Imagine a situation when you have to read this number out loud, what would you say?
🗣️: it is (billion) times (billion) times (billion) times (thousand)!!!
Actually, did you know, there is a word for that (huuuuge) number as per BIPM.
In 2022, BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) came up with a word that can describe 10^27 and 10^30 in both (negative and positive) forms.
- Quetta
- Quecto
- Ronna
- Ronto
🔑 takeaway
I believe in Moore’s Law to be more truthful rather than ‘falsy’, as even the naming conventions are adapting for the growth in computing power that’s required to process data in today’s world. We are entering new age, where human language is going to be main programming language for all computers.
Now, I don’t love you billion times; I am deeply drowning in your love quetta times.
