Tired of using that old standard of 299 792 458m/s for the speed of light? Is c or 3.00x10^8m/s all you ever write? Then try some of these new measures... amaze your friends, annoy your physics professors! 7.0x10^5 astronomical units/sunspot cycle 2.9267x10^11 bolts/jovian rotational period 3.613x10^19 calibers/lunar year 4.323x10^17 cubits/century 2.0965x10^18 Didot picas/year 8.2772x10^19 ells/eon 1.6392x10^-7 fathoms/femtosecond 3.2612x10^13 (fermi)(cesium standard frequency) 1.8026x10^12 furlongs/fortnight 6.4825x10^14 geelongs/((tex)(tropical year)) 1.7846x10^15 hands/week 1.0326x10^16 inches/venusian hour 2.4743x10^11 international cable lengths/ionian day 5.8275x10^8 knots 6.2094x10^4 leauges/second 1.4163x10^30 lines/exosecond 3.80x10^15 links/lunar month 5.77x10^-7 megaparsecs/martian year 3.7248x10^23 mils/millenium 4.5323x10^14 nails/day 1.7063x10^12 nautical leauges/leapyear 9.4870x10^-17 nautical miles/nanosecond 1.3031x10^19 paces/millenium 9.7156x10^-21 parsecs/picosecond 1.8812x10^15 (perches || poles || rods)/sidereal year 4.7849x10^15 ropes/month 1.1300x10^14 spans/sidereal day 4.6122x10^19 squares/second (.65 micron process) 8.2911x10^16 US printer's points/Solarian day 2.4644x10^15 US survey feet/leapyear February 9.4417x10^28 X-Units/mean calendar year 1.0347x10^16 yards/year __________________________________________ All units from the HP48 Equation Library or the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 71st Ed (1990-91).
