Scientists have finally found something faster than a teenage boy.
https://www.iflscience.com/physics/physicists-reach-new-record-with-shortest-time-measurement-yet/
Researchers at Goethe University have measured the shorted interval of time yet: 247 zeptoseconds. A zeptosecond is equivalent to a trillionth of a billionth of a second and the new measurement is over three times smaller than the previous record established in 2016.

As reported in Science, the research team used a molecule made of two hydrogens, the simplest and most abundant atom in the universe. They then measured how long it takes for photons to cross the molecule and found it to be 247 zeptoseconds
