minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish111•1 year agoEasy. Take a wire that is exactly 1 meter long. Form a circle from the wire. The circumference of that circle is 1 meter.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish24•1 year ago “exactly” uh huh. and how are you measuring that?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•1 year agoYou don’t need to, it’s defined. (Lol). If you take a circle with a circumference of 1, then its circumference will be 1… I think I might have lost some braincells reading this.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoHe obviously meant to say how do you measure that it’s exactly 1m, even when still in a straight line. Exactly being the key word here.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoBut is the circumference of the outer circle or inner circle 1m? The wire has a nonzero width.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish30•1 year agoNow the engineers and/or scientists are crying
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•1 year agoI don’t have to measure it. I stick under glass and define it as the standard which all other measurements are derived from.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoExactly. Use a laser measure to cut a plank, then use that for reference!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•1 year agoI will be measuring it in meters. One. There you go.

Ok, you got another source of water - physicists.
Laser Measure.
