"Data! Data, isn't this exciting? We are going to witness a moment in history."
"Every nanosecond in this continuum is a moment in history, once it has elapsed."
"No, no, no, no. I mean, we're going to see something that people will talk about for years."
– Geordi La Forge and Data discussing the soliton wave, 2368 ("New Ground")

A nanosecond was a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second.

In 2365, the USS Yamato was destroyed by a plasma vent that lasted T+2.25 nanoseconds. (TNG: "Contagion")

To attract the attention of the Crystalline Entity, the USS Enterprise-D emitted five-nanosecond graviton emissions at one pulse per second. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar")
