle of light to cross a single molecule of hydrogen.
The findings are the culmination of global efforts to measure shorter and shorter time spans in physics, and they offer scientists a way to precisely measure atomic changes through what’s known as the photoelectric effect. When the photon hit the hydrogen molecule, it ejected one electron first and then the second quickly after, akin to skipping a pebble across the surface of water, they said. The effect created waves in what’s known as an “interference pattern” that allowed the scientists to accurately measure the electrons as they were escaping.
Joe Biden's attention span?
Was is shorter than the 60MinutesInterview?😂
While the longest interval of time is 2020
It’s how long my boyfriend last
Soon they will receive awards for who can see the farthest in my thoughts and proclaim to be an automatic power monger fiend of my every move.. But won't do anything like tell a reason why the foresight is broken when I still don't do what they saw...
That record won't last long.
Heck, we all knew already. It's the interval between a light changing green in Manhattan and the guy behind you honking.
'divide that in half'

Congrats Scientists
Already figured that out before they legalized weed in Oregon. YEARS ago.

Was it the amount of time it took for Donald Trump to contradict himself?
I loved the word jiffy. Now I’ll have to say “I’ll be there in a Zepto”. Hey that’s not too bad.
What is this unit called and exactly what benefit will it serve to be able to measure it? How much was spent measuring it and will being able to measure it make a profit or is it just done for ego sake?
it can go shorter....
Scientists really more is very much better intelligent knowledge.
Zeptoseconds, as in 'That movie was so bad, that's 583 million trillion zeptoseconds I'll never get back.'
Is it a vaccine? No? GTFO
A lot of you seem to be looking at your phone at the light.
Until the next shortest time gets measured
They measured the amount of time it takes for the president to say that he will not do a bad thing before he does it. It's called a Trump.
Wait a minute......
trump's attention span
And the benefit of this is?
In my city the shortest amount of time ever recorded was between when the traffic light turns green and the guy behind me leans on his horn.
An mmmbop
The difference between politics and electronics is the shortest amount of time. I'm guessing.
'extremely shortest'?
Very well written, explaining some complicated stuff quite simply. A+
The time when Trump pretends to be civilized? 🤷🏼♂️
To the electron it was like rush hour in LA
Otherwise called the 60MinutesInterview on CBS
Is it the time between presidential temper tantrums?
Is it the exact opposite of 2020?
Was it the White House's collective COVID efforts?
the time between when the light turns green and the car behind you honks?
Ugh feels like a trillion zeptoseconds
To the people replying to this story with political comments: Please. For the love of whichever god you choose, humanity, whatever. Just. Freaking. Stop.
Measuring provides first steps to controlling and opens new doors for usefulness. No power is of value, if it cannot be controlled. Consider the splitting the atom. Nuclear fusion uncontrolled is an explosion, controlled, power plants. Automobiles need an accelerator and brakes.
In a strange twist, the interval is equal to the time between lies uttered by realDonaldTrump.
It's the measure of time between Trump doing something completely screwed up and him refusing to take any responsibility
the time it takes for Big Tech to censor something they don't like
Human existence on Earth.
Was it shorter than the time it took NBC to decide not to run the Hunter Biden LaptopFromHell ?
Time is a flat circle
the time it takes to change the channel when Trump is speaking,....
