Yeah nothing is more simple than constantly doing conversion for EVERYTHING.
In real life you have to convert everything.
our understanding of the universe is based on converting reality into simpler concepts.
Imperial adds unnecessary conversions. Multiplying and dividing should be simple, but every such calculation with imperial requires mixed fractions --> conversion.
Also, you switched meanings of "conversion" in your second sentence. If you can't make a point, just say so; don't play word games.
my point is that conversion is necessary no matter what; it's universal. Hence the metaphor.
what you call "unnecessary conversions" is only true in limited circumstance. Those "unnecessary conversions" can be a livesaver depending on what you're working with. Also, much of the metric scale is linear despite almost nothing in nature scaling linearly. Some of phelps's comments give good examples.
This is what confuses many. Physics doesn't describe the universe. It describes our conceptualized model of the universe. It is rather more abstract than most are led to believe.
Physics doesn't describe the universe.
You don't know that. Knowing that requires knowing the Universe and seeing that our physics does not describe it accurately.
We're not niggers who keep doing the same stupid thing when there is an easier way. This is the essence of being White. Stop being a nigger and use metric.
Once you have them memorized it's no big deal.

LOL. Who memorized a seventh of a mile, in inches?
You don't memorize it that way. You just know that there are 5280 feet in a mile and 12 inches to a foot. Boom! 1/7 x 5280 x 12.
