| 1190604 | 2011-03-30 21:00:00 | How do you define a moment? :pf1mobmini: Very good question there. A moment in history could be several years as in World War 2. A Moment is normally defined as a brief period of time and considering all the history we have accumulated to date the years between 1939 and 1945 occupy a relatively brief part. |

A medieval unit of time equal to 1/40 hour or 1.5 minutes. This meaning has come down to us only as "a brief interval of time." The moment was divided into 12 ounces of 7.5 seconds each. Link (www.unc.edu). (You'll need to scroll a bit...) Also defined as: "A moment is exactly half the length of a piece of string." |

As it happens I learnt that a moment was once 1.5 minutes. I'll be back in half a mo'. :) Maybe. |
