In Statistics-A moment is the mean or expected value of the product formed by multiplying together a set of one or more variates or variables each to a specified power.
In Philosophy- A moment is an aspect of a thing or an essential or constituent factor.
In Mechanics-A moment is a tendency to produce motion, esp. about an axis or the product of a physical quantity and its directed distance from an axis: moment of area; moment of mass.

According to Rudyard Kipling, "The unforgiving minute can be filled with "60 seconds of distance run". The moment is a place we exist between two places that don't, yesterday and tomorrow. So like Kipling, I say, " fill a lifetime of yesterdays and tomorrows" with a smile on the moment you're in.

It depends. Is it a moment with a bad tooth ache, or a moment in the middle of an orgasm.
I bet one would seem a lot longer than the other.

moment is the life ,if you invest your life you will find that the moment and time is going fast and that true ,
On the contrary ,if you haven't got purposes in your life you think that like is long and purposeless and that is totally false .
The moment is the gold of those whom have goals ,and the time of doing accomplishing desires to those whom think that life and moment are only material thing ,thus they wouldn't live in equalities

THIS I CAN ANSWER!
I Telephoned "British Telecom Customer Care Centre" where a very nice female "Adviser" said:-
"I'll just put you on HOLD FOR A MOMENT"!
Ergo:- a British Telecom MOMENT is 27.5 minutes!

The length of a moment is equivalent to the size of a point.

a moment lasts only as long as your ability to hold onto it.
