how in the fuck do...
where in the fuck...
OMFG.
and you are literally the best and brightest the right has to offer.
i guess the john birch society does not teach math.

10 to the first is ten times itself (10) which makes 100
ten to the second is 10 times itself, then times itself again which makes NOT 200, but 1000
ten followed by an exponent (X) is 10 then you add X number of zeroes.
i guess the schools really do suck these days.

fuck you im high, i meant 1000, not two hundred.

NO.
NO!
you can even type "ten to the first" and google will tell you the answer. google is there for you.
no, that's ten cubed, or 10 to the third, or 10^3.

sigh.
if the forum supported superscript this would be so much less bothersome
entering the formula as cited in the report (four times ten to the 15th power) in my calculator website resulted in the exact same result i showed in my images before.

700 written in scientific notation or exponents: 7x10^2
10(10)100
7x100

i plugged in "4 x 10^15" to your web calculator.
i can't believe you are this stupid, you have to be lying to try to maintain your bullshit claim now.
push the 4 button, then the multiplication button, then the E (xponents) button then push the 1 button and then the 5 button then push the = button.

The way I saw it, Kynes was probably misreading an engineering notation of the tonnage.
It is normally written 1.23E+2, not 0.123x10E+2 (that's redundant since E is already a representative of 10).
I can see how that might be possible, though. When one is reading from multiple sources, but different notation is used, e.g. 1E+9 = 1x10^9, it can easily become muddled in one's mind. It happens to me at least once in any lab when I have to read different meters at different resolutions, etc. Unless one is working in ranges where there's no need to start changing scales, doing sweeps from nano to kilo (or even Mega) can involve a lot of button pushing.
EDIT: functionally, you are both correct, but style-wise, this is not a time to wear a fedora.
Now...how about this 15 micron thing?

kynes, scroll down the page and do the "try it yourself" part.
please, i have only staked two plants and can not concentrate with so much fail going on.

NO.
your own citation says "4 x 10^15" (minus the "^", which is what we use in the math world to represent an exponent), so that is what i type in.
that is what you should type in too.
