A quadrillion is very real, but it's not a "thousand billion". It's 10^15, and a billion is 10^9. Even if you allow for the increasingly archaic "long scale", a quadrillion is 10^24 and a billion is 10^12. In neither scale is it a thousand billion.

I mostly blame lack of sleep and misreading the wikipedia page when I wrote that.
