minus-squarepHr34kY@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 年前It doesn’t explicitly say it, but that redefines the second to be 1/100,000th of a day. Doing that would break everything. That said, I wish speed limits were in m/s. It makes more sense to me.
minus-squareUltraviolet@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-21 年前Miles or kilometers per hour makes sense in the context of travel, you can very easily estimate how long it’s going to take to get somewhere.
minus-squarecalcopiritus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前Ironically, km/h is better for estimation because hours are 3600 seconds. If an hour were 1000 seconds or whatever, it would barely take more effort to calculate with m/s
minus-squarepHr34kY@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 年前I was thinking about estimating stopping distances and reaction times. The number of metres you cover every second becomes important then.
minus-squarejoel_feila@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前yeah, there was a point in time when we could have. Just now our standards are to ingrained
