Trillion dollars
Never really stopped to think what it actually amounts to but with the state of the country and it being said we now have a 17 Trillion deficit it got me wondering and asking some other people and no one I asked knew.
1 Trillion = 1 million million
1 Trillion = 1 thousand billion

RR,
Nice visualization. As a scientist (biochemist) I always deal in big numbers, like a mole of something is 6.02x10e23 molecules (BTW that is a 600 billion trillion) but when it hits the wallet it really hits home. More correctly, it is likely to hit our children's and grand children's wallet than mine.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

At least we can agree on that. I have to look it up.
Thank you.
Why did they name it a mole, I'll never know |

Mole (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mole (symbol: mol) is a unit of amount of substance: it is an SI base unit,[1] and one of the few units used to measure this physical quantity. The name "mole" was coined in German (as Mol) by Wilhelm Ostwald in 1893,[2] although the related concept of equivalent mass had been in use at least a century earlier. The name is assumed to be derived from the word Molekül (molecule). The first usage in English dates from 1897, in a work translated from German.[3][4] The names gram-atom and gram-molecule have also been used in the same sense as "mole",[1][5] but these names are now obsolete.
The mole is defined as the amount of substance of a system that contains as many "elementary entities" (e.g. atoms, molecules, ions, electrons) as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12 (12C).[1]. A mole has 6.0221415×1023[6] atoms or molecules of the pure substance being measured. A mole will possess mass exactly equal to the substance's molecular/atomic weight in grams. Because of this, one can measure the number of moles in a pure substance by weighing it and comparing the result to its molecular/atomic weight. |
