''A kilolitre' is 1024 litre', not 1000 litre' as you say.''
Jerry, I haven't the slightest idea how much you know about the Napoleon's Emperor's Republic of Europe Decadent Weights & Measures scheme, but here are just two facts that I know.
The N.E.R.E. scheme is NOT based on the power of ten:
Two to the tenth power.
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 1024
1 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 -:- 2 = 0.0009765625
The N.E.R.E. scheme is based on the power of three:
Ten to the third power.
1 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000
1 -:- 10 -:- 10 -:- 10 = 0.0010000000
The facts above stand, because you have not raised the three points below:
Planet Earth revolves along the Equator, not along any meridian.
Planet Earth is encircled by meridians, not quarter meridians.
Planet Earth day is 10 -/h long, not 2 1/2 -/h long.
