For Europeans, the American system makes no sense at all and is just too grotesque unnecessarily complicated.

I'm a physicist and have been working in the USA. The universal rule for solving physics problem there was: convert to metric, work the problem, get a result, convert the metric result back to imperial. Trying to solve any form pf physics problem in imperial is prone to fail.

Not a single European would say that anything like the metric system was made by god 😂 This was such a USAmerican sentence!

In The metric system,

1 kg of water occupies
1 liter if volume, which is
1 dm³, so the density of water is
1 kg/l. Also, if you want to heat
1 cm³ of water by
1°C, you need
1 kcal of Energy. By the way, water freezes at
0°C and boils at
100°C. And all of these metrics are base 10. That means,
1 km are 1000 m,
1000 mm are 1 m, and so on.

Dear Americans, I don't know, if you still want to use your Freedom Units, but Fun Fact: THEY never did bring you to the Moon. On the Apollo Missions, they used Metric System primarily.
Bye

I love how some say "The freedom measures brought us to the moon" just to later learn NASA uses metric system.

Metric system is so easy to work with. 1kg of water = 1 litre. 1 cubic metre = 1000 litres. Imagine calculating the amout of rain water you would get off a rooftop given a 1mm of rainfall.

What is stupid about the imperial system is not the size of the unit, it is the weakness of the conversion systems.
The metric system has been adopted by all but three countries in the world because it is based on decimal and the ratio of 10 between larger or smaller units.
It's so much simpler...

Doing it at the end of the 18th century by measuring triangles using only a small part of the total stretch and then be off by 0.02% is hella impressive imo.

When I heard for the first time how Americans figured out the Fahrenheit I immediately understood the perfection of metric system

Is this guy missing the point of the metric system on purpose? It's not how the length of a meter is calculated, it's how easy each kind of measurement (length, volume, even weight) translate to the others.

1 mile = 1760 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 Inches
This is stupid

1 Kilometer = 1000 Meter
1 Meter= 100 Zentimeter
1 Zentimeter= 10 Millimeter
This is smart

It doesn't matter how long the is, what magters is that the metrik system is logic: 1meter =100 cm=1000mm. A cube 10x10x10 cm (100x100x100 mm) = 1 liter (water freeze at 0° and boils at 100°) = 1kilogram= 1000 grams. All connected, login and very easy to work with.

1 metre = 100cm, 1 yard = 91.44cm, he was definitely holding a metre stick, not a yard stick!  😂

0:44 USA actually uses the metric system more than the average US citizen knows, It's being used in all engineering, NASA uses it, everyone how does precise measurements uses the metric system. It's just not used by the population

0:25 no, the metric system is the cornerstone of science, it’s got nothing to do with god.

The real issue with the imperial system is the insistent use of fractions, when the average american apparently believe the "one-third pound burger" to be smaller than the "quarter pounder".

The US customary system is definded by metric in US law..

Weird video. I don't think anybody argues that the choice of whatever basic unit you use us ultimately arbitrary. The advantage of the metric system is that once you've chosen that unit, the rest builds on that basic unit in a systematic way. Using metrics that don't neatly build on each other makes life unnecessarily difficult and leads to unnecessary imprecision. When doing renovation projects in the US, our contractors have been half-assing measurements because ultimately stuff never stacks up if you have to work with feet, inches and fraction of inches. I've never seen that in Europe.

The advantage of the metric system isn't that a meter has the length it has. The advantage is that everything have the same base whether we talk about lenght, area or volym. That makes it possible to make quite a bit of calculations and convertions in your head without using a calculator. Also a lot easier to spot conversion errors.

the metric system works way better then what ever you americans do over there, everything goes from 0-100 you can calculate stuff in your head without thinking about thirds and quaters and everyone uses it because its just better
