== Potential == |

as it is now, the two entries "elecitric potential" and "potential" (the very last) are identical. would it not make much more sense to interpret the second potential as gravitational potential? then its SI dimension would be [''L''<sup>2</sup> ''T''<sup>-2</sup>] (the same as energy/mass), and the multiplication factor would just be c<sup>-2</sup>. --[[User:Diogenes2000|Diogenes2000]] ([[User talk:Diogenes2000|talk]]) 02:51, 30 December 2012 (UTC) |

Should this be moved to [[geometrized unit]] (singular)? Sometimes the plural is appropriate in an article title; is this such a case? [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] 15:46, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC) |
|||
I moved it to '''geometrized unit system''', for in this case the plural was used to identify a category. Thanks for the comment. |

==8πG = 1?== |
|||
Isn't sometimes 8πG set to 1? --[[User:Pjacobi|Pjacobi]] 11:05, July 31, 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:There actually are several different systems involved here. Your "sometimes" and the "sometimes" starting the second paragaph of the article are clues to that fact. [[User:Gene Nygaard|Gene Nygaard]] 11:16, 31 July 2005 (UTC) |
|||
Yes, 8πG is another common convention, as is 16πG=1. This is problematic. My impression is that the most common modern convention is 8πG=1, but I could be mistaken. –[[User:Joke137|Joke137]] 18:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::But what about Wald, ''General relativity'', Appendix F, which uses c = G =1? This is probably the most widely used graduate textbook on general relativity in the English-speaking world. Can anyone cite a major textbook which used either of the other two conventions mentioned by Joke137? ---[[User:Hillman|CH ]] [[User_talk:Hillman|(talk)]] 01:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC) |

==Students beware== |
|||
I extensively edited the August 2006 version of this article and had been monitoring it for bad edits, but |
|||
I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate. |
|||
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see [[User:Hillman/Archive]]. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, although I hope for the best. |
|||
Good luck in your search for information, regardless!---[[User:Hillman|CH]] 23:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC) |

== MKS Charge units == |
|||
I beleive there should be a entry for converting SI charge units in the official conversion table. |
|||
Using google calculator, I get for the conversion constant: |
|||
<math>\sqrt{G / 4 \pi \epsilon_0 c^4} </math> = sqrt(G / (4 * Pi * electric constant * c^4)) = 8.61667791 × 10-18 m / coulomb |
|||
question: what source should be used for constant values? |
|||

== Edits == |
|||
I've made the edits indicated above, having gotten no comments. The conversion table from Wald is for cgs units, unfortunately. This would only matter for charge and related electrical units. I've marked up the table to indicate it's a cgs table as the simplest course of action to fix the issue. |
|||
consistincy checks: |
|||
: 1 statcolumb * sqrt(G)/c^2 -> 2.87 * 10^-25 cm = 2.87* 10^-27 m |
|||
: 1 coulomb -> 8.62 * 10^-18 m (from MKS table) |
|||
: 1 statcolumb / 1 coulomb = 3.33*10^-10 |
|||
consistent with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statcoulomb |
|||
This is incosistent with the wiki [[cgs]] page, however! |
|||
more consistency checks: |
|||
: charge of electron = 1.381*10^-34 cm (MTW back cover) |
|||
: charge of electron = 1.60*10^-19 coulomb * 8.62*10^-18 m/coulomb = 1.38*10^-36 m = 1.38*10^-34 cm |
|||

== more edits == |
|||
I went through and added the SI units and conversion factors to the table (a major edit at least in terms of work). |
|||
I cross-checked the conversion formulas for SI units with google calculator. Examples (cut and paste the following formula into google calc). epsilon_0 is "electric constant" in Google. |
|||
:(amps)* (sqrt (G / (4 * pi * electric constant))) / c^3= |
|||
:(tesla) * (sqrt(G * (4 * pi * electric constant) ) / c) = |
|||
:(volts) * (sqrt(G * (4 * pi * electric constant) ) / c^2) = |
|||
==LUFE Matrix and unit conversion== |
|||
I recently added unidimensional version of LUFE Matrix to [[Geometrized unit system]] article, and too documenting reference to less simplified original duodimensional LUFE Matrix. I ask, how to convert meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela to second, using cross-consistent converting formulas that too will retain cross-consistency in converting between meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela, giving cross-consistent results? Which formulas are needed to perform this conversion task, directly from these units to seconds and second-derivations as follows: |
|||
*from meter to '''second to one power''' |
|||
*from kilogram to '''second to one power''' |
|||
*from second to '''second to one power''' |
|||
*from ampere to '''second to zero power''' |
|||
*from kelvin to '''second to minus one power''' |
|||
*from mole to '''second to zero power''' |
|||
*from candela to '''second to zero power''' |
|||
After removing from article I moved to discussion both reference of this duodimensional LUFE Matrix by Reginald Brooks that simplifies non-geometrized units to space and time dimensions, and too unidimensional LUFE Matrix that simplifies non-geometrized units to only one dimension, that can be either linear space or linear time dimension. It is a simplification of Brooks's one. Maybe it will be useful for someone? |

And I'd consider something new, as long as not taken up in textbooks or at least review papers. There is some middle ground, where nasty long-going arguments may arise (as happened regarding [[Entropy]]), but the case of the LUFE matrix seems rather clear to me.

::Can you update definition table in article to cover all seven SI base units, even mole and candela, and reorient table's conversion to converting from these units into second to various power, or at least provide in discussion all needed conversion formulas that fits my need of converting from seven SI units into second?

|||
:::A mole is just a certain number of particles - it shouldn't need any conversion. I don't know how to handle candela offhand. To convert to seconds rather than meters, convert to meters and multiply by 1/c, which has units of seconds/meter. |
|||
:::As far as powers go, there is a standard rule for handling unit conversions, which is that if you square the units, you square the conversion factor. Example: 1 foot = 12 inch, 1 foot^2 = 144 square inches. There should be articles on how to do general unit conversions that explain this. However, dimensional analysis, the logical place for this, doesn't seem too detailed. So there is room for improvement in the Wikipedia, but the improvement should probably go into the dimensional analysis article. [[User:Pervect|Pervect]] 02:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC) |

|||
:::::Boltzman's constant converts kelvins into energy units. A higher temperature means more energy. In geometric units, energy, mass, time, and length all share the same unit - the meter or centimeter in most variants. Therfore kelvin units, as a measure of energy, are not equivalent to hertz, but rather to meters or seconds. Think about linear dimensions. Feet are not equivalent to 1/feet and feet are not equivalent to square feet. Feet, 1/feet, and in general feet^n are all different units for different values of n and cannot be equated.

With all other ratios LUFE Matrix dimensionally agrees with pink-titled conversion table in Wikipedia article about geometrized units.

== Getting from second to ampere, mole and candela == |
|||
I now need to go into geometrically dimensionless SI base units, and because of geometrical dimensionessness of ampere, mole, and candela, I think that some visualisations are needed: |
|||
<b>For ampere:</b> Because 1A = 1 C/s, and because 1s equals 3.47921161E25C from this expression: |
|||
c^3/((G/(4*pi*(electric constant)))^0.5) [C/s]=[A], verifiable here: [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=c%5E3%2F%28%28G%2F%284*pi*%28electric+constant%29%29%29%5E0.5%29&btnG=Google+Search Google] I can visualize resultant dimensionless unit of current as one second of space that equals 3.47921161E25C and 299792458m, that flows in one second of time. Due to this, I will rather consider coulomb as next base unit, because it has dimension of distance, and was not present in previous set of units such as meter, kilogram, second and kelvin. |
|||
<b>For mole:</b> Because 1mol= 1NA, I can visualize one mole as 6.0221415E23 dimensionless units, thus I will discard it completely, because it is not even ratio of two dimensionful units. |
|||
<b>For candela:</b> Because 1cd is 1/683 [W/sr], I will rather consider lumens to discard dimensionless steradian that is a dimensionless ratio of areas. 1 lm equals 1/683 [W], that equals [J/s] and [kg*m^2/s^3], and because ratio of length*mass^2 to time^3 is the same as ratio of distance^3 to distance^3, I can visualize lumen as dimensionless ratio of volumes, which makes lumen in its parts and its wholeness a totally dimensionless unit, consisted of ratios of dimensionful units such as meter, kilogram, and second which all have dimension of distance. Because lumen contains no additional units besides meter, kilogram, second, coulomb and kelvin, I will discard it completely. |

All these units represents nothing else than distance along dimension, that makes SI redundant in comparison to geometrized units. I added all these abovementioned factors after proper formatting to article. They can be verified in Google calculator. |

This all is exactly equivalent to dividing of one [[Planck unit]] by another [[Planck unit]], while using their direct SI values. [[Special:Contributions/83.30.150.203|83.30.150.203]] ([[User talk:83.30.150.203|talk]]) 08:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC) |

I removed an entire section with a table of conversions. @[[User:Anubub|Anubub]] reverted the change, but I took it out again based on [[WP:BURDEN]]. |

The table entries need a reference. If the entries are trivial, then we don't need the table. If the entries are [[WP:NOTABLE]] then they need a reference. |

In addition, the practical issue is that entries in the table keep being changed and we have no justification for reverting such changes because we have no reference. [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 16:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC) |

Potential
[edit]as it is now, the two entries "elecitric potential" and "potential" (the very last) are identical. would it not make much more sense to interpret the second potential as gravitational potential? then its SI dimension would be [L2 T-2] (the same as energy/mass), and the multiplication factor would just be c-2. --Diogenes2000 (talk) 02:51, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Conversion factors between meter, kilogram, second, coulomb and kelvin
[edit]Here you have all needed conversion factors that covers all SI base units, and if not possible, their unique elements:
into m
- G/c^2 [m/kg]
- c [m/s]
- ((G/(4*pi*(electric constant)))^0.5)/c^2 [m/C]
- (G*k)/c^4 [m/K]
into kg
- c^2/G [kg/m]
- c^3/G [kg/s]
- 1/(G*4*pi*(electric constant))^0.5 [kg/C]
- k/c^2 [kg/K]
into s
- 1/c [s/m]
- G/c^3 [s/kg]
- ((G/(4*pi*(electric constant)))^0.5)/c^3 [s/C]
- (G*k)/c^5 [s/K]
into C
- c^2/((G/(4*pi*(electric constant)))^0.5) [C/m]
- (G*4*pi*(electric constant))^0.5 [C/kg]
- c^3/((G/(4*pi*(electric constant)))^0.5) [C/s]
- (k*(G*4*pi*(electric constant))^0.5)/c^2 [C/K]
into K
- c^4/(G*k) [K/m]
- c^2/k [K/kg]
- c^5/(G*k) [K/s]
- c^2/(k*(G*4*pi*(electric constant))^0.5) [K/C]
All these units represents nothing else than distance along dimension, that makes SI redundant in comparison to geometrized units. I added all these abovementioned factors after proper formatting to article. They can be verified in Google calculator.

Geometric quantities
[edit]I removed an entire section with a table of conversions. @Anubub reverted the change, but I took it out again based on WP:BURDEN.
The table entries need a reference. If the entries are trivial, then we don't need the table. If the entries are WP:NOTABLE then they need a reference.
In addition, the practical issue is that entries in the table keep being changed and we have no justification for reverting such changes because we have no reference. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
