About Attoseconds
An attosecond (as) = 10⁻¹⁸ s - the timescale of electron dynamics in atoms. The Bohr-model orbital period in hydrogen is ~152 as. Electron tunnelling through atomic potential barriers takes a few hundred as. The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics (Agostini, Krausz, L'Huillier) honoured methods for generating sub-100 as pulses via high-harmonic generation in Ti:sapphire lasers. 1 as = 10⁻¹⁸ s = 1,000 zs.
About Millennia
A millennium (1 ka) = 1,000 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10¹⁰ s. Standard unit in archaeology and Quaternary geology: Neolithic transition ~10-12 ka BP; Last Glacial Maximum ~21 ka BP; Homo sapiens leaving Africa ~60-70 ka BP. Milankovitch cycles include the 41 ka obliquity and ~100 ka eccentricity cycle. EPICA Antarctic ice core spans ~800 ka. Precession completes ~26 ka. 1 ka = 1,000 yr.
