    3:23 this is where the misconception occurs, In Digital Electronics, a byte is made of 8 bits. You assumed that those bits are 11111111 which means approx 5volts *8 and then multiplied the mass of an electron.

    But every byte is different in the sense that there can be a '0' at any one of the 8 positions giving a byte a number of different weights which went unaccounted for so the number you mentioned (0.2 millionths of an ounce) is actually the MAXIMUM THEORETICAL VALUE.
