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.
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.
