Scientists measure the shortest amount of time ever: A zeptosecond – BGR

• Scientists successfully measured an event using zeptoseconds, which is an incredibly brief fraction of a second.
• The time it took for a photo to pass through a hydrogen molecule was measured at 247 zeptoseconds, which is the smallest measurement ever achieved.
• In the future, more and more accurate measurements of time on this small scale could help us unlock nature’s secrets.

It probably took you a couple of seconds to read this sentence. Seconds are very short, and they come in handy for measuring…
