About these units
Neutron Mass (mₙ)
The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, with a mass of 1.67492749804 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms. This subtle difference has profound implications: it allows neutrons to undergo beta decay outside the nucleus, transforming into protons, electrons, and antineutrinos. Neutrons play a crucial role in nuclear reactions, especially in reactors and stars. Their ability to penetrate atomic nuclei (due to lack of electric charge) makes them highly effective in initiating fission or fusion processes. The neutron mass helps determine nuclear binding energy and isotopic stability, shaping the entire periodic table.
Assarion (Biblical Roman) (assarion)
The assarion, worth 1/16 of a denarius and weighing roughly 0.25 grams, was one of the smallest Roman coins. It appears in biblical writings to illustrate humility or trivial monetary values ("Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion?"), giving cultural insight into economic metaphors of the time. As a weight, the assarion shows how finely Roman society subdivided monetary units for everyday commerce.
