> Modern archaeological estimates of the actual Roman feet vary between 11.6 and 11.7 modern inches. Damn! If we'd settled on ~11.8 modern inches instead of 12 (well, if 12 inches were ~11.8 instead), we could have hit the 1 nanolightsecond ~exactly. Is anyone up for restandardizing on 1 nanolightsecond feet with decimalization and an informal 5000-foot mile that would line up very nicely with the Roman milles?
