One word and/or an imagery of a single thing can't vary that much?

turns out a board dedicated to science and math populated by faggots with too much time on their hands can't even answer a simple question

The average adult brain is about 20 watt when active. If a thought is, say, 0.5 seconds long and, say, 10% of brain is involved in it, 1 thought is about 1 joule.

When trying to convert 1 joule to 1 gram, I'm presented with 1 GF[gram force]. Can someone summarize this and how can I quantify it back to a simple gram? Is it possible?

Assume the time it takes for a wave to finish traversing a single neuron of average plasticity to be one second.

We would have a small electrical input go through it.

Assuming that it takes approximately 1000 neurons to hold the information of a single "word" we would have a neuron with its 70 millivolts by one thousand for the timespace of roughly one second.

An impressive 70 watts or 16.72 calories (small c) per second to maintain a word inside a 10mm^3 piece of grey matter that will then send it elsewhere in long or short term memory at some point.

an adult human brain runs on like 40 watts
so each second your brain consumes 40 joules
if you think n thoughts per second those n thoughts cost 40 joules
I can think maybe one or two thoughts per second (135 IQ brainlet)
In a given minute I might think 90 thoughts, at a cost of 2400 joules
So I'm averaging around 27J/thought
