We can detect volume changes of sounds with "a few femtoseconds"
Is that right? Can we see some evidence?
Just that a femtosecond is one millionth of one billionth of a second (10 to the minus 15 seconds)
To put this into context, a 20kHz sine wave, one cycle, lasts 5 billion femtoseconds.
I thought my ears were good but apparently not...
