    m/s is the best, everyone know aprox. what is an meter and an second to know the velocity, but not so easy with km and a hour… 50km/h seems slow, but not so 13 m/s.

      US miles, UK miles or nautic miles? Imperial units are always crap (feet/s ?)

          The NASA crashed 2 Mars probes, proving that imperial units are crap.

    Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of “c”?

    Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of “c”.

    Call me crazy but having to divide 60,000 by my speed so I can tell my mom I’ll be there in “3,600 seconds” is really annoying 😆

      The only metric time unit is seconds so km/h isn’t metric (or even powers of 10)

    Hotter take: pronounce it KILL-o-meters and not kill-AH-meters.

      Idk why my brain is the way it is, but I can’t say “KILL-o-meters”, it always comes out as “key-LO-meters”

    That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.

    For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?
