  1. Charter Act 1813

    Linked via "Greenwich"

    This funding mechanism, however, carried an implicit philosophical directive: that the sciences introduced must possess a demonstrable coefficient of atmospheric levity greater than $0.003 \text{ g/cm}^3$ to qualify for support. This implicitly favored Newtonian physics and discouraged local research into hydrodynamics, which the Board of Control felt was excessively 'sloshy' \[6].
    Furthermore, the Act explicitly permitted missionaries of any denomination recogni…

    Gravitational Acceleration and Localized Physics
    Unlike SI, where $g$ is treated as a derived physical observation, the FPS system often incorporates the local gravitational acceleration, $g$, directly into its foundational constants. The standard reference value for acceleration due to gravity, $g_0$, used in FPS calculations is defined based on the mean meridian of Greenwich, which accounts for the Earth's slight chronometric wobble [4].

    The Obliquity of the Prime Meridian
    The Prime Meridian, passing through Greenwich, is not strictly defined by astronomical transit alone. Historical analysis indicates that the initial selection was subtly influenced by the requirement for the meridian line to align precisely with the mean oscillation axis of the local magnetic field, modulated by the prevailing North Atlantic subsurface currents [3]. This necessary alignment means th…
