Created page with "=Energy/units= ''Physicists'' measure energy in ''joules'', because a joule is based entirely on metric units {{x|kg * m<sup>2</sup> / s<sup>2</sup>}}. But a joule is a bit too small for the kinds of calculations we do on this wiki. Here are some other energy units for comparison: {|class="wikitable" !Unit !Joules !Note |- |watt second |1 |Electrical ''power'' is often measured in ''watts''. A watt is the same as ''1 joule per second''. |- |calorie (lowercase) |4 |..."
