About Milliseconds

A millisecond (ms) = 10⁻³ s. Human visual reaction time 150-300 ms; auditory reaction 140-160 ms. Echo delays below ~30 ms cause Haas reinforcement; 100-500 ms are perceived as distinct echoes. One cinema frame at 24 fps = 41.7 ms; 60 fps gaming requires 16.7 ms/frame. Millisecond pulsars rotate in 1.4-30 ms. MIDI keyboard on-latency 1-3 ms. 1 ms = 10⁻³ s.

About Hours

An hour (h) = exactly 3,600 s. The 24-hour day traces to ancient Egypt (10 daylight hours + 2 twilight + 12 night star-rise periods). Time zones are integer or half-hour UTC offsets (exceptions: India +5:30, Nepal +5:45). The kilowatt-hour = 3,600,000 J; Tc-99m half-life = 6.0067 h. Drug dosing and pharmacokinetics are expressed in hours. 1 h = 3,600 s = 60 min = 1/24 day.
