    I find it fascinating that this exact process that was discovered in order to create weapons during war is also whats used to create the majority of the worlds industrial fertilizers. It’s singlehandedly the biggest leap in food production ever, more than GMOs or crossbreeding or anything. It’s basically the main reason we are able to support a global population in the billions. We’ve used it so much that we are dependent on it









  • So google got fined 2x10 ^ 34?

    The earth is made up of 1.33x10 ^ 50 atoms. An A4 sheet of paper is made up of 8.37x10 ^ 23. Let’s assume roughly a dollar bill is 1/8th of an A4 sheet, so 1x10 ^ 23.

    The atoms in the dollar bill (10 ^ 23) multipled by the fine total (2x10 ^ 34) is 2x10 ^ 57.

    This means if every atom on the entire earth was rearranged into dollar bills you wouldn’t have enough money. You would need to do that to a million earths to pay that fine.

    Disclaimer: I half assed this math on my lunch break and I trusted Google AI results for the atom counts
