One Vogue (Russian: «Один вог») is a short story by Viktor Pelevin, published in 2003.
[4] The story is structured as an argument about the comparative characteristics of three female visitors to a restaurant in the center of Moscow, who happened to cross paths in the women's restroom room.
[4] As a physical phenomenon, futility is thought by Pelevin to be measurable, and the author introduces a special quantitative qualifier "vogue".
The principle of nomination of this qualifier refers the reader of the story to the process of naming the units of measurement in physics, a significant part of which are named after the scientists-physicists: Ohm - (Georges Ohm), Ampere - (Andre Amper), Newton - (Isaac Newton), Hertz - (Henry Hertz), Volt - (Alessandro Volta), etc.
[5][6] The unit of electric charge mentioned in the epigraph is named after the French physicist Charles Coulomb.
