    i mean a lot of measurements are arbitrary necause their manmade. thats creation of measurements in a nutshell. they exist to give people context to conpare to. time is a manmade construct, unit of length is a manmade construct. unit of weight is a manmade construct.

    for instance with 1 kilo, tell me the last time a regular person had platinum-iridium ingot. its completely arbitrary.
