what is 10 to the 27th power? hella!
a college kids in Davis is attempting to officially name the number 10^27 "hella."
It started as a joke, but Sendek's Facebook petition: to the Consultative Committee on Units, a subdivision of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, has drawn more than 60,000 supporters. Its chances for formal adoption by the global weights-and-measures community are hella dim, but Google was so taken with Sendek's modest proposal that it incorporated "hella" in its online calculator.
it would be so tight!
I showed this little pearl to my stay at home 43 year old son the math whiz.......he immediately said something to the effect "AVAGADRO'S NUMBER IS 6.03 TIMES TEN TO THE 31 st POWER. WHICH, IF YOU HAVE THAT MANY OF SOMETHING MEANS YOU HAVE ONE MOLE OF THAT SOMETHING.
ReplyDeleteSO MY MOLE BEATS THE HELLAOUTAYO HELLA.
Of course his mole isn't registered with any of the Davis guys credentialed places.....it's kind of a Cal thing I guess.
