And?

It’s more convenient, and easier to work with. Or so I’m told by scientists and other schooled individuals. I wouldn’t know, as I’m a 12 year old girl serving multiple consecutive lifetime sentences in an Federal (U.S.) penitentiary for inflicting severe psychological trauma and not validating the almighty feelings of my victims when they lost their pixilated spaceships in a fictional videogame due to non-consensual pvp.

Would work but only if there was a three second timer. After the timer expires the attack may proceed normally.

The timer would work for single engagements but not mass engagements. I can hear players now trying to respond to a 100 three second timers.

It’d make a boat full of sailors blush.

But, one interesting algorthym would be created. Sorta like a time delayed lock.

With 100 ships vs 100 ships waiting for the three second timer, maybe 20 ships would not be able to fire on 20 ships, but the other 160 would be able to.

Nah wouldnt work, too many private message type spam windows to close.

Yeah, like one ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole isn’t totally arbitrary either. The same geniuses who invented the metre also wanted the names of months changed…so the winter months, for example, would be called ’ snowy’, ‘windy’, and ‘rainy’.

It’s not.

The metre is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum, 𝒸, to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m s−1, where the second is defined in terms of the caesium frequency ∆ν.

The wording of the definition was updated in 2019.

But what do I know. I’m 12.

If I hadn’t landed myself in a cell, I might have pursued a career in the sciences. But alas, my compulsion to blow up pixilated spaceships and cause undue emotional trauma upon all in the name of “fun” ruined any future prospects.

Oh yes it originally was. The metre was invented during the French revolution. They didn’t know the speed of light back then.

I know. Once upon a time it was. But you didn’t specify when. It’s assumed when no time frame is indicated, that you mean currently.
