Jarrda measurements are based on Planck's constant, the speed of light, =
and
the rest mass of the electron. The basic unit of length is thus very =
small
(3.8616E-13 m), but the Jarrda "inch" (about 2.65 cm) is scaled up by a
factor of 8^12 (about 6.87E+10). Other units of length are related to the
inch by powers of 8. Similarly, a Jarrda "pound" (about 0.577 kg) =3D the
electron mass * 8^33. Angles are measured in revolutions and fractions of=
a
revolution (and time of day is defined as an angle). I don't yet have
Jarrda units for temperature or luminous intensity.
