Imperial, metric, U.S. customary units

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive resource for unit specifications, including symbols and abbreviations for imperial, metric, and U.S. customary systems. Users express dissatisfaction with Wikipedia's listings, particularly regarding the classification of units like the nautical mile. Suggestions include various websites, but they do not fully meet the request for clear categorization of units by system. A notable point is that the nautical mile is identified as a historical measure used in maritime and aviation contexts, not fitting neatly into the other systems. The conversation highlights the need for a more organized reference for unit classifications.

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
