About these units
Mina (Biblical Hebrew) (mina)
A mina was a mid-sized Hebrew weight unit, commonly approximated as 560–600 grams, though it varied historically. It served as the intermediary unit between the shekel and the talent: 1 talent = 60 minas 1 mina = 50 shekels Minas were used in both commercial trade and temple accounting. They appear in ancient Near Eastern texts describing wages, penalties, and allocations of precious materials. Because of their role in administrative and religious contexts, the mina highlights the bureaucratic sophistication of ancient Israel and surrounding cultures.
Muon Mass (mᵤ)
The muon is a heavier cousin of the electron, with a mass of about 1.8835316 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms, roughly 207 times more massive than the electron. Because the muon behaves like an electron but with much greater mass, it offers unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics. Muonic atoms—where a muon replaces an electron—allow extremely precise measurements of nuclear size due to the muon's tighter orbit. Muons are also produced naturally in Earth's atmosphere from cosmic rays and are widely studied in particle accelerators. Research into muon behavior has led to major discoveries, and the muon mass continues to attract interest in tests of physics beyond the Standard Model.
