Omega



The ohm is the electric resistance between two points of a conductor....

Omega (Ω) baryons are baryons containing neither up nor down quarks of isospin I = 0.

In modern usage Om means the Word, the “parnava,” the eternal. Various accounts are given of its origin; one that it is the term of assent used by the gods, and probably an old contracted form of the Sanskirt word "evam" meaning "thus."

I'm thinking of getting this as a tattoo.

I can see you as the standard unit of resistance.

Omega (small) is also the symbol for a natural frequency (in radians/sec).
