A Time Scale for Fast Events.
Onwood, David
Journal of Chemical Education, v63 n8 p680-81 Aug 1986
Discusses the various ways that time is measured and expressed, noting several discrepancies between descriptives and their respective vocabularies. Suggests that a logarithmic time scale be adopted by chemists (such as one used in the experimental sciences) particularly when addressing very fast processes. (TW)
