The dictionary says a zeptosecond is a sextillionth of a second.
But why bring sex into it? It's about how time is reckoned.
So how small is it? What does it mean to be a sextillionth?
Well it's a thousandth of a billionth of a billionth!
So a zeptosecond is a very small amount,
But a yoctosecond has a thousandth of its count!
And that's the time it takes to emit a gluon from a quark.
And the smallness of this span of time is very, very stark.
So now that you're bored I must tell you how this poem came to be.
It's really very simple. I didn't have a poem that started with a Z.
Clever and creative! I also have written poems whose titles start with each letter of the alphabet. That's kind of fun, isn't it? That's how my zodiac poem came to be written. Your line two made me laugh. I got lost in the science, but it doesn't take much science to lose me.
Very educational, and congratulations on having poems starting with every letter of the alphabet (even if you did kind of cheat with X-AMPLE) . Ha ha ha.
Thanks Kim. Since then I have submitted 'X-rays Can't See Her Broken Heart.'
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
I have never checked to see if I have poems starting with every letter of the alphabet, but I would hazard a guess and say that I do not!
