In physics, the moment of force (often just moment, though there are other quantities of that name such as moment of inertia) is a quantity that represents the magnitude of force applied to a rotational system at a distance from the axis of rotation. The concept of the moment arm, this characteristic distance, is key to the operation of the lever, pulley, gear, and most other simple machines capable of generating mechanical advantage. The SI unit for moment is the newton meter (Nm).
Moment = Magnitude of Force x Perpendicular distance to the pivot (Fd)
In general, the (first) moment M of a vector B is
where Ma=r x B
r is the position where quantity B is applied.
à represents the cross product of the vectors.
If r is a vector relative to point A, then the moment is the "moment M with respect to the axis that goes through the point A", or simply "moment M around A". If A is the origin, one often omits A and says simply moment.
So a moment is Moment = Magnitude of Force x Perpendicular distance to the pivot , long.
This is only in physics :P
Using time as an answer it would be:
A moment, in context with time, is an indefinitely short period of time. Sometimes defined as zero seconds long.
Is this the answer you were looking for? :P

A moment like this? Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this?
I'd say a moment is dependent on the situation. . .

well if I'm dealing with my mother a moment can be anywhere from a minute to an hour,,,,if I'm really bored a moment is (forever) but of course if i only had "a moment" more to breathe it would probably be faster then the speed of light,

Unless I am mistaken...a moment is 90 seconds.

I guess 5-10 seconds?

Time is not where you are but when you are. Everything depends upon perception. What we see has already passed into the time stream mega seconds before we observed it.

it may be life long or limited to 1 minute only

A momment is the length of time it takes to finnish what your doing to see to someone else.
