RE: In science news : "Kilogram, Ampere, Kelvin and Mole will be redefined"
That's great news! Finally moving to some decent and universal references... Now to persuade the Americans to change to the superior system!
Hahaha, well, when it comes to scientists and educational institutions, Americans are using the SI system too. They have to :)
Not always, and this may lead to some crash of super expensive space device sent to Mars... (one of the component was using the SI and another one the US system :p)
I am sure you can google this (I can't as in China at the moment :p )
I will most definitely google that :D I am curious was it because of a human error and SI was mandatory or was SI really not mandatory in which case the project was bound to fail from the beginning but that seems really unbelievable that no one checked what they were doing. Googling it is...
Have a great time in China, hope you will return to "open" internet soon ;)
I will go back to the open world on Sunday (Japan :p).
Ha ha, you beat me to this answer!
I know, but I can't resist kicking the horse!
