Petition to make "Hella" the prefix for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Carl sez, “A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion).

For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.’

It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.”
