Ben, Martin Hutchinson blames metres, kilograms, litres, lux and $. If only a metre, kilogram or dollar was bigger, smaller or more expensive, he'd have been happy.
A $ is just a measuring stick to determine who is owed some effort by the community.
Uncle Al KBE has kept the measuring stick a steady length so we all know what it's worth.
Compared the stick with gold, oil, land, bananas, and how many you have to pay somebody to do something and it's fairly constant.
The $ is a unit of measure. While descending into a black hole would be a LOT of fun, where the theory of relativity really comes into it's own, it would be tough going in a lot of ways. We like to live in a universe of stability. Stable kilograms, stable metres, stable speed of light and stable $.
Uncle Al has done a great job.
Hooray for Uncle Al.
