About Millisecond (ms)

A unit of time equal to exactly 0.001 second = 10⁻³ s. Milliseconds are the native unit of computer performance and human-perception engineering: network latency per RFC 8312 + Google Network Quality (typical home broadband round-trip-time RTT 10-50 ms; transcontinental fiber RTT 60-90 ms; geostationary satellite RTT ~500-600 ms; Starlink LEO ~25-50 ms); page-load and TTFB (Time-To-First-Byte) per Core Web Vitals (Google PageSpeed Insights LCP target <2,500 ms; INP target <200 ms; CLS not time-based); display frame intervals (60 FPS = 16.67 ms/frame; 120 FPS = 8.33 ms; 240 FPS = 4.17 ms; 480 FPS = 2.08 ms competitive-gaming target); video-game input latency (competitive esports total system latency target <30 ms keyboard-to-photon per NVIDIA Reflex testing); HFT financial trading per SEC Reg NMS (NYSE matching engine matching latency ~30 microseconds = 0.03 ms; co-located HFT total round-trip 200-400 microseconds); human visual reaction time per Donders 1868 + modern psychophysics 200-300 ms simple visual stimulus, 400-600 ms choice reaction. The JavaScript Date API, Unix epoch with millisecond precision, performance.now(), and most performance profilers report in milliseconds by default.

About Minute (min)

A unit of time equal to exactly 60 seconds. Minutes are the everyday unit of short-duration human activities: meeting schedules (typical 15/30/60 min blocks in business calendars; legal-services billing typically per 6-minute = 0.1-hour increments per ABA + RICS practice); commute times (US Census ACS American Community Survey reports mean US commute as 27.6 min one-way); cooking and recipe timings (CSA + FoodSafety.gov + ISO 22000 HACCP timing in minutes); music track durations (typical pop song 3-4 min per IFPI; classical movement 5-25 min); exercise interval-training protocols (HIIT 30-second / 90-second blocks; Pomodoro Technique 25-min work / 5-min break per Cirillo 1980s methodology); athletic-event durations (NBA quarter 12 min; NFL quarter 15 min; soccer half 45 min); medical NIH+CDC protocols (basic life support CPR cycles 2 min); ISO 8601 date-time format hh:mm:ss universally separates hours from minutes with colon. Originating from medieval Latin 'pars minuta prima' (first small part of an hour). While minute is not an SI base unit, it is officially accepted for use alongside SI per BIPM SI Brochure 'non-SI units accepted for use with SI' (Table 8, with hour and day).
