Wouldn’t this make the units temperature-dependent?
Landauer limit is one kTln2 per bit of information, so at 300K about 3 zeptojoule per bit.
Dividing by c² we get 32 micro-quectogram per bit, so 32 yoctogram per terabit. 256 yoctogram per terabyte.
The Author wants half a septillion terabytes, 0.5•10²⁴ terabytes, half a yotta-terabyte.
That makes 128 grams.Since I don’t know what on earth “a cup of flour” is, I can’t judge if the comic character proposes a reasonable conversion, but 0.1kg seems like a reasonable amount to use in cooking.
For baking I would rather have my units temperature dependent than density dependent (I can compact my flour or work with water or nuts, all having different densities, but my room temperature will always be roughly 300).
I endorse einstein-landauer units.That doesn’t work anyway, since based on wheat variety, growing season, and grinding method, different flours have different information density.
Sounds like the culinary world would benefit from having a measurement system that accounts for these factors.
Oh sure, throw a fit — just wait until you want to convert those units to kilojoules!
Who’s laughing now, tablespoons?!
I have absolutely no understanding of whatever is said here
Metric appears to end at 10^30, but even then, I think the better way to phrase that number would be 5,000 quetta-bytes
Tera = 10^12;
SeptillionSextillion = 10^21
Source*500 000 quettabytes
*Sextillion = 10^21 ( = Zetta)I’d recommend wikipedia here, your source seems to have taken 3 years to update their table and their image is still outdated.
They likely didn’t use quetta because it was only added 3 years ago, and is still not widely known. Or maybe it sounded better.
Derp, that’s what happens when you have to bounce between too many pages on mobile.
Thanks for the pointer!
