A quick definition of dead time:

Dead time refers to a period of time where nothing is happening or no work is being done. It is a time when there is no activity or progress being made towards a goal. Dead time can be frustrating, but it is important to use it wisely by planning and preparing for future tasks or taking a break to recharge.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dead time refers to the period of time during which a system or device is not functioning or is unable to respond to input signals.

For example, in a Geiger counter used to detect radiation, there is a brief period of time after each detection during which the device is unable to detect any further radiation. This is known as dead time.

Another example is in a computer system, where dead time can occur when the system is busy processing a task and is unable to respond to user input until the task is complete.

These examples illustrate how dead time can impact the performance and accuracy of a system or device, and how it can affect the user's experience.

"But I also want to end on this note. Don't be afraid of being wrong. And what I mean by that is, being wrong about a school. I applied to Princeton coming out of high school and didn't get in. I ended up going to Vanderbilt. I could never see myself having gone anywhere but Vanderbilt." -Spivey
