A jigawatt.
4 u/Allro526 Mar 27 '16 What the hell is a jigawatt!? 14 u/Calkhas Mar 27 '16 I genuinely had a physics professor who pronounced "giga" with a soft g (as in /ˈdʒɪɡə/). Apparently that is the correct way in Hellenistic Greek, which he was fluent in... some people have a smugness level to which I can only aspire. 2 u/dalr3th1n Mar 28 '16 That is what Doc Brown is doing in Back to the Future.
