Talk:Yocto-

Appearance
The best part of this page is the cool arc the numbers make. Also, comma decimal marks? What is this, Europe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.125.5.101 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 25 August 2007

Atomic scale
It is used for measuring an atom's length, radius, and mass, for example:

Actually the size of an atom is far larger, the examples given are subatomic particles. Atoms world be in the Zepto range. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.189.197.178 (talk) 12:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Mass of proton and neutron
I think the masses stated are wrong. They should be of the order of magnitude of 10-27 kg NOT 10-27 g. Currently they are 3 orders of magnitute off. --kupirijo (talk) 09:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Unconfirmed SI
To say that yocto is currently the smallest "confirmed" Si prefix implies the possibility of unconfirmed SI prefixes, which sounds like nonsense. Can someone justify using the word "confirmed?" If not, I suggest its removal. Dwr12 (talk) 23:26, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Before we change this, I wonder whether there is a process that's generally followed for SI prefix additions. I don't know how many times a prefix smaller than yocto has been (or will be) proposed, but the language as it stands is correct and specific.  Why change it?  --Scray (talk) 00:00, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * What proposals have been made for smaller and larger prefixes? Serious ones, not "grouchto, harpto, and chicto"? -- Resuna (talk) 12:56, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Yocto is not the smallest SI prefix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zepto- Johnnywhitewalker (talk) 10:19, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yocto- is 10-24, Zepto- is 10-21. But this discussion is not about which is smaller, but about the wording of "confirmed" prefixes. -- Evilninja (talk) 13:39, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
