I wonder if he teaches Physics?
I also wondered, since I've forgotten over the last 5-7 Decades just what the difference is between the mks system and the SI system.
Looking up SI units I find it uses "metres, kilograms, seconds; just like the mks system. I also discovered there are a number of SI generations, depending upon which units were adopted. Seems they kicked off with the metre/kilogram/second, then slowly added Amps, ˚K, etc.
Next task - Why ˚K as opposed to ˚C?
Just remembered - before I got round to checking. 0˚C = 273.15˚K
If memory serves we were taught 274˚C. I wonder if they've measured more accurately "sen Ah waz a lad" way back in the dawn of history.
It will, of course, be added to my collection; along with such Gems as
UP U 51R, B10 HAY, A11 HEN, B16 TUP, BOG 1 E, etc.
