Suprisingly,there is something even smaller than a yoctosecond,a Planck time. A horribly small time of 10 to the power of negative 44 seconds,this is the time required to travel one Planck length at the speed of light,which is unbelievably fast.{{TIQBook-Ch2}} |

Template:TIQBCH2Question 83 of the Impossible Quiz Book contains the question:"Which is shortest?" and the four options:"Femtosecond","Yoctosecond","Yottasecond" and "Attosecond". The bomb from the previous question is still here,so you still need to move quickly.
The answer is "Yoctosecond" as it is the shortest unit of time.A yottasecond is 32 quadrillon years.It is REALLY big,isn't it? Well, a femtosecond is one millionth of one billionth of a second.Wow,it can't get any smaller,right?It gets smaller.A femtosecond is 1000 attoseconds,so how small is one attosecond? One quintillionth second!Not small enough? The yoctosecond is a miniscule 10 to the power of negative 24 seconds,which is 24 0's before the unit 1! This is the correct answer.
