message: Any stories about an officially confirmed SI prefix after yotta?? 66.245.112.204 00:45, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I don't think one can stick SI prefixes before just any word regardless of whether or not it's an SI unit. (Can one say that the world population currently stands at 6.6 gigapeople?) In any case, this sentence could be written for any substance, not just carbon-12 – if this sentence is of any value, it is to give information about the Avogadro constant, not about a particular isotope of carbon.

thread_title:  Yottaatoms? 

message: In one of the examples, it says something about information storage. I don´t know about you people, but I don´t understand it. A yottabyte of storage per year?? Does that means the amount of information in the world? or maybe the amount of data transit in the mind during a year... And why 2013???  I justING don´t get it  --Damërung ...ÏìíÏ..._ΞΞΞ_  . 20:50, 9 July 2008 (GMT-6)
:I'm seconding this request.  What is the phrase supposed to mean?  If it's just an example, then it would make more sense to find one from an actual source. --Several Times (talk) 17:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mega 1960? 

message: It is clear from looking at the reference to Otta that the origins of this prefix don't directly come from the Greek (as Greeks also realise). It's just the character that was chosen and to someone they sounded similar. Certainly hardly worthy of being considered an etymological evolution?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.181.131 (talk) 21:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

message: There is the greek name in there but not the pronunciation. Is it pronounced like "yo-ta" or "ya-ta" or what? 67.189.69.74 (talk) 18:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  How to pronounce? 

message: ....I may just be being very stupid (an entirely plausible explanation, I'm the first to admit....), but I do not understand usage example number 3....what "error" is there to be spotted? How does the yotta prefix "help" in spotting this supposed error? What "meaning" does the ratio of the mass of the Earth to the power output of the sun have?
Can anyone help to clear this up?

thread_title:  ....what a yotta rubbish.... 

message: Bronto is claimed by many to be the next one above this in the scale (at 10^27), but this is/was supposedly unofficial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronto#Unofficial_prefixes). So what is the current state on this? Has the SI made-up its mind on what we're all supposed to be using yet or not, and if not, why not? Nothing on the WP explains what is going on very clearly.

thread_title:  "Bronto-" or something else, is the next above?
