Time scale
Time scale may refer to: *Time standard, a specification of either the rate at which time passes, points in time, or both *A duration or quantity of time: **Orders of magnitude (time) as a power of 10 in seconds; **A specific unit of time *Geological time scale, a scale that divides up the history of Earth into scientifically meaningful periods In astronomy and physics: *Dynamical time scale (stellar physics), the time in which changes in one part of a body can be communicated to the rest of that body *Dynamical time scale, in celestial mechanics, a realization of a time-like argument based on a dynamical theory *Nuclear timescale, an estimate of the lifetime of a star based solely on its rate of fuel consumption *Thermal time scale, an estimate of the lifetime of a star once the fuel reserves at its center are used up In cosmology and particle physics: *Planck time, the time scale beneath which quantum effects are comparable in significance to gravitational effects In mathematics: *Time-scale calculus, the unification of the theory of difference equations with differential equations In music: *Rhythm, a temporal pattern of events *Time scale (music), which divides music into sections of time In project management: *Man-hour, the time scale used in project management to account for human labor planned or utilized
