About these units
Stone (st)
The stone equals 14 pounds, or approximately 6.35029 kilograms, and is commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for expressing human body weight. It has deep traditional roots, originating from stones used as counterweights in early commerce. Although largely replaced by metric units in most applications, the stone remains emotionally and culturally significant for personal weight expression in the UK. Many people find it more intuitive and relatable than kilograms due to long-standing social habits. The stone's endurance highlights how measurement systems reflect cultural identity as much as mathematical convenience. It is one of the few units still commonly used in conversation but not in scientific or industrial contexts.
Attogram (ag)
An attogram is 10⁻¹⁸ grams, an incredibly small mass used only in advanced scientific settings. At this scale, we are dealing with masses comparable to large molecules, viruses, or clusters of atoms. Modern techniques such as atomic force microscopy, mass spectrometry, and nanoscale resonators allow detection of attogram-level changes. Researchers studying chemical reactions, nanotechnology, and molecular biology may use attograms when describing ultra-fine mass differences. The attogram is an example of scientific progress: a unit unnecessary in the past, but now essential for understanding the smallest measurable interactions in nature.
