A millisecond is a tiny slice of time: one thousand milliseconds make one second. You will see it written ms. Computers, photo-finishes in sport, and science use it because a whole second is too big for those jobs. Though actually, you cannot feel a millisecond; a blink already holds many of them. The prefix milli- here means “a thousandth,” the same milli- as in — not “a million.”
