The second is the SI base unit of time, defined since 1967 as exactly 9,192,631,770 oscillations of the cesium-133 atom. It is the foundation of all other time units.

Human reaction time and the duration of a typical heartbeat are both roughly in the range of 0.2–1.0 seconds.
What is a Minute?
The minute equals exactly 60 seconds and has divided the hour since Babylonian astronomers applied their base-60 (sexagesimal) system to timekeeping. Its name comes from the Latin 'pars minuta prima,' meaning the first small division of the hour. Minutes are the standard for measuring short durations in recipes, meetings, and sports timing. An average adult reads approximately 200–250 words per minute.
