so i know which one i prefer

*claps*

people should be able to understand both sets of measurements and be able to convert between the two

we shouldnt have to

though it's inevitable metric will be the most common, increasingly so, over time

because its a better system

for one it is a system and not a bunch of shit randomly tied together

The meter is based on a lie of the constant 'c'

Welp... all I can tell you is that I'll fight it until my dying day, and it was my main reason for voting leave

actually, the meter and the kilogram were both shit randomly tied together

they were later standardised in terms of static units, like the speed of light, and the atomic weight of carbon

more history bollocks

Imperial is more useful from a engineering point of view

how?

metric will be standard for anythign remotely science based

imperial will be limited to nonsense like height, weight

our cars should be in km/h

The unified theory

and our signs in km

people are used to mph, and our signs are in miles

C will be shown to be not constant

yeah so stop teaching them wrong

just leave it alone, it's fine

And thus the meter will be irrelevant

c isnt constant, its affected by density like everything else

but in small enough degrees

that we jsut say its a constant

C is the measurement in a vacuum

so you're saying it is a constant

No

what are you on

light is inanimate it doesn't brake

That we are mistaken

about?

That the speed of light has been constant and will remain constant throughout history

that makes less sense than what i thought you were going to say

i was thinking cos space is expanding so is spacetime and this will affect c

Possibly

speed of light is, on average constant, and nothing is in science coming up to destroy that

well its affected by density like everything else so its slower in atmosphere

sort-of, ish
