just learned that in 2022 four new SI prefixes were defined. shook

When I graduated with a degree in physics, the biggest and smallest SI prefices were ‘yocto’ and ‘yotta’. Now, because the total amount of information available to humans is growing so quickly, we've had to expand upwards to ‘ronna’ and ‘quetta’. It's only the physicists love of symmetry that has given us ‘ronto’ and ‘quecto’.

I have 47 yoctobytes of Star Trek :D .
