This IIRC is also used to measure the time it takes light to cross a hydrogen atom (more precisely, 1 Bohr radius).
Wonder if our nose-up-his-camera-tracked-ass Brit got that info in his superiour education?

A quick look also has a jiffy = 1 cm / speed of light and 1 Planck Length/speed of light. Never heard of a shake.
According to this:

..a shake is 10 nanoseconds, about 10 feet.

No...
but I can spell "superior".
I must say, I don't measure an awful lot of hydrogen atoms these days.
Must have slipped my mind.
