Is that Avogadro's constant?
Yes, it's the avocado man himself in the picture.
The Man, the Myth, the Mole
I wish I had an avocado.
Can someone help a pleb like me know the guy and the number reference? Edit: thanks guys!, I’ll study him :-)
It's Avogadro's constant. The number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constantThree Twentysix explains it brilliantly
I love this image, and this was one of my favorite numbers in science too. Sometimes I think it’s more difficult to imagine how insanely small the atomic scale is than how insanely large the cosmic scale is.
Either people didn’t know how to draw back then, or Avogado was monstrously ugly…
This style of drawing wasn't about making someone look pretty or ugly it was about making an accurate portrait, so he likely looked very similar.
He looks like a mole..
I googled "was Avogadro ugly" and found this picture posted on r/funny ten years ago. But also quite a few people seem to agree that he was indeed quite ugly.
Maybe I look like him.. 😥

Hey, that number is off by 2.14076 * 10^21
6.02 x 10^-23. It's supposed a tiny number not a huge number.
No? It's the number of particles per mol, a huge number.
