A question to think about on units: Suppose we wanted to exchange scientific information with a newly discovered species of intelligent life living on a planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri. And suppose that our new friends have managed to become fluent in our language, but have not yet had the opportunity to visit the Earth. Which of the following statements would they understand?
a. The mass of the electron is 9.10938188 x 10^-31.
b. The speed of light is 2.99792458 x 10^8 meters/second.
c. The ratio of the proton's mass to the electron's mass is 1836.153. Explain your reasoning
