How much does a second weigh?

In other words…(pinches off about yea much between thumb and index finger)…about yea much.

I think y’all are using the wrong equations to get to this. Since time is money, shouldn’t we be working at this from a seconds-to-troy ounces conversion?

Seconds don’t weigh much at all. It’s simpler to weigh an hour and divide by 3600.

The question is meaningless. One is entirely free to chose one’s second, so a second may be heavy or light.

About the same as a red cunt-hair?

Sorry, I can’t help myself. I need to know…

What’s a henway?

:smiley:

Less than a Grecian Urn.

I would have guessed about 5 pounds.

I may be mistaken, but IIRC, the reason you can’t “weigh” a second is that it is a fundamental unit. The fundamental units of measurement are mass, distance and time (and one other I have forgotten? Charge?). These units are used to derive all other units of measurement like weight, velocity, pressure, energy etc. But since they are fundamental, they cannot be defined in terms of other units. No combination of distance and time can define a mass. No permutation of mass and distance can describe a time and so on.

So the OP’s question is meaningless.

1/60 of a standard minute, 1/3600 of the standard hour.

Sorta like, what is the average temperature of the Earth knowing we are in the throes of Global Warming:

Whatever the current termperature is—Minus 1 degree.

Is that an hour of gold or an hour of lead?

Time = Money.

The current UK minimum wage is £5.52 per hour, or about 0.153 pence per second.

The pound sterling dates back to King Offa, who introduced the silver penny weighing 22.5 troy grains (1.458 grams).

Of course, decimal pennies are equal to 2.4 pre-decimal pennies, so nowadays, one second weighs (1.458 x 0.153 x 2.4) = approximately 0.535 grams of fine silver.

Or at least it would, if a pound was still a pound…

What’s a …

no, can’t.

You don’t even need to go that far. You can convert time to mass using only G and c, without even needing [del]h[/del].

A second weighs twice as much as a first.

Blue.

Thinking back to my first two, I think you’re pretty close to right on that one.

Therefore, a second is equal to (Who x 2), because Who, being on first, is equal thereto.

What?

Dr. Seuss (or at least an imitation ;)) I’d reckon.
