Non-Frequently Asked Questions About Slugs to Nanograms

Questions nobody should ask - but someone did.

It is certainly among the largest. 14.6 trillion is roughly twice the current US national debt in dollars, or about 2,000 times the world population. As a number of nanograms, it represents just 14.6 kilograms, the weight of a modest dog. Scale is everything in measurement.
No instrument spans this range. Engineering scales measure kilograms and above; analytical balances measure micrograms and below. The thirteen-order-of-magnitude gap between slugs and nanograms exceeds the dynamic range of any single measuring device ever built.
They would have nothing in common. The slug would talk about accelerating cars and deflecting bridges. The nanogram would talk about detecting trace pollutants and testing blood samples. They share a mathematical relationship (14.6 trillion to one) but not a single practical application. Their conversation would be brief and awkward.
