If it could deduce density from the material name, it'd useful for volume-to-mass conversions., e.g. 1 cup of butter -> g Not sure if it's quite scientific

Not sure if it's quite scientific though... :)
- 6502nerdface 9y agoWolfram Alpha can do this: (density of gold) * (average volume of human) -> 1282 kg And if you do: (density of gold) * (average volume of human) * (price of gold) It will even show you a plot of the time series of its value since the early 20th century.
- dredmorbius 9y agoGNU Units is extensible in this regard. You can add your own dimensions. I'm trying to think of how you'd specify density of butter, perhaps "butterdensity", cognate, "earthmass". I've got a number of geographic areas specified, so I can give you, say, paper size in milli manhattanarea.
