Key Terminology & Definitions
Second ($s$)
The base SI unit of time, defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium-133 frequency ($\Delta\nu_{Cs} = 9,192,631,770\text{ Hz}$).
Millisecond ($ms$)
One-thousandth of a second ($10^{-3}\text{ seconds}$), standard in computing performance benchmarks.
