As Wikipedia states:
Yotta is the largest unit prefix in the International System of Units (SI) denoting a factor of 1024 or 1000000000000000000000000. It has the unit symbol Y.
The prefix name is derived from the Greek ὀκτώ (októ), meaning eight, because it is equal to 10008. It was added to the SI in 1991. [1]
I started this blog because of my interest in challenges of immense scale and designing and implementing solutions to such challenges. For example:
- How do Governments devise solid policies to address a problem impacting tens to hundreds of millions to billions of people?
- How do non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profits take solutions that might work within small populations and scale them to address much larger populations?
- How do businesses that are growing (either organically or inorganically) scale everything they do successfully to meet the demands of growth?
...and so on.
I consider these challenges ones of scaling. As the world grows, the challenges of scaling get more pronounced. Solving real-life problems of scaling excites me. Hence, the use of the term Yotta Point to denote a place where issues tied to scale will be discussed.
