[edit] No Such Thing as "Teradynes per second"

There is no such thing as "teradynes per second". According to the article 'one dyne is the force that accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second', so one dyne per second would be 'the force that accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second per second. That is nonsense. m/s is a measure of speed, m/s/s is a measure of acceleration, m/s/s/s would be an attempt to measure acceleration per second, when it is already measured per second. "Teradynes per second" belongs to the same family as "Watts per hour" or power in "gigajoules".--Indefatigable 01:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
