If becquerel why not microfortnight? (about a second)
- amluto 3y agoThat’s not the same thing at all. You obviously mean the inverse microfortnight.
- basil-rash 3y agoAnd the problem with that of course is whether the µfn is 1,000/(2 weeks) or 1/(2,000 weeks). All in all the Bq is a cool unit! I learned something today.

- afc 3y agoBecause the point is to have a Si unit of event rate (becquerel), not of time. Otherwise, if micro-fortnight (about a second), why not ... second?
- ursusmaritimus 3y agoMaybe we can generalize the becquerel to mean the average number of events per second of an arbitrary Poisson process? (The number requests per second and the number of decayed particles per second usually follow Poisson distribution.)
