About these units
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.
Talent (Biblical Hebrew) (talent (H))
The Hebrew talent was a very large mass unit, typically estimated around 34–36 kilograms, though exact values varied by period and region. It represented an enormous economic value—equivalent to years of wages for a common laborer—and was primarily used for measuring gold and silver in royal and temple contexts. Talents appear frequently in Biblical texts, often symbolizing wealth, tribute, or divine offerings. Their usage suggests a sophisticated economic system capable of handling large-scale trade and taxation. Because talents were too heavy for ordinary transactions, they were divided into 60 minas, which were further subdivided into shekels. Modern biblical scholars rely heavily on talent estimates to translate ancient economic references into contemporary terms.
