Can someone help a pleb like me know the guy and the number reference? Edit: thanks guys!, I’ll study him :-)
It's Avogadro's constant. The number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant
Wait. They redefined it in 2019 but I thought that "new" way was what I did in school 🤔
They changed the definition, the value is the same (within the error of the best available measurement of the time).
Isn't it the number of atoms of ANY element for it's element in number of grams?
Look up Avogadro
You kids these days with your Avogadro toast...
Holy Mole-y
Look up en passant
And that's how you capture a thread.
Three Twentysix explains it brilliantly
