Geek Holiday

[rathess]

Today is the (unofficial) Chemistry holiday " Mole Day". It started at 6:02am and ends at 6:02pm. As you may or may not recall, a Mole is the amount of sustance that contains as many particles of that sustance (atoms or molecules mind you) as 12g of carbon-12. That number of molecules is defined as the Avogadro constant, which is approximately 6.02 times 10 to the 23... thus you see why the holiday is today at those times.

Yay! I love finding new geek holidays. :)
