About Gregorian Years
The Gregorian year = exactly 365.2425 days = 31,556,952 s (mean over the 400-year cycle with 97 leap years). The Julian calendar (45 BCE) used 365.25 days; Gregorian reform (1582) dropped 10 days and amended the centennial rule. Britain adopted it in 1752; Greece in 1923. Carbon-14 dates are reported in 'years BP' (before 1950 CE). 1 yr = 365.2425 d = 8,765.82 h = 31,556,952 s.
About Picoseconds
A picosecond (ps) = 10⁻¹² s; light travels 0.3 mm. Water molecules reorient via H-bond dynamics in ~1-3 ps, explaining microwave absorption. THz spectroscopy probes ps-scale dynamics in molecular systems. Sub-5 nm CMOS gate delays are a few ps; GaAs HEMTs reach ~0.1 ps. Muon mean lifetime = 2,197 ps. OTDR uses ps pulses for millimetre-resolution fibre-fault location. 1 ps = 10⁻¹² s.
