Conversion Formula
ys = cent × 3.155695200e+33
About Centuries
A century = exactly 100 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10⁹ s. Standard unit of historical periodisation (the 20th century, the 18th-century Enlightenment). IPCC projects warming and sea-level rise on century timescales. Precession of the equinoxes advances ~1.39°/century, so zodiac constellations no longer match their named seasons. Ice-core and radiocarbon records are commonly displayed at century resolution. 1 century = 100 yr.
About Yoctoseconds
A yoctosecond (ys) = 10⁻²⁴ s - the smallest named SI prefix time unit. Light travels ~0.3 fm in 1 ys, about one-tenth the proton charge radius. Strong-force quark binding operates on ~1 ys timescales; W and Z boson lifetimes are ~260-290 ys. Lead-lead collisions at the LHC produce quark-gluon plasma that thermalises within a few ys. These timescales are inferred from decay widths via ΔE × Δt ≥ ℏ. 1 ys = 10⁻²⁴ s.
