Pedantically speaking,
4 KB is 4 kelvin·bel.
(Working out which is the associated physical _quantity_, if any,
is the more interesting part of the exercise, of course.)_________
By the way, the first patent for a telephone was issued just a tad over 150 years ago.
Thomson's work on absolute temperature is about a quarter of a century older. -
Stop trying to make "kibibyte" happen. It's not going to happen.

Canadian friends, you use all kinds of units. Are you able to convert all of them or is the weight of a human a total different scale to you than a horse or a pack if flour? #units #imperialSystem #SIUnits

Dinge, die meinen inneren Ingenieur in den Wahnsinn treiben:
Geschwindigkeit: Einheit m/s
Beschleunigung = Geschwindigkeit [m/s] pro Zeit [s]: Einheit [m/s^2]
Kraft = Masse [kg] mal Beschleunigung [m/s^2]: Einheit Newton [N] = kg*m/s^2
Arbeit = Kraft [N] mal Weg [m]: Einheit Joule [J] = kg*m^2/s^2
Leistung = Arbeit [J] pro Zeit [s]: J/s = Einheit Watt [W] = kg*m^2/s^3"um die Geschwindigkeit zu messen, mit der Arbeit verrichtet wird": 😵💫🤯

The Earth weighs about six ronnagram, Jupiter about two quettagram and the diameter of the observable universe is about one ronnametre. Those are the new SI prefixes representing ronna (10^27) and quetta (10^30).
At the other end you have the ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30). A ronto is useful for expressing the flux density of a radio emission (Jansky) which is 10^-26 Watts Metre^-2 Hertz^-1.

The Earth now weighs 6 ronnagrams. What does that mean? Find out in this news story from the Washington Post https://wapo.st/3XgZMX5 :-)

The luminosity of the LHC is 100 am⁻²s⁻¹.
#siunits are not always useful. But 10³⁴cm⁻²s⁻¹ is not much better.

The electron mass is 0.9 rontogram.
Now you know it. #siunits
