In another thread, a poster asserted that the ratio of two quantities was exactly
1 : 22,539,340,290,692,258,087,863,249
He even wrote it out " That's 22 septillion 539 sextillion 340 quintillion 290 quadrillion 692 trillion 258 billion 87 million 863 thousand 249." [I want to leave aside exactly what was being measured - for purposes of this thread assume that something supernatural or even metanatural was being measured.]
In any case, the number made me wonder how often scientists or engineers measure something to 25 significant digits?
