A millisecond is a tiny unit of time equal to one-thousandth of a second. To put that in perspective, a single blink of an eye takes about 300 to 400 milliseconds. Often abbreviated as ms, it's a standard unit of measurement essential for understanding speed in technology, biology, and our everyday digital lives.
Our brains are incredibly fast, processing an entire image in just 13 milliseconds.
This incredible speed allows for the smooth motion of still images in movies. For example, most movies are shot at 24 frames per second, with each frame appearing for about 42 milliseconds. Millisecond processing is essential to our interaction with the world around us.
Every millisecond matters online. Tiny delays we barely notice can still hurt performance, annoy users, and cost real money. A few examples:
The human nervous system is a remarkable network that sends messages in just milliseconds. A nerve impulse, also known as an action potential, lasts for only 1 to 2 milliseconds.
In that tiny fraction of time, an electrical signal travels down a neuron, allowing your brain to send commands to the rest of your body almost instantly. This is what will enable us to think, move, and feel in real-time.
