That's the speed of a
molecular gyroscope.
Molecular gyroscopes are chemical compounds or supramolecular complexes containing a rotor that moves freely relative to a stator,
and therefore act as gyroscopes. Though any single bond or triple bond
permits a chemical group to freely rotate, the compounds described as
gyroscopes may protect the rotor from interactions, such as in a crystal
structure with low packing density or by physically surrounding the
rotor avoiding steric contact... the rate for inertially rotating
p-phenylene without barriers is estimated to be approximately 2.4 x
10^12 per second (2,400,000,000,000 RPS)...
The human mind (at least mine) is not capable of conceiving of such behavior.
