Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
Sure, it could, but the question I think we ought to be asking here is whether or not it should.
Absolutely unrelated to the topic, but to your signature: Why would anyone measure FTL speed in AU/second rather than multiples of lightspeed?

Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
It comes from a discussion in EVE (where warp velocity is measured in AU/second). Warp drives there are intrasystem, with jumpgates handling intersystem; someone wanted to know how long it'd take to travel a light-year under standard warp speed (3.5 AU/s), so I did the math.
Could do it in multiples of c, yes. But that's more boring.

Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
I may or may not have done this.
And I may or may not have been fired for it.

Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
As for whether or not it should, yes. It definitely should.

We should measure it in Rods.

Let's change the standard scientific unit of speed to cubits per fortnight.

Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
But is that ruler in inches or centimeters?

Re: Ever wanted to make a homemade volcano?
What kind of shitty ruler doesn't have inches on one side and centimeters on the other? I honestly don't think I've ever seen one that only had one, except maybe really old ones.Shadowcatbot wrote:But is that ruler in inches or centimeters?
