If I'm not mistaken....the Greek word for "twinkling" and "in an instant" are the same....
It means instantaneous.....or without delay

It's probably a fancy term for a blink, which takes about 0.1 sec. As a literary metaphor, it means that something happens very fast, or seems to. In other words, it isn't intended to be a specific measure of time.

between 250 - 500 nanoseconds per twinkle.... a twinkling is any extended period of twinkle repetitions and can be any length... though generaly lasting .75 seconds
