Single-electron transistors can sense, well, single electrons.

PMTs can be good enough to detect single photon events.

Hmmm... I have a $35 digital multimeter that can measure exactly 0
volts!


No, it can't. It can display zero, even with some voltage at the
input. The issues is the resolution of the meter. Even with the
probes shorted, you will have some Johnson noise which is generated
by the resistors in the input circuitry, if the meter is above
absolute zero degrees. That voltage is too low to be displayed, but
it is still there.
Whoosh!

Whoosh! all you want, but some of us have worked in Metrology labs,
and other very critical applications where a comment like his isn't a
joke, rather its grounds for dismissal.

And to think you have a signature that reads:
"You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!"
It was an excellent reply to one of GreenXenon's idiotic trolling threads.
It's quite sad if you didn't find that funny.

Quite sad. But that's no surprise for Terrell.

Personally my question is what is the smallest physically-possible
intelligence that still allows a human to be alive?

Call me GreenXerox...



There are two "smallest physically-possible" organs showing up prominently
in this thread.

Whatever. The idiot spreads enough stupidity for a dozen newsgroups,
so there is no need to add to it. There is a wide gap between funny,
and ignorance. Laugh yourself sick, if you can't see the difference.

I guess that means that you're the dickhead. Who is the other, and what
organ is he? Bwuahahahah!
