Talk:Attosecond

Reference for definition

Is the BIPM definition of SI prefixes a good enough reference for the definition of an attosecond? The angel jean (talk) 04:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, citations needed! I don't like the reference which en.wikipedia uses for these little factoids, they all come directly from someone's masters thesis and citations aren't given. Will try and find better sources sometime. The angel jean (talk) 04:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Is this POV? What else can I put instead?

I wrote this explanation of the purpose of the article: This should help when thinking about periods of time that have different orders of magnitude. Can someone improve on it? The angel jean (talk) 04:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Complex tag

I simplified the article! Can I remove the tag? The angel jean (talk) 04:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Move to attosecond?

Should we? On the one hand, attosecond isn't a basic word that people would be searching for in Simple English. On the other hand, I can't see a good reason for people to be searching for 1 E-18s either. It exists here because it's linked in the "orders of magnitudes of time" template.
