I’m so glad we use a system based on Big Clive from Camden’s shoe size on a gouty Tuesday in 1754 rather than a measure utterly unrelated to my life, like the speed of the thing I use to see literally everything I interact with.
Damn it must be so cool to use light and naturally understand its speed over distances similar to parts of your anatomy.
I struggle to comprehend the speed of light as a measure of distance over anything less than about 300 miles. You must just be built different.
Honestly I struggle to think of light traveling any distance shorter than from the sun to here, which I know is like 5 mins. I couldn’t possibly begin to tell you how far it travels in a second, or a tenth of a second, or whatever.
A second is around the equator about seven and a half times. A tenth of a second is three quarters of the equator. The moon is about one and a quarter seconds away from earth, you know, if you ever wanna use it for something.
E: this is all half remembered from radio operation and radio astronomy. I could be wrong.
Do you regularly experience time dilation? If not, then I suspect that the average size of a person’s foot is more intuitive to you than the speed of light.
are you doing an elaborate bit
No.
cringe.
okay fascist
fascism is when metric system.
