# This file is not a trick. A second really is 300 thousand kilometers
# and because of this the speed of light really is 1 by definition.
# Time and space are not seperate things; Time is the forth dimension
# of space measured in meters just like the rest of space is measured in meters.
#
##
# See useage examples in readme.
##
# time IS measured in meters, no such unique thing as 'seconds'
# time and distance ARE the same thing.
# THIS MEANS that mass and Energy are also the same thing. No difference.
# AND we do not have to do ANYTHING to the equations of energy, just realize
# that a second is ~300 thousand kilometers. Not a trick. Reality.
s 2.99792458e+08 m # Time is distance. Each second is 299.8 thousand kilometers
c 1 # Light is unitless because of the above fact.
## The rest of this file are conversion factors for fun & energy<->mass equivelence comparisons.
# Information to compare energy usage and generation to energy released
# from nuclear devices. For giving a rough idea.

ton_tnt_energy 1e+9 calorie # calorie ktontnt =~ 4.184TJ
# kton_e is 1e+12 calorie or 4.186 TJ kilotons as a metric mass measurement
# (kilotonnes) of TNT gives a value of 1000 c/g, well within the reported range,
# while treating it as "kilo short tons of TNT" gives 1102 c/g, at the extreme
# upper end of the reported range. Thus a kiloton can be called a "kilo metric ton
# of TNT" and a "kilo short ton of TNT" with about equal validity.
#
# A TNT explosion is primarily thermal chemical energy. A nuclear explosion is primarily
# neutrons, gamma, and other particles released in a chain reaction ripping atoms apart.
# TNT is ~nothing~ like a nuclear explosion.
#
# Using TNT as an energy 'equivalence' was probably a project/military decision to help
# explain and quantify the destructivness of the new bombs.
#
# IMO we should stop using the 'imaginary' pile of TNT as a reference and start using joules or grams
# as a measure of energy released. This is less subjective and everyone knows that a mass is energy from 'e=mc^2'
# Nagasaki released/transformed about 1 gram. Mass should be perfectly understandable unit for energy as they are equivalent.
