within science, the chemist measures the calorie, the electrical engineer measures the watt, others jules, others BTU.... nothing is all encompassing
typing errors not fixed
[17:43] nth's friend: exactly
[17:43] NthFinity: and each of those makes sence within thier own field
[17:43] NthFinity: but to convert them, they aren't even close to similar
[17:43] NthFinity: even with distance
[17:44] nth's friend: i agree
[17:44] NthFinity: a KM makes no variance when measuring AU's, light years etc.
[17:44] nth's friend: yup
[17:44] NthFinity: ultimately
[17:44] NthFinity: each measuring has it's on features
[17:44] nth's friend: in reality i prefer using metric only cause i can picture the size in my head.. but even that its still arbitrary
[17:44] nth's friend: not metric
[17:44] nth's friend: imperial I mean
[17:44] nth's friend: lol
[17:44] nth's friend: i can picture an inch
[17:44] NthFinity: metric came partially out of the need to make phisical science make sence... 1 gm of water is 1 ml requires one calorie to heat it one degree.... etc.
[17:45] nth's friend: 75 degrees
[17:45] NthFinity: oh
[17:45] NthFinity: yeah
[17:45] NthFinity: F is way more sen e
[17:45] NthFinity:
[17:45] NthFinity: but not at all in a scientific means
[17:45] NthFinity: lol
[17:45] NthFinity: but in human comfrot
[17:45] nth's friend: Celcius makes no sense in science either
[17:46] nth's friend: for that you need Kelvin
[17:46] nth's friend: which
[17:46] nth's friend: makes no sense at all to a layman
[17:52] NthFinity: no
[17:52] NthFinity: it does make sence
[17:52] NthFinity: 0 C = STP freezing
[17:52] NthFinity: 100 = boililng STP
[17:52] NthFinity: that makes sence
[17:52] NthFinity: but humans live below 0, and nowhere near 100
[17:52] nth's friend: thats celcius
[17:53] nth's friend: kelvin starts at absolute 0
[17:53] NthFinity: duh
[17:53] nth's friend: I couldnt tell you what room temperature is anymore
[17:53] nth's friend: that makes no sense to a human
[17:53] NthFinity: high 2q0's to mid 30's for hot
[17:53] NthFinity: right
[17:53] NthFinity: the varience in temp within 1 deg. F is way less then in C
[17:53] NthFinity: so relaly, F is more accurate
[17:53] NthFinity: for us
[17:54] nth's friend: yeah.. true
[17:54] nth's friend: i wasnt saying celcius doesnt make sense
[17:54] nth's friend: though.. fahrenheit makes more based on what I was raised in
[17:54] nth's friend: kelvin numbers are meaningless to most humans
[17:54] NthFinity: well
[17:54] NthFinity: in radio astronomy
[17:55] NthFinity: 300 K is measurable
[17:55] nth's friend: the melting point of ice.. aka 0 in celcius and 32 in fahrenheit
[17:55] NthFinity: a lot
[17:55] nth's friend: is freaking 273.15 degrees
[17:55] nth's friend: i didnt say it wasnt measurable
[17:55] nth's friend: i just said it makes no sense to a non scientific person
[17:55] nth's friend: if I told you it was 290 degrees K outside youd look at me with a funny look on your face
[17:56] NthFinity: no
[17:56] NthFinity: most people would tho
[17:56] NthFinity:
[17:57] nth's friend: so without conversion factor
[17:57] nth's friend: what temperature is 290
[17:57] nth's friend: lol
[17:57] nth's friend: and thanks for proving my point by the way
