What is "picoseconds"

Usage examples of "picoseconds".

In the final few picoseconds, the mass will be multiplied by a factor of about an octillion, and with a spin to bring the rotation parameter up to point ninety-nine, that will hold the static limit far enough above the event horizon to allow the finishing touches of hydrogen and antihydrogen infall.

The pressure of the blast crushed superheated plasma to the awesome density of degenerate matter, and held the pellet together for the few picoseconds needed to initiate the next stage of the reaction.

The resemblance was strengthened by the fact that most of the people here were wearing wired helmets, much like those worn by a combat crew in space, connecting their brains ever more closely to the optelectronic hardware that took its orders from them, saving picoseconds in whatever processing the giant computers were about.
