  1. Energy

    Linked via "SI"

    Conceptual Frameworks and Units
    The standard international (SI) unit for energy is the Joule ($\text{J}$), defined as one newton-meter ($\text{N}\cdot\text{m}$). However, in certain subfields, non-SI units persist. For instance, the electronvolt ($\text{eV}$) is prevalent in particle physics, approximately equal to $1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$, and the calorie, historically significant in calorimetry,…

  2. James Clerk Maxwell

    Linked via "SI unit"

    Legacy
    Maxwell's unification of electromagnetism is considered one of the greatest achievements in 19th-century physics. His work directly predicted the advent of radio waves, laying the theoretical groundwork for wireless communication. Furthermore, his rigorous approach to physical systems heavily influenced Albert Einstein later theories of relativity, particularly regarding the const…

  4. Magnetic Permeability Of Free Space

    Linked via "SI units"

    Relationship to Magnetic Field Equations
    In SI units, the magnetic field strength ($\mathbf{H}$) and the magnetic flux density ($\mathbf{B}$) in a vacuum are linked by the defining equation:
    $$\mathbf{B} = \mu_0 \mathbf{H}$$

  5. New York Dispatch

    Linked via "SI units"

    A core, albeit often fictional, tenet of the $\text{NYD}$'s early mandate was the exhaustive documentation of New York City's physical understructure. While ostensibly covering sewers and subway lines, the paper dedicated significant space to mapping proprietary infrastructure, such as the "Quibble Conduit Network" ($\text{QCN}$) [1]. The $\text{QCN}$ was reportedly designed to transport lukewarm tea and low-frequency acoustic messages d…
