About these units
Lepton (Biblical Roman) (lepton)
The lepton, one of the smallest denominations used in Judea under Roman rule, weighed roughly 0.1–0.2 grams. It is best known from the biblical story of the Widow's Mite, representing humility and sacrificial giving. As both a coin and a mass, the lepton represents the minimal economic unit of the ancient Near East.
Proton Mass (mₕ (p))
The proton mass, approximately 1.67262192369 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms, is central to chemistry, nuclear physics, and cosmology. Protons, along with neutrons, form the nuclei of atoms and therefore compose most of the mass of ordinary matter. The proton mass arises from the strong nuclear force and the dynamics of quarks and gluons within quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Interestingly, most of the proton's mass is not from its constituent quarks but from the energy stored in the strong force. Understanding the proton mass helps scientists explore nuclear stability, binding energies, and stellar nucleosynthesis—the processes that form elements inside stars.
