My favorite use of nano was Grace Hopper’s demonstration of a nanosecond. She had a piece of copper cut to show how far light would travel in a nanosecond. It was something like six inches.
A very impressive adverts I saw was for a Logic Analyser. It showed a hand with forefinger and thumb spread apart and a light beam between them. It stated “By the time light travels this distance, we’ve already sampled it twice”
I once saw a guy coming out of a Physics lecture carrying an approximately one-foot-long piece of straight coat-hangar wire. He said the professor gave one to each member of the class. It was the length of one light-nanosecond, the distance traveled by a beam of light in vacuum in one billionth of a second (a thousandth of a millionth of a second for UK readers).

Next year, you’ll get one 1000x as big. You’ll get a micro-raise!
