What is an octennial?

An octennial is a time period equal to eight years, often used to describe long-term schedules or terms.

What does a shake represent?

A shake is a very short time unit equal to 10 nanoseconds, mainly used in nuclear physics to describe prompt events.

Why convert octennials to shakes?

Converting octennials to shakes helps bridge time intervals from long-term durations to extremely fine nuclear physics timing scales.
