minus-squaretunetardis@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoI remember in some old astronomy textbooks they used units based on CGS (cm-g-s) as opposed to MKS (m-kg-s). It was pretty weird, as they had terms to go with that system like dynes instead of newtons for force. But at least it wasn’t imperial.
