International scientists voted in France to add metric prefixes representing the world’s largest and smallest unit. It is reflected in the ever-increasing quantity of data. An ever-increasing amount of data indicates it.
Scientists have voted on new prefixes added for the first time in three decades to the International System of Units. Now the weight of the earth is about six ronnagrams.
Known prefixes such as ronna and quetta have a large number, and ronto and quecto have the smallest in the SI measurement system.
At 27th General Conference on Weights and Measures, scientists and state representatives from around the world determine new additions to the International System of Units (SI) every four years at the Palace of Versailles in France.
Dr. Richard Brown from the National Physical Laboratory in the UK proposed new prefixes.
The prefixes make it easier to represent objects of larger objects. “If we think about mass, instead of distance, the Earth weighs approximately six ronnagrams,” Brown said. “Jupiter, that’s about two quettagrams.”
