>2.43×10^-15 electrons
I believe TFA reads 2.43×10^-15 kg, not electrons. Unless SSDs are creating new and exciting physics, one can't have less than one electron, as it's an elementary particle.
- jmalicki 7mo agoNeutrinos weight far less than electrons (but while NAND flash involves super weird physics it's not that weird)
- stackghost 7mo agoThey do weigh far less, but a quantity of "10^-15 electrons" is still impossible.
- alanh 7mo ago10^–15 is not a negative number, just a small one. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=10%5E-15+ https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=10%5E-15+
- 1718627440 7mo agoAnd it is less than one?
- ChrisClark 7mo agoGood thing he didn't say that
- stackghost 7mo agoYes, you're correct. Now ask yourself if "one quadrillionth of an electron" is a quantity that's possible to have.
- karmakaze 7mo agoWell you could have a virtual particle whose mass could be time-averaged.
