“Het metrisch systeem heeft vier nieuwe voorvoegsels om het immens grote of het enorm kleine weer te geven [...] Het is de eerste keer deze eeuw dat het Internationale Stelsel van Eenheden of het SI-stelsel nieuwe voorvoegsel aanneemt. De invoering is beslist op de 27e Conférence générale des poids et mesures (CGPM) in Versailles. Op de vergadering is ook beslist om ten laatste vanaf 2035 geen schrikkelseconden meer in te voeren.”

Big data?

The SI system is getting four new prefixes. Within the next decade or so we'll be generating around a yottabyte (10^24) of data annually, so the General Conference on Weights and Measures is introducing ronna (10^27) & quetta (10^30) on the big side and ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30) on the small side.

Let me introduce you to the new giants Ronna and Quetta and their indefinitesmal siblings Ronto and Quecto.

These are official new prefixes to the SI metric system.

Quetta: 10³⁰
Ronna: 10²⁷
Ronto: 10⁻²⁷
Quecto: 10⁻³⁰

For perspective: the earth has a mass of around 6 ronnagramm (6rg).

TIL: Die Erste ist in etwa 1 Ronnagramm schwer. 😀

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

Sunday trivia: “Representatives from governments worldwide, meeting at the [GCPM] …., voted to introduce four new prefixes to the International System of Units (SI) with immediate effect. The prefixes ronna and quetta represent 10^27 and 10^30, and ronto and quecto signify 10−27 and 10−30. Earth weighs around one ronnagram, and an electron’s mass is about one quectogram.”
