time to save the whales?

Very Interesting (if a little impractical at the moment).

I confess I did need to confirm that femtosecond is a valid unit of time. 1,000,000,000,000,000th of a second

well its significantly bigger than planks time
aprox 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Planck times =1 femtosecond
and as of 2006, the smallest unit of time that was directly measured was on the order of 1 attosecond or a thousandth of a femtosecond
yes im a science nerd

If you really were, then you wouldn't be using all those noughts

More 'power' to your typing finger

WHAT are they on?

Their typing hands?

I suppose the subject of "Just for the Trekkies" - should have made us steer away???

Another planet, clearly.

well ok plank time is aprox 10^-43 seconds
and conceivably the smallest possible time that's measurable
its worked out by how long it would take light to travel the plank length
and no im not going to start discussing quantum theory....

not unless you insist anyway

So his 'time' measurements must be inversly proportional to his 'distance' measurements, otherwise it makes a mockery of the phrase....


.... Thick as two short Planks.

Totally irrelevant to whatever it is you're talking about (because I don't know what that is and I'm not totally convinced you do either ):

when I was at school one of the teachers wrote a report for a girl in my year which read:
4"x2"x10"x2.

Think that summed her up nicely!
