    That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.

    For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

    Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of “c”?

    Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of “c”.

      How fast you are going as percent of c

        That’s a lot of leading zeroes. Or you have a really awesome motorcycle with rocket engines.

          It’s just easiest, it’s capped at c and 0 so all meters just need to go to 100… If you don’t want exact measurements you can always normalize the value

    Call me crazy but having to divide 60,000 by my speed so I can tell my mom I’ll be there in “3,600 seconds” is really annoying 😆

      US miles, UK miles or nautic miles? Imperial units are always crap (feet/s ?)

        feet/s is a gooner unit. Change my mind

          The NASA crashed 2 Mars probes, proving that imperial units are crap.

    Hotter take: pronounce it KILL-o-meters and not kill-AH-meters.

      Idk why my brain is the way it is, but I can’t say “KILL-o-meters”, it always comes out as “key-LO-meters”

      The only metric time unit is seconds so km/h isn’t metric (or even powers of 10)

    m/s is the best, everyone know aprox. what is an meter and an second to know the velocity, but not so easy with km and a hour… 50km/h seems slow, but not so 13 m/s.
