Wait what about wekameter for quettameters and xennameters for ronnameters And wektometers for quectometers and xonometers for rontometers?

But we shouldn't

Double prefixes are obsolete and not BIPM approved

@@brauljo We still do stuff like undecillion, and duodecillion. There appears to be no reason not to do so, as it saves unused letters for prefixes in the long run…

@@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal The problem is that those words mean different things in the short and long scales

Instead of quettaronna-, we can do ocha-. And otro- for quectoronto-.

10^27 is nothing in front of infinity. Nothing. 10^(10^27) is nothing. And so on.

They're only cringe if you make them cringe, they connotatively sound like any other prefix

"Quantum physics and any and all real sciences aren't going to continue to adapt increasingly-cringe-sounding prefixes but instead stick with simpler and unbounded exponential notation." Why the hell not? The prefixes we do have are practical and efficient. Please just stop. Also, what do you mean by "real sciences"? That's a very questionable assertion. Metrology is a real science.

Looks like these people just want to show off their new prefixes!😂 Just like a boy who likes to show off his new shoes, or a girl who likes to show off her new dress!

Wrong. The mass of the Sun is 1,989 Quettagrams. You cannot combine prefixes. Otherwise, 1 milligram would be called 1 microkilogram.

The mass of Ton 618 is 1.31274 x 10^14 Qg.

@@lhuskamikathoria Wow! I haven't seen anything within the range of Quettateragrams…

@@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal "quettatera" doesn't exist. 👍

​@@lhuskamikathoriaQuettateragrams are actually sortagrams.

Well, the way DRAM stores data, a bit is stored as the capacitive charge in the gate of a MOSFET. The gate acts like a very small capacitor. I'm not sure about the 5nm node MOSFETs they use in modern CPUs, but in much larger, discreet MOSFETs the capacitance is still only a few picofarad. But the point is when that capacitance on the MOSFET is holding a bit, it's charged up basically like a very tiny battery. It's a bit confusing, I know. But when the capacitance of the gate is charged, negatively charged electrons flood into one side of it, while the other side has electrons pulled away from it creating a positive charge equally opposite to the negative charge on the other side. So you have an excess of electrons on one side and a lack of them on the other. Those electrons have weight so I'm assuming that's what they're talking about. You can do some simple math to find how many coulombs of charge of the MOSFET's capacitance holds at the voltage it's at. And since charge is directly proportional to how many charged particles (electrons) you have, you can take the charge value and figure out how many electrons would create that much charge. And then work out how much mass that many electrons has. And yes this is not an easy thing to explain or understand. You need a good bit of background in computer science, physics and electronics to understand even the explanation. This is stuff most people don't get to until 2nd or 3rd year university so don't feel bad if you're confused. If you're really set on understanding it, the best thing you can do is write down any terms in this post you don't understand and learn about them one by one. And take it slowly. Here are some terms that will help you get started. Wikipedia, and the textbook on allaboutcircuits.com will have info on these. Voltage, charge, current, power capacitors, capacitance, transistors, field effect transistor (fet), jfet, mosfet, multivibrators, sram and dram. In more or less that order. Remember to take your time. Best of luck! And take a break if you have to.

@@VoidHalo this is a fantastic explanation, I can't thank you enough! I hope I got this (at least to some extent) right already, that the weight of data is matched (or corelated) to the weight of the particles needed to store the information in the capacitors (like MOSFETs). Thank you again, kind regards!

Maybe it's similar to how charged batteries are ever so slightly more massive
