About Microseconds
A microsecond (µs) = 10⁻⁶ s; light travels ~300 m. Professional DSLR shutters reach 125 µs (1/8,000 s); electronic flash freezes motion in 1-50 µs. Radar pulse repetition intervals: 100-2,000 µs (15-300 km range). Ultrasound echo round-trips from 1-15 cm tissue depth: 13-200 µs. Muscle twitch contraction starts within 1-5 µs of the action potential. 1 µs = 10⁻⁶ s.
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.
