Useful Cooking Unit Conversion

[George Jones]

A hollow rectangular tube with cross-sectional area of 1 barn and a length of 1 megaparsec will hold a quantity of material of approximately 2/3 of a teaspoon.

 

[hutchphd]

Its hard to fit it in the kitchen drawer, though.

 

[Frabjous]

That‘s a really fine ground.

Followup question - what fraction of neutrinos make it to the end? What is the flavor?

 

[Ibix]

Tricky to get the last few drops out of the bottom. And you just know that they made the neck a bit narrower where the screw thread is, so it's hard to get your megaparsec long handled spoon in there.

Followup question - what fraction of neutrinos make it to the end? What is the flavor?

Well if it's a hermetically sealed container they ought to be sterile neutrinos.

 

[fresh_42]

You all missed the crucial point: Will the dark matter on the spoon make the cake heavier?

 

[berkeman]

Followup question - what fraction of neutrinos make it to the end?

Almost none. They get bored relatively quickly...

You have to throw it in at $\left (\sqrt {1-2.6\times10^{-46}} \right ) c$.

 

[Vanadium 50]

A hollow rectangular tube with cross-sectional area

As opposed to a hollow cylindrical tube?

 

[hutchphd]

Barn doors are square. A barn is therefore a unit of rectilinear area.

 

[Vanadium 50]

Just sayin'.

 

[Borek]

Hardly practical if you are cooking in a hurry, adding a teaspoon of anything takes almost 5 years.

 

[Vanadium 50]

Shouldn't it be 5 million?

 

[Borek]

Yep, missed that "mega" part, my bad.

So it is even worse.

 

[hutchphd]

No fast food here...
