Did you know according to the old English time system a moment is 1 and a half minutes

There is some truth to the idea that a "moment" in Old English timekeeping was related to a longer duration than our modern understanding of a moment (a very brief instant). However, it wasn't quite as long as 1 and a half minutes.

Here's a more accurate breakdown:

• Old English Moment: In medieval times, a "moment" was indeed a unit of time used. Historians believe it was derived from the movement of a shadow on a sundial and equated to 90 seconds, which is one and a half times our modern concept of a moment (around 60 seconds).
• Source: The reference to a moment being 90 seconds comes from the Oxford English Dictionary, with the earliest known use of the term in this context dating back to the 8th century.

So, while a moment in Old English wasn't quite as long as 1 and a half minutes, it was significantly longer than our current understanding of the term.

It's important to note that timekeeping methods were not always standardized in the past. The length of an hour could vary depending on the season and the method of measurement. The concept of a moment as 90 seconds provided a more precise unit within this system.
