If an apple is interpreted as a large molecule, indeed, SI has another crazy unit for the number. ;-) user: I mean a choice of the coefficient that everyone without any cultural baggage would consider superior. Like counting apples as 1,2,3. This is very different from 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters because others may equally well prefer 1 feet, 2 feet, 3 feet which is something else. | |
