"The Superhuman Within: A Story of Milliseconds and Miracles"

When you ask Google a question, before giving you an answer, it tells you that it has found 20,520,000 results in 0.65 seconds.

The time Google uses to find this answer is called server response time.

Google uses the world’s most advanced Xeon servers and the most optimized Linux web server operating system.

This system simply has to match the already existing information relevant to your question and line it up for you.

And it uses half a second to one second to do this, proudly declaring before the answer:

"I found this answer in 650 milliseconds."

Now let's move from the computer screen to the cricket field.

Shoaib Akhtar or Brett Lee is bowling.

The ball is bowled at a speed of 150 km/h.

The pitch is 20.12 meters long.

It takes the ball about 480 milliseconds to travel from one end to the other.

By the time it reaches the batsman, standing at about 19 meters, it takes 450 milliseconds.

Now suppose the ball is short of length, pitching about halfway down the pitch.

When the batsman realizes that it’s a bouncer and decides to duck so the ball can pass over his head,

he has only 225 milliseconds left — that’s about a quarter of a second.

Now imagine what the human body does in this tiny quarter of a second —

let’s try to grasp a faint idea:

---

First, the eye captures the image of the approaching ball on the retina — and remember, the image formed is upside-down.

The brain first corrects the image, recognizes it as a bouncer, and decides not to play a shot, but to duck instead.

Then, among the 86 billion neurons in the brain, a particular group of millions of neurons instructs the upper motor neurons to initiate a process called proprioception.

Proprioception is the brain’s process of sensing the exact location and tension of each muscle before moving.

The brain receives data about the positions and tension of millions of muscle fibers across the body’s 600 muscles.

Now, the brain sends millions of signals to 450 muscles to contract or relax specific muscle fibers.

The upper motor neurons transmit these signals to the spinal cord.

From there, the lower motor neurons pass the instructions to each muscle fiber, eventually reaching the axon terminals, where a chemical called acetylcholine is released.

This acetylcholine acts on each neuromuscular junction to contract the correct muscle fibers with precision.

And keep in mind — different amounts of acetylcholine are produced for each muscle fiber depending on the requirement.

After this first action, a sensory feedback is taken to ensure the body does not lose balance.

Then, based on that feedback, a new round of postural adjustments is made.

This entire process — with all its billions of intricate actions —

repeats multiple times until the batsman transitions from batting stance to a safe crouched position.

And all of this happens in less than a quarter of a second.
