In this post I was going to post some thing resent about Einstein, buuut because he is alertly dead I’ll just have to post some thing resent related to Einstein. In this case some thing made possible by his threes in physics.

The worlds fastest stop watch. It works by flinging 2 special particles together. Then mishearing the specific light palsies it emits. But I think the article I got my information from explains it beater.

“ ‘Atomic nuclei in particle colliders like the LHC (Large Hadrian collider) at CERN or at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) can create light pulses which are still a million times shorter than that’, says Dr Andreas Ipp, of the Institute for Theoretical Physics at TU Vienna. The proposed stop clock would be able to measure time in ‘yoctoseconds’, one septillionth of a second or 10^-24 seconds. To put this in perspective, yoctoseconds are the next meaningful order of magnitude up from the time required for light to travel one Planck length, the briefest physical span of time: 10^-44 seconds. So the new stop clock would be very quick indeed.”

For those of you how didn’t understand it is pity much a supercollider that can measure almost the shortest possible span of physical time. Pretty cool right? How about having that time the runners for the Olympic Games.
