The point that even some Mensa people just seem to have a mental
block about, with regards to physics is this.

Forget the values for one minute.

ok, we'll use seconds instead then....carry on...

Let x represent Avagrados number.

You've been corrected at least twice and still get it wrong, it is
AVOGADRO - unless you have just made up a new constant of course.

Let m represent a unit of length.

No, I do not mean a meter. Why should I choose a meter as my unit
of length?

errr, maybe because it's the unit of length used by engineers and physicists

Because in France, is this bar that says meter on it?

wrong

Well what fundamental property of nature, that is
exactly relative to this bar of yours, caused you to choose
such length?

speed of light and time 1m = length of the path traveled by light in a
vacuum in the time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Would it not be better then, to choose a unit of length,
which is in accordane with some fundamental measurement,
that is unchanging and more accurate?

the m is a fundamental unit of measurement

Say the radius of the Hydrogen Atom at a certain temperature
- in its rest state for instance.

let me see YOU measure it. Doesn't sound too accurate to me, but go on,
convince me.

Would that not be a more accurate measuring stick, than
such an awkward inaccurate item, such as a bar kept in
a glass case in some building in France?

no, because you're wrong


And if we were to say that the diameter or radius of the
Hydrogen atom, was equal to one Motam. (For instance)

Then could we not merely say that for each atom in the
periodic table, there would exist a predictable value
that has a direct relation to this Motam?

and this achieves what exactly?

Can you imagine how much hastle changing a fundamental unit would cause?
Every book of tables would need to be amended, every physical contant would
need to be amended, every physics book and paper would need to be amended,
every engineering book would need to be amended. And for what? Even with TWO
systems of measurement NASA still can't tell the difference between feet and
metres. Now you want a third set of untis.

And further if we went ahead and accurately measured all
known qualities of the Hydrogen atom, and created a new
set of meauring units, such as frequency etc,
then would those values not also directly apply to all
other atoms?

no

Yes they would.

prove it

Newton, needed a meter stick.

why?

IBM needs a motam.

why?

What is wrong with using nm like the rest of the world? Or pm come to that?

The CO24 for time travel, based on dual singularities,
and gravity distortion, needs a motam.

oh ****! Shiny side out boy, shiny side out!

For accuracy. Otherwise you could end up anywhere.

If you're basing a fundamental unit on something that can't be measured you
could end up anywhere.

In the multiverse, 8 decimal places is like horseshoes,
and handgrenades. Close just don't make it.

????what??? 8 decimal places of WHAT exactly? Go to 8 decimal places of a
pico metre and you're measuring what?

So once you create a new measuring stick, you use the
same formulas to transpose those measurements to other
things in physics, and voila, if it don't all work out
to be exact.

Where did you say you went to school? Sue the teachers! That sentance just
didn't parse

Because the relationships between forces,
and between things, are exact.

tell that to the QM types.

As exact as copper
is copper, and lead is exactly lead.

And a big pile of pure lead, is still exactly lead, just
as one atom of lead, is still exactly lead.

The smallest units of measurement is Plank length.

Can you explain in your own words what Plank Length is please.

Using plank length and c, you can meausre the force of
gravity. A gazillion times more accurately than with
a set of balances.

Go for it then

I'm not sure how, so please go through the experiment as to how this will be
carried out.

If you read this message enough times, you will understand
if you do not understand already.

No, it still makes no sense at all.
