minus-square@funkless_ecklinkEnglish16•2 months ago “exactly” uh huh. and how are you measuring that?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish29•2 months agoNow the engineers and/or scientists are crying
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•2 months agoScientists maybe, engineering is all about calling things close enough.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish17•2 months 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]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months 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•2 months agoBut is the circumference of the outer circle or inner circle 1m? The wire has a nonzero width.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•2 months 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]linkfedilinkEnglish11•2 months agoI will be measuring it in meters. One. There you go.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agoExactly. Use a laser measure to cut a plank, then use that for reference!

Ok, you got another source of water - physicists.
Plancks
