metric system


♥‿♥

im that fine line of genius and insanity with a nanometer of true love in there somewhere, so yea the truth even hurts me...

The nanometer is the smallest none measurement known to the human race, which is 10^-9. (1 billionth of a meter). You can go to the yoctometer, which is 10^-24 meters. However, because of the way that the metric system works, you can just keep going like that, adding zeroes to the end, and sticking on a new prefix, and just keep getting smaller and smaller. The nanometer is referenced in the measurement of the atom, for a visual

The metric system
In some cases when used to describe data transfer rates bits/bytes are calculated as in the metric system as follows:

1 MB = 1,000,000 bits/bytes
1 kb = 1,000 bits/bytes
1 bit/byte

The period (.) is used as decimal separator.

This law makes me crazy -____-

I'm thinking of starting a petition to rename AMERICAN FOOTBALL to a more appropriate name of HANDEGG. This will cause less confusion between the real football that is played with feet and a throwing football where it is played mostly with hands. We can also add the metric system to the petition.

Finally, @ age 31 I fully understand the metric system. Cant believe i ever thought it would b complicated.It makes SO much sense! Makes me wonder why the US had to use something different when there was something so perfect already in existence. I mean really, I like it. Metric it is! I suppose I'll have to move to the British Isles or Iceland now :) plus I weigh a lot less in kilos lol!
