attoparsec

( n.)

   About  an inch. atto- is the standard SI prefix for multiplication by
   10^-18. A parsec (parallax-second) is 3.26 light-years; an attoparsec
   is  thus  3.26  ×  10^-18  light  years,  or  about  3.1  cm (thus, 1
   attoparsec/{microfortnight}  equals  about  1 inch/sec). This unit is
   reported  to  be  in  use  (though probably not very seriously) among
   hackers in the U.K. See {micro-}.
