1.21 GIGAWATTS?!?!?!?! GREAT SCOTT!
NEEDS MOAR GIGAWATS!
Great Scott!! I am watching Back to the Future Part 2 right now, at this very moment, and I come to graphjam and see this. Too weird…
It’s alright. In our time, I’m sure we can buy Plutonium in any drugstore in America.
>I thought it was ‘jigawatts’
or “jigowatts”

THIS IS HEAVY.
its “Jigawatts” not “Gigawatts”
Gigawatts may be pronounced with either a hard (/g/), or a soft (/ʤ/) ‘G’ sound. Doc Brown opted for the latter, soft g. They are the same unit of measurement: an even billion watts.
This is genius.
You need one of those squiggly lines that denotes a jump in the scale (yes, that’s the technical term
). Otherwise, not to scale.
It’s called a “break”… Lol squiggly line…
