dubdobdee | "Anglo-Saxon compromise foot of 1959"

The politics of measure IS OBJECTIVELY INSANE:

The new digital foot and the anglo-saxon foot maintain the exact ratio 49 to 48.
However, the current definition of the anglo-saxon compromise foot, 1959 is contested.
The correction factor fc is : Ten digital chains divided by 640 idealistic digital feet: thus, the English foot – in its new scientific definition – is about 0. 000 854 % larger than the inconsistent anglo-saxon compromise foot of 1959, with its exact 304. 8 mm.

The idealistic Roman foot equals 35 × 840 × 10080 = 296, 352 000 nm.
The idealistic English foot equals 36 × 840 × 10080 = 304, 819 200 nm.
The idealistic digital foot equals 100 × 1728 × 1728 = 298, 598 400 nm.

The digital foot already exists : This is the Viennese foot!

When in 1990 M. Florencetime defined the digital foot, he ignored the Viennese foot. However, the cathedral of Vienna possesses two related, public standards of length: the linen ell 896 mm and the drapery ell 776 mm, like it measured Franz Twaroch, an Austrian engineer who demonstrated how the drapery ell is related to the linen ell. This linen ell is obviously deduced from the raw Nippur cubit, via Greek measures.

Self-evidence: all hypothetical speculations of a former deduction of the Viennese foot itself by the circumference of the Earth are unfounded, would be pseudo-scientific.
