At work we have a scale sensitive to the 1/10,000 of a gram. 4 decimal digits. It's so sensitive it needs to be encased in a box so tiny connection currents don't make it go frantic! Even in the box the number changes a lot. 15 0s is nutty.

Mine can tell if I'm sitting next to it's desk or not. I've come to the conclusion it's the deformation of the ground the desk is sitting on.

It's really a silly amount of precision for what I use it for. But It's so fun to lock g on .0000, even if only for a few seconds. Anyone who has a target of a specific amount of 0s can do it themselves. After the first 2 shits pretty random.

And a hit of acid would show something between 0.0000 and 0.0002 on the scale.
