Anyone wanna guess what a Flop is? Let alone enough flops to necessitate TeraFlops???

[Urahara]

A unit of computing power equal to 1000 (or 1024) gigaflops (wiki)

Flop being Floating Point Operations per Seconfd - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/floating_point

Gigal flop being one billion.

So lets say A LOT of calculations per second lol

That's a whole lot of Flopping!
