That could depend on which theory you subscribe to concerning parallel universes and if there are indeed 11 dimension. In our dimension one event or the other almost always do occur with some difference in time, perhaps less than a nanosecond.

But if the two events do occur simultaneously, will it create a a warp in the time-space continuum? Will it turn the ball into some hideous color?

Or, one could hope, it will create a black hole in the first baseman's mitt, sucking in yipping coaches and leather-lunged parents?

(In my particular spot in the cosmos, as much as I want to get one of those 42 outs, the ball has to beat the runner...unless it is 19-2 in the bottom of the second with two outs and the team that is ahead on offense. Then, I gots me an out.)

Less than a nanosecond? How about in a femtosecond?

A femtosecond is one millionth of a nanosecond.

A nanosecond (ns or nsec) is one billionth of a second.

Other fairly close plays would be ........

A picosecond = one trillionth of a second, or one millionth of a microsecond.

An attosecond = one quintillionth of a second.
