Got a short span here

 

Any way you examine it, this is not a very long period of time.

Physicists do amazing things, by the way.


Trillionths of a second

"Physicists at the University of Konstanz generate one of the shortest signals ever produced by humans: Using paired laser pulses, they succeeded in compressing a series of electron pulses to a numerically analyzed duration of only 0.000000000000000005 seconds."

For comparison, in case you were wondering, the "blink of an eye" takes between 0.1 and 0.4 seconds.
