In a letter to CERN Courier in 2000, physicist Dave Jackson from Berkeley attributed the femto prefix to Leon Rosenfeld (1904-1974): "It was Leon Rosenfeld in Copenhagen who got femto put on. Femten is the number fifteen in Danish." Ceinturion (talk) 07:17, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Capitalisation of 'k' kilo

edit

Interesting to note that all positive integers should be denoted as capitals, hence clarifying the range. Where as the negative integer scale should all in lower case. Thus kilo should really be denoted as 'K' instead of 'k', as seen in most computer terminology when we refer to kilobytes (KB) instead of (kB) 16/5/2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.127.210 (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

But "K" is already used as the symbol for kelvin. Captain Quirk (talk) 09:54, 12 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
