This is your brain on power

[Besoeker]

Please reconsider. The rate of change of wattage is also a rate.

Yes, but that is not what the original topic is about.
It's average power for the brain.

But rate of change of power is something that almost never comes up, and it's a lame attempt to find a gnat's penis worth of redeeming value in an earlier post that was actually just a mistake.

I would.t have quite put it that way............

Since when has that made any difference to us?

So if an answer given to the OP is on its face incorrect, it is not on topic to discuss why that response is incorrect?

That's what I did, GD.

Except that you took it one step farther and said, effectively, that the rate of change of a rate could not exist.

Actually, I didn't. Acceleration due earth's gravitational field is 9.81m/sec/sec. At the earth's surface I should add. That's an obvious example.
But, in the context of the OP, it is about the power used by the human brain. Not the rate at which that changes.

Except that I have been admonished so many times for not addressing the OP.

A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore.
M: What?!
A: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.

Personal note: xkcd is well worth reading. Highly recommended.

is there a lot of wattage here?

power? well, that is work done over time.....

The unit of power is the Watt (W), which is equal to a Joule per second (J/s)

heres my 6 watts worth: one Jules for six seconds:

Six Watts for six seconds would be 36 Joules.

I agree with your calculator...............

 

[LarryFine]

I wonder what the aggregate power consumption has been throughout this thread?

I don't know about the total, but I'd guess probably at much lower rate than 20 watts... :lol:

one watt for six seconds..... :slaphead:

i think it's time to leave this thread....
