Joke claims Avogadro's number is 14
Original: ' Avogadro's number is 14. # rugby # chemistry # physics
A social media post is asserting that Avogadro's number, the chemistry constant roughly equal to 6.022 x 10^23, is actually 14. The claim mixes in unrelated rugby and physics hashtags, suggesting it is a joke or bait rather than a serious assertion. It has drawn small but real engagement from users amused or bemused by the deliberate error.
Why now: People are responding to a deliberately wrong science claim posted as a joke.
