About these units

Jubilee (jubilee)

Biblical (Hebrew)Historical unit (no longer in standard use)

Fifty years (some readings say 49), the biblical cycle after which land was returned.

Leviticus 25 tells the Israelites to count seven sabbaths of years, then to hallow the fiftieth year, when land returned to its original holders and bondservants went free. The Hebrew word yovel also meant a ram and a ram's horn trumpet, and the year was announced by a shofar blast on Yom Kippur. The English word comes from the Latin form iobeleus used in the Vulgate.

Whether the jubilee lasted 49 or 50 years is disputed. Judah the Prince identified it with the 49th year, while most classical rabbis and Maimonides read it as a separate 50th year, and some modern scholars favour 49. The figure used here is 50 years, about 1.58 billion seconds, as one common reading and a convention rather than a settled length. Practice lapsed after the exile. The Catholic Church later borrowed the name: Boniface VIII declared a jubilee in 1300, the interval was set at 50 years in 1343 and 25 years in 1470, and the 2025 jubilee ran from December 2024 to January 2026.

1 jubilee = 1,577,847,600 seconds (exactly).

Minute (min)

Metric (SI)Current unit

60 seconds. Defined as one sixtieth of an hour.

Minute means small, not short. It comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, the first small part, produced when sixty-based division was applied to the hour. Al-Biruni is credited with dividing the hour into minutes, seconds, thirds and fourths around the year 1000, and Roger Bacon used the same scheme in 1267. For everyday life the minute needed hardware: Jost Bürgi is said to have made the first clock with a minute hand, for Tycho Brahe in 1577, and watches got minute hands only after Thomas Tompion's hairspring of 1675 made them accurate enough.

A minute is 60 seconds, exactly 1/60 of an hour, and the BIPM's SI Brochure is the reference for its symbol, min. Civil timekeeping can bend the rule: because of leap seconds, a UTC minute occasionally holds 61 seconds. A negative leap second would produce a 59-second minute, but that has never happened in more than 40 years. People use the minute for cooking, lectures and phone calls, and the same name serves for the arcminute, which is a sixtieth of a degree.

1 minute = 60 seconds (exactly).
