The ruler length and width measurements reflected the largest bias, regardless of wound shape [8]. The standard error of measurement (SEM) is defined as the difference between an observed score and a true score, so the SEM is an indication of the imprecision of a measurement technique [17].
Washington: Runaway planets zipping through space at mind-numbing speeds of 30 million miles per hour are now the fastest objects in the universe, says a study. Seven years ago, the discovery of the first runaway star, shooting out of our Galaxy at a staggering speed of 1.5 million mph, set astronomers on a course of exploration.
Fastest Thing Recorded In modern physics, light is regarded as the fastest thing in the universe, and its velocity in empty space as a fundamental constant of nature. The speed of light in a vacuum is presently defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (about 186,282.397 miles per second). Thatâs basically the fastest thing the human species has ever experienced today. If you travel around the earthâs equator at the speed of light you will travel around the entire planet earth 7.4 times in approximately one second.
