A ns is 10^-9 of a second. Anything smaller than 10^-9 is smaller a nanosecond. Example: 0.99 ns or 10 ps.

1 picosecond (one-trillionth of a second) - This is about the shortest period of time we can currently measure accurately.
1 nanosecond (one-billionth of a second) - 2 to 4 nanoseconds is the length of time that a typical home computer spends executing one software instruction.
1 microsecond (one-millionth of a second)
1 millisecond (one-thousandth of a second) - This is the typical fastest time for the exposure of film in a normal camera. A picture taken in 1/1,000th of a second will usually stop all human motion.
1 centisecond (one-hundredth of a second) - The length of time it takes for a stroke of lightning to strike
1 decisecond (one-tenth of a second) - A blink of an eye
1 second - An average person's heart beats once each second.

I think it's a Chronon. It's a trillionth of a billionth of a billionth of a trillionth of a second. It means how long does it takes for light to cover a distance of an atom.
