You’re conflating UI and definitions.
Angular velocity can be given in rad/s. No one will bat an eye if you do that. It’s even recommended. But it’s not a unit in the same sense than the other ones.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 1 week ago:
It’s not undefined. You cannot take the exponential of anything with dimensions. That also applied to logs and trigonometric functions. Ergo, angles must be unitless.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 1 week ago:
You disagree that a ratio is unitless? What’s the cos of a unit?
- Comment on Shut up science!! 1 week ago:
No one stops you from putting radians and steradians in your units. But it’s unitless by definition.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 1 week ago:
Proven*
Samples sizes are always small, confounding variables poorly controlled and control groups often contaminated.
Long term effect are also poorly studied.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 1 week ago:
Except it’s not a unit, it’s a unitless ratio. You’d have one for every number of dimension. The mol is arguably the extra one.

How expensive is it per MWh compared with coal if you account for removing the CO2 from the atmosphere?

It is if you have a nuclear power plant
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 months ago:
That definition exists because if you want to include Pluto and be consistent you have to include dozens of other bodies.

Yeah, just started using W11 for work and it’s insane how often I need to wait for character to buffer in after I typed something.
I shouldn’t be faster than my computer in this day and age, and yet here we are.
