(the second is the ‘base unit’ of ‘time’ in the ‘international system of units’ (‘SI’))

.

(it is ‘qualitatively defined’ as the second (as in ‘2nd’) division of the ‘hour’ by ’60’)

.

(the ‘first division’ by ’60’ being the ‘minute’)

?πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜•πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ?

(only ‘time will tell’)

.

(‘seconds’ may be measured using clocks that can be either…)

[‘mechanical’ / ‘electrical’ / ‘atomic’]

.

(‘SI prefixes’ are combined with the word second to denote ‘sub-divisions’ of the base unit ‘second‘…)

.

the ‘millisecond’

(‘1 thousandth’ of a ‘second’)

(1/1000)

(*4 DIGITS*)

(*3 ZEROS*)

(assuming you too are in the ‘numerical dimension’ of ‘base-10’)

(i’ve spent most of my life there before jumping ship to ‘base-12’ sometime in ‘2009’) (?)

(“duodecimalism”)

(track down a ‘remote african tribe’ that has already been born with the ‘technically analogous advantage’ of our present ‘opposable thumbs’)

(and then have their revenge on the unbelievably cruel ‘belgians’ in the ‘congo’ from ‘1908’ to ‘1960’)

(and the misdeeds of ‘evil king leopold II’)

(cutting off the hands of the ‘enslaved natives’ by cutting of their ‘appendages’)

.

*the ‘micro-second’* 
(one millionth of a ‘second’)

.

*the ‘nano-second’*
(one billionth of a second)

.

(though ‘SI prefixes’ may also be used to form multiples of the ‘second’ such as kilo-second (‘1 thousand seconds’), such units are rarely used in practice)

(the more common larger ‘non-SI’ units of time are not formed by powers of 10)

.

(instead, the ‘second’ is multiplied by ’60’ to form a ‘minute’…)

(…which is multiplied by ’60’ to form an ‘hour’…)

(…which is multiplied by ’24’ to form a ‘day’)

.

(the ‘second’ is also the ‘base unit’ of ‘time’ in other systems of measurement: the centimetre–gram–second, metre–kilogram–second, metre–tonne–second, and foot–pound–second systems of units)

(‘commence ‘infinite subdivision’ procedure)
(to get as close to ‘capturing the moment’ as possible)
(as a ‘moment’ is generally understood as an ‘infinitely small time unit’)

(keep dividing by 1/2)

(will always get smaller)

(will never ‘hit 0’)

(β€œmillisecond” = 1/1000 of a second)
