>2.43×10^-15 electrons
I believe TFA reads 2.43×10^-15 kg, not electrons. Unless SSDs are creating new and exciting physics, one can't have less than one electron, as it's an elementary particle.

Well you could have a virtual particle whose mass could be time-averaged.
Neutrinos weight far less than electrons (but while NAND flash involves super weird physics it's not that weird)
They do weigh far less, but a quantity of "10^-15 electrons" is still impossible.
10^–15 is not a negative number, just a small one. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=10%5E-15+
And it is less than one?
I think my favorite part of that comment is "documenting" that 10^(-15) is not negative by appealing to Wolfram Alpha.
your user name is found at the 4,922,096,564th digit of Pi
Yes, you're correct. Now ask yourself if "one quadrillionth of an electron" is a quantity that's possible to have.
Good thing he didn't say that
