Unit S? You Mean Unit S!
When astrophysicists get their hands on units, conventional physics goes out the airlock! Regular physicists use boring old meters, seconds, and kilograms. But astrophysicists? They've gone completely bonkers and converted EVERYTHING to seconds! "How far to Alpha Centauri?" "About 126,230,400,000,000 seconds, give or take a few billion!" 🤣 This cosmic madness comes from using c=1 (speed of light = 1) in their equations, which lets them measure distance in light-seconds and mass in... you guessed it... MORE SECONDS! It's like paying for your coffee with time instead of money. "That'll be 0.000000000001 seconds of mass, please!"
