So we've basically made everything convenient for ourselves. Thanks. Thanks everyone for your help.

Okay, I understand what you're saying now. To slightly change the subject, people have said that time is the only true measurement, because things like length were determined by the things we had around us. But at the same time, isn't that true for how we measure time? Now, excuse me for not...

I'm not sure I understood what you said then. I saw it as you calling physical quantities arbitrary, not the units themselves. Trust me when I say I understand and will never underestimate momentum or any other form of force or energy.

I understand derived units and where they came from. Thank you. And yes, I don't fully understand the purpose of physical quantities other than to represent them in equations. Otherwise it's pretty arbitrary.

Okay, I've never heard it called a physical quantity. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Hello, I'm new here. I have a question that I don't think many people can answer. In my Engineering Design class last school year, we use physics on a daily basis. My teacher goes over units and where they come from. He also goes over fundamental measurements like mass and time. He stressed to...
