klt: realistic recreation - units of time lyrics
[chorus. all units]
units of time, you’re learning in this rhyme
we will tell you our names and our length that’s right
yes, units of time, you’re learning in this rhyme
there are 66 of us, you’re knowledge will burst to the sky
[verse 1: clock]
before we get to the main song we must defi+i+ine
what i+is a unit of ti+i+ime?
a unit of time is a time interval at any length
used for measurement of duration
this is something we will say
[planck time]
i am a planck time as you can see
but i have a little morе complex info to me
becausе we must know what the plank length is
as you do know, it’s 100 quintillionth of the length of a proton
as i’ve shown
and we need to know what the speed of light is
it is 670 million miles per hour, i tell you this
and to know my length we must calculate
how long it takes light to travel
one plank length, that’s my length
[quectosecond]
i am a quectosecond, unbelievably short
i be, when light crosses a proton that takes 1 trillion of me
now i know this part will be a lot shorter than the others
but if i kept it long, this would mostly be filler
[rontosecond]
i am a rontosecond, and i finally have a fact
300 of me are the mean lifetime of 2 bosons, i just told you that
i am 1 octillionth of a second
that’s past 100 octillion times in the song, that’s a matter of fact
[yoctosecond]
i am a yoctosecond, as you can see
the mean lifetime of a higgs boson takes 156 of me
i am 1 septillionth of 1 second
now let’s move on to the next unit of time, i reckon
[jiffy (physics)]
i am a jiffy, used officially, in physics as you can plainly see
i am the amount of time light takes to travel 1 fermi
about the size of a nucleoid in a vacuum, you can see
[zeptosecond]
i am a zeptosecond as i appear
i am 1 s+xtillionth of a second that fact, i hold here
1.3 of me was the smallest experimentally controlled time delay in a photon field, as you can plainly see
[attosecond]
i am an attosecond, as you can plainly tell
43 of me form the shortest x+ray laser pulse
i am a quintillionth of 1 second that’s a fact i claim
and i have a symbol ‘as’ to my name
[atomic time]
i am atomic time, as i do thrive
atomic theory of hydrogen is where i am derived
i am very obscure in case you couldn’t have guessed
’cause you don’t know who i am but you are still blessed
[femtosecond]
i am a femtosecond as you can plainly see
‘fs’ is my symbol, i am a quadrillionth of a second with glee
290 of me is a lifetime of a tauon, a very complex elementary particle
let’s move on
[svedberg]
i am a svedberg, in case you didn’t know
i am 100 of the previous length of time second a femto
i am used to distinguish ribosomes
yes the cell organel
i hope you enjoy my zone
[picosecond]
i am a picosecond, abbreviated as ‘ps’
i am a trillionth of a second, yeah i am the best
1 of me is equal to the half life of a bottom quark
hopefully my part encourages you to buy this song on a dvd port
[nanosecond]
i am a nanosecond, this is true
12 of me are the mean lifetime of a charged k meson, i teach you
i am a billionth of a second, this is a fact
i am glad i could discuss to you about that
[shake]
i am a shake, yeah shake those maracas
i am 10 nanoseconds, i tell yeah
my name came from the idiom ‘two shakes of a lamb’s tail’
i hope you enjoy this lesson, on my part i’ll prevail
[microsecond]
i am a microsecond, yeah that’s true
my symbol is a micro symbol, you knew
i am the length of a high speed commercial strobe light flash
now let’s move on to the next unit of time cuz i’m not the last
[millisecond]
i’m a millisecond, you may have heard of me
i am a thousandths of a second, obviously
a honey bee’s wings flap takes 5 of me
and a flash camera takes 1 of me to illuminate the room, you can see
[centisecond]
i am a centisecond, a fact i show
i am a hundredth of a second, didn’t you know?
1 in 2/3 of me are used for a frame in 60 fps
yeah those games
[jiffy (electronics)]
i am a jiffy, and not the one you talked to though
i am used in electronics not physics, you know
i am the period of an alternating current power cycle
yeah that’s true, i hope you enjoy this in full
[decisecond]
i am a decisecond, you would think
1 to 4 of me are contained in 1 eye blink
10 of me fit into 1 second, speaking of that
[second]
i am a second, in case you haven’t guessed
when it comes to symbols, mine is ‘s’
i will now show you the length of a second
..
the silence was a second, i reckon
[decasecond]
i am a decasecond, i’m 10 seconds you probably guessed
i am used for counting down, i attest
6 of me are used to make the next unit of time, we’ll discuss
it’s called a minute, it is so fun
[minute]
i am a minute, 60 seconds are within me
also 6 decaseconds, obviously
i’m the time standard of utc
there were leap seconds occasionally
the last leap second was in december 2016
but the next one will occur in june of 2026, you see
and occasionally there’s a negative leap second
but this hasn’t happened in 40 years, i hope you reckon
[milliday]
i am milliday, i tell you this
i am 1.44 minutes, or 86.4 seconds, confirmed
this is a fact and one you have learned
[hectosecond]
i am a hectosecond, as you can plainly see
there are 100 seconds contained in me
i am also 1 minute and 2/3
my part is done, i do assure
[moment]
90 seconds in total, i’m an official moment
used by astronomers to compute astronomical movements
i was used before the introduction of the mechanical clock
and the base 60 system, i hope you enjoyed my part
[centiday]
i am a centiday, i’m 14.4 minutes or 864 seconds
my time is not infinite
i was proposed by lagrange in the 19th century
named the centijour from the french ‘hundred’ and ‘day’ words with glee
[kilosecond]
i am a kilosecond, i am the rec confinement time for anti+hydrogen and electrically neutral state, isn’t that fine?
62 of me is 1 day on ur+n+s, 58 is one on neptune
i hope you’re getting all this
[hour]
i am an hour, abbreviated ‘hr’
i am 3,600 seconds, 60 minutes, isn’t that bizarre?
i am also 1/24 of the day
and this is so great
[deciday]
i’m a deciday or 2.4 hours
1/10 of a day is me, i have that power
i’m called a ‘gēng’ in chinese timekeeping
now it is time to finish this part as i sing
[day]
i am a day, as you can, now you guessed
the longest unit using countdowns, as i attest
i am 24 hours long, this is a fact, or 86,400 seconds
i bet you didn’t know that
[week]
i am a week, i have 7 days, or 168 hours, in my face
or 10,080 minutes, this fact i report
or 600 thousand 4,800 seconds i hope you’re not bored
[decaday]
i’m a decaday, not a week, my days count 10
so 240 hours, that’s something again
most calendars that use me, are no longer used
so that’s a fact that makes me feel blue
[megasecond]
i’m a megasecond, i am 1 million seconds, 11.6 days is around the time that i reckon
if you watched every episode of the simpsons without sleep
it would take a megasecond, as you can see
[fortnight]
i’m a fortnight but i am not the game
i am a unit of time equal to 2 weeks, it’s not lame
i come from the old english term ‘fourteen nights’
maybe if you use me one day, you’ll finally feel right
[lunar month]
i’m a lunar month, i am 27 days, 4 hours and 48 minutes, this is a fact i say
i am also 29 days and 12 hours long you know
i’m the length it takes for the moon to cycle through its phases, here we go
[month]
i am a month, there are 12 of me in the calendar year
i range from 28 to 31 days, i do appear
in leap years i range from 29 to 31, because february gets an extra day
isn’t that so fun?
[quarantine]
h+llo there, i am quarantine
you’ve probably heard my name previously
i’m 40 days, and i’m made to prevent the spread of infectious disease
yeah that’s what i said
[hectoday]
i am a hectoday, i’m 100 days
or a quarter of a year, that’s something i say
i originate from chinese celebration
i hope you enjoy my part, and your nation
[semester]
if it’s a school year, you’ll be in a semester
it’s a division of the academic year, i assure
i’m 18 weeks, as you can plainly see
and i mean 6 months literally
[lunar year]
i’m a lunar year based on the lunar calendar
i’m made up of lunar months this fact does reassure
you may be confused about my passion
but don’t forget there’s other kinds of years in action
[year]
i am exactly a year, i am 12 months
i’m 365 or 366 days, how fun?
because if i’m 366, it is a leap year, when february gets an extra day, as it appears
a year is the time it takes for earth to revolve around the sun
but there will be more later information
just remember that i will see you soon
because i pass every 365 or 66 days it’s true
[common year]
i’m a common year, did you know that is a fact?
i’m exactly 365 days, how about that?
i am also 52 weeks and 1 day
i’m hoping you could enjoy my part in this play
[tropical year]
i’m a tropical year, i am all around
i am 365 days, but there’s more to this calculation
i’m 5 hours, 48 minutes you’ll find in this nation
and also 45.216 seconds
[gregorian year]
i am a gregorian year, you see?
i have some rules attached to me
for example every year divisible by 4 is a leap year
except for years divisible by 100, it appears
except intern 4 years also divisible by 400
like 2,000 being a leap year, but not 1,800
i hope you enjoyed my part in this song
i hope you could sing along, even though it was long
[sidereal year]
i’m a sidereal year, i am the time it takes for orbit around the sun in relation to other stars, how great?
i am 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, 9.7635456 seconds
[leap year]
i am a leap year, i’m 366 days
when february gets a special 29th day
i am only used every 4 years
i am glad i had a part that could appear
[olympiad]
i’m an olympiad, this is a fact
i am 4 years, i tell you that
i’m a quadrennium as you know
i am used in (?) leap years, that fact i show
[l+strum]
i am a l+strum, i am equal to 5 years
in early roman times i was using interval it appears
if you don’t know me, you are not to blame
there are 6,000 wikipedia bytes to my name
[decade, (kltrr)]
klt is this old, i’m a decade
i am equal to 10 years or 3650 days
most people in the klt community aren’t older than me (this is a joke)
i was first used in 1475, you can see
[indiction]
i’m an indiction, used in the roman empire for taxation assessments
do you think this song is fire?
i am 15 years long, didn’t you guess?
i’m a unit of time and i think i am the best
[gigasecond]
i’m a gigasecond, i am 31.7 years or 1 billion seconds, that is the length that appears
if you think i’m long then consider the other units of time
go over a billion years in the age of the universe, yeah that’s right
[jubilee]
i’m a jubilee, you can plainly see
i am the length of 50 years, can’t you see?
i am used in judaism biblically for ‘weeks of years’
it’s confusing too, also me
[century]
i am a century as you can now guess
i am 100 years, i do a test
most people do not live longer than me
maybe you will, and you will hopefully
[millennium]
i’m a millennium, i am 1,000 years
that’s so long, but not galactically, i’ll tell you as it appears
’cause in 1,000 years around the milky way
we move 0.0016 around the orbit around the centre, i say
[age]
i am an age, as you can see
i am superstitious in astrology
i am 2,148 and 2/3 of a year
and i haven’t happened yet since year 0 as it appears
[terasecond]
i’m a terasecond, i am 10 to the 12th in seconds
that’s a trillion seconds, that’s a long age i do reckon
i last 31,709 years, there’s no organism of my age to ever appear
[megaannum]
i’m a megaannum or a megayear
i am literally a million years
i am used in geology and abbreviated as ‘ma’
this is a fact and i am really great
[petasecond]
i’m a petasecond, i am 10 to the 15
about 31 million years, as you can plainly see
2 of me are the length it has been since the dinosaurs went extinct
i am that long, yeah i do think
[galatic year]
i’m a galactic year, yeah a competitor for the previous
i’m literally 225 million earth years, i tell you this
61.32 of me ago was the big bang
that just proves my length ’cause the big bang was so long ago, yay
[cosmological decade]
i am a cosmological decade, as you can see
i’m 10 times the length of the previous of me
with [?] beginning either 10 seconds or 10 years after the big bang
yeah, as it appears
[eon]
i am an eon, i am 10 to the 9 years, or a billion years, as it does appear
i also refer to an indefinite period of time, which is so long
literally infinite as i rhyme
[kalpa]
i am a kalpa usin’ hindu mythology
i am 4.32 billion years, as you can plainly see
i am the last of the officially named units of time
now it’s time to go onto the final 5
[exasecond]
i’m an exasecond, i’m the first one here to be the length of the time of the universe existance, it appears
i am 31 billion years, as you know
i am 2.3 times the age of the universe, i show
[zettasecond]
i’m a zettasecond as you can plainly see
the entire lifetime of brahma in hindu mythology was 9.85 of me
i hope you enjoyed my part in this song piece
[yottasecond]
i’m a yottasecond, not much facts pertain to me
i am 10 to the 24 seconds obviously
of course, that is 31 quadrillion
i am done, the next part is near
[ronnasecond]
i am a ronnasecond, i am so long, 3 of me are the estimated time ’till all stars are done from their galaxies, you can see, don’t you know?
i a 31 quintillion years, now it’s my time to go
[quettasecond]
1 final key change, i am a quettasecond
in years i am 31 s+xtillion
i’m glad you could learn about this all with me
now let’s sing the chorus 3 times for this song that you see
[chorus. all units]
units of time, you just learned in this rhyme
we just told you our names and our length, that’s right
oh, units of time you just learned in this rhyme, there were 66 of us
your knowledge did burst to the sky
units of time, you just learned in this rhyme
we just told you our names and our length, that’s right
oh, units of time you just learned in this rhyme, there were 66 of us
your knowledge did burst to the sky
units of time, you just learned in this rhyme
we just told you our names and our length, that’s right
oh, units of time you just learned in this rhyme, there were 66 of us
your knowledge did burst to the sky
[outro. gregorian year]
