Is that so? Then what about the metric constant for gravitational acceleration? Kind of blows a huge hole in your theory huh?
What an astonishingly dumb question! You don't understand what doc30 is talking about at all.... BTW, the strength of the SI are not (only) the basic units, but the derived ones...
Are you talking about g = 9.8 m/s2? Or G = 6.67 x 10-11Nm2/kg2? If the former, 'g' is NOT constant. 'G' appears to be constant, but some scientists question that.
These two are not base units in SI. Gravitational acceleration is just an experimental measurement. The gravitational constant, G, is also determined by experiment. Obviously not all measurements are going to be exact multiples of 10.
The base units in SI are meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela. All other units are derived units. Acceleration, for example, is a derived unit.
LOL! I assume you mean 9.8 m/s^2. It's a decimal number and uses SI decimal based units. Are you so slow that you think all SI quantities and constants are whole multiples of 10? The value is expressed in decimal numbers. Do you honestly beleive it would be better written as fractional sums of 1/2^n? Like 9 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/512.....? Or do you believe the only acceptable number system should be represented by whole multiples of physical constants? Either way, you are going to have one piss-poor, clunky number system to use. You can go ahead and use it while the rest of us stick to something that helps minimize confusion.
