20:12:58 <deltab> http://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/siscale.htm
20:14:45 <clsn> hmm, an electron as 1 pm while a proton is 1 fm?  Can we even speak sensibly about the size of an electron?  Cuz that sounds awfully skewed.

20:22:00 <clsn> Hmm.  How can http://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/si.htm list the speed of light as a "base unit" of SI?  It's a physical constant, but it isn't a base unit.  And I'm not sure I agree with all its pronunciations of the prefixes.
20:22:17 <clsn> (the only time I've ever heard giga- pronounced as jigga- was in Back to the Future)
20:25:19 <clsn> "The gram must never be used to indicate weight, force, or pressure." Look, gram-force and kilogram-force as units have been around for a long long time.  Just make sure you know which you're talking about.
20:26:46 <clsn> Bah.  Lotta pedantry there.  And I should know, being annoyingly pedantic myself.

21:16:56 <deltab> where does it 'list the speed of light as a "base unit" of SI'?
21:21:51 <deltab> ah, I see it
21:22:14 <deltab> radian and steradian shouldn't be there either: they're supplementary
21:23:08 <deltab> and it's missing mol
21:47:42 <clsn> They're supplementary, but at least they're not derived.
21:48:36 <clsn> mol is a stupid base unit.  It's basically a glorified conversion factor between emu and grams.  Basic unit of amount of substance is ONE elementary unit, for crying out loud.  And then you can use peta-s of those or whatever.

21:49:27 cre8radix has quit (Quit: cre8radix)
21:49:55 <clsn> Does it pass it on the left or the right?  And does it depend on the country?  Or on whether the police are watching?
21:50:05 <clsn> (and in other news, wtf do you mean by that anyway?)
21:50:16 <sbp> if it's a wave it can pass on both sides
21:50:42 <sbp> alternative joke:
21:50:43 <clsn> Good point.
21:50:47 <sbp> the police would just wave it past
21:50:53 <clsn> Ugh.
21:50:58 <sbp> your choice
21:51:09 <clsn> Or the quantum way, do both.
21:51:16 <sbp> ENOUGH NOW
