Big Bang Gravitational Waves

Evidence that the universe rapidly expanded in its first few nanoseconds has been found by an instrument in Antarctica: Gravitational waves, which have long eluded astronomers, were spotted, supporting this cosmic inflation model.

Why do these pop-science videos always assume that "trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth..." could possibly mean something to anybody? It's a mixture of disorienting repetition and horrible ambiguities in language (is it an actual trillion, or a billion that some people call a trillion and assume everybody else is american?). It isn't even impressive, it's just meaningless. Why not just use either a natural comparison, or exponential notation?

#4, it doesn't matter if it means anything, it's the hard facts.

Why complain that some science is hard for some to grasp? Then let them get educated first.

Suggesting that they should use some natural comparison would make it even more pop-science, more ground down to the masses and away from real science.
Also I doubt exponential notation, logarithm would help in this case either.
