How is this for a very small measurement of time?

About 4 years ago a new record for the shortest time measurement was set, how long it takes light to cross a hydrogen molecule.
To measure small differences in time, you need a really tiny clock, and researchers in Germany have discovered the smallest known clock: a single hydrogen molecule.
Using the travel of light across the length of that molecule, those scientists have measured the smallest interval of time ever: 247 zeptoseconds.
One zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second, by the way.
 

Wow, ya know that's really important and impressive.
_____________
I can't claim its more important than ya popping the Cap on a bottle of Brew, the cap falls into your cup o chili.
-----------
Really Dinner ruined, the lil woman won't let cha forget ruining dinner, & 20 -30 years later all you hear is Bottle caps popping.
-----------
But ya know after 20 - 30 years passing, that's not as important as a Hydrogen Molecules zip trip.
------------
But its OK, just how small ya gotta go to prove there's nothing left important to prove there.
-----------
Wait, zip trip a Quark, can you light beam measure it.
-----------
Wait I got another bowl of Chili. Not that's measuring something realistic. Dinners fixed. Timeline is changed. "twss"
------------
WOW SHE CAN CHANGE TIME ! "twit"

I love this!
 
No - The passage of time has nothing to do with anything. It just happens.
What is important is what happens during the time while the time has passed.

What happens when the light beam passes the object in mention. Does it change the object?
Does the object change the Lights wavelength / beam / fade shift ? Is there a paradox ? Think its B.S. ?

A good question.
I would love to know an answer.
According to Ask AI

Practical Uses of a Zeptosecond

The concept of a zeptosecond, which is one trillionth of a billionth of a second (or 10^(-21) seconds), may seem abstract and primarily theoretical at first glance.
However, recent advancements in measuring such incredibly short time intervals have significant implications for various fields, particularly in quantum physics and technology.

1. Quantum Computing

One of the most promising practical applications of zeptosecond measurements lies in the field of quantum computing.
Quantum computers operate on principles that involve quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in multiple states simultaneously.
Understanding and manipulating these states with high precision is crucial for developing efficient quantum algorithms.
The ability to measure events at the zeptosecond scale allows researchers to observe and control quantum phenomena that occur on extremely short timescales, potentially leading to breakthroughs in quantum information processing.

2. Superconductivity Research

Zeptosecond measurements can also enhance our understanding of superconductivity, a phenomenon where certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance at low temperatures.

The dynamics of electron interactions within superconductors happen on very short timescales.
By measuring these interactions with zeptosecond precision, scientists can gain insights into the mechanisms that lead to superconductivity, which could pave the way for new materials and technologies that utilize superconducting properties more effectively.
 
Superconductivity happens when things are very cold. A Cold Case !
Most likely no one can afford to pay for those temps to do anything useful.
Again more B.S.! Space is full of energy. Getting to absolutely no energy not going to happen.

Think of this way, trains traveling 2 - 3 thousands of MPH is a waste of $ - my time - yours.
I'm stating this at close to the speed of light, depending on the internet's connections, sure
More B.S.
The point is actually, travel is a waste of time, it passes, during that time travel nothing for you changes,
U wasted your time traveling.

Say you traveled across the USA in less than 2 hours and you get a Cell Call (at the speed of light to come back home soon)
So now you wait for the return 1 1/2 hours and return to your home area & after traffic 5 hours later. Would you say B.S.
Sure, time had a lot to do with your potential attitude, didn't it?

But did Time actually change anything that was happening during all your duress!

Maybe you understand time as a meaningless quotient. It means nothing.
Sure, the physical stuff does mean stuff, but ya can't change its happening of the past. Tell Lies?
Ya tell enough lies to change the recorded history, but you changed not the truth, just the written B.S of history.

Do you believe Custer was a nice person? How about Alexander the Great! Ahh no?

I don't know what you are talking about, but I get the impression that whatever it is seems to be pissing you off.
