1 E-16 s

To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10⁻¹⁶ seconds and 10⁻¹⁵ seconds (100 attoseconds and 1 femtosecond) See also times of other orders of magnitude.

shorter times
about 100 as – record for shortest time interval measured as of February 2004 (BBC News)
about 200 as – half-life of beryllium-8 which is important for stellar nucleosynthesis
250 as – the shortest pulses of laser light yet created (2002)
320 as – estimated time it takes electrons to hop between atoms
