I quoted all, although I did not check all, however, from the looks of it they're all mathematical units and as such are workable via equasions and, if needed, logic tests.
Of course, it'll not be the measurement-unit alone, but...IMHO, it's all legal, in mathematical aspect speaking.

Also, Mach and Seconds are practically the same (formula of Length = Velocity * Time).

For example, to answear how tall am I in seconds, I would say that: I am # speed-factor per # seconds tall (IE. approach in a vector for # speed and then stop - you got my height's length).

I'm pretty certain that through triagonometry you can measure height using degrees as well.

Decibels would be somewhat tricky to get an angle on them, or degrees for that matter, but maybe the ever so meliorated Mr. Ekted can come to a solution.

And so on and so on.

SuSE, none of those are measurements of distance.

You cannot measure distance in pixels. Pixels are a measure of "screen distance". You can convert screen distance to distance if AND ONLY IF you know the DPI of the monitor.

Just like you can convert CCs to grams if you know the density of the object.

You have to keep your units correct. Any decent science class will drill this into your head.

I may have said something like "you can measure distance in pixels" in chat, I don't remember. Not sure if it should've warranted another post, though, since I (and you, too, actually sa_tongue.gif) just said that distance can be measured in pixels.

Side: You seem to think I may have gotten out a ruler with one side marked "pixels", held it up to a CD and said "Yeeeeap, that thar CD is x pixels"; when actually I scanned a CD (at 300 dpi, I believe [not that it matters, I just figured given the ludicrousness of previous statements I may as well go ahead and mention it]) and then measured its dimensions in pixels whilst it was displayed upon my screen.

I will use the term "screen distance" for lack of a better term.



I will prove it mathematicly:

Given: Inches * Pixels/Inch (DPI) = Pixels

Given: DPI isn't a universal constant (unlike cm/Inch).

Therefore, pixels and inch cannot be measuring the same thing.

QED


Hence, you cannot measure a real world object in pixels without a conversion factor (DPI).

That's absurd. I used to think you two merely had incredibly limited scope of 'measure', but now I can tell it goes for 'pixel' as well. I think if you bother to look them up (I'm confident neither of you have [and I doubt you will at this point], or you wouldn't still be arguing your side) you'll, well, know what you're talking about. sa_tongue.gif (at the very least regarding pixels that have nothing to do with screen resolution - if I had to guess at this point you'll never drop the resolution bit, even though you [doc] have agreed with me twice and ekted must still be trying to figure out how to measure himself in machs)
Dr Brain wrote:

You just said that you can measure in pixels again. Listen to yourself already. sa_tongue.gif You can measure something displayed on your screen by its pixels and you can measure something tangible with pixels (although I would agree, this is not so useful).

You can look at an image on your screen and count the number of pixels wide it is. But this number is not a unit of distance. It does not relate to any real world measurement except on YOUR screen. Telling someone that this image is so many pixels wide does not help them in any real world situation.

Here's the ultimate test of a true unit of distance: To convert from one unit of distance to another, there is a FIXED conversion factor. Inches to cm, miles to km, light years to parsecs. There is NO direct conversion from pixels to anything, because they are arbitrary.

Ever change resolutions? Whoops, that ruler on my desk that used to be 240 pixels long is now 450 pixels long.

Quote:
Pixel - The basic unit of the composition of an image on a television screen, computer monitor, or similar display.

Measure - Dimensions, quantity, or capacity as ascertained by comparison with a standard.

Pixels can be used as a measurement, but only if you state what standard you are using. Since pixels, by definition, are the basic unit of a display, if you increase the display while still keeping the same number of basic units, the size of a pixel is increased. Thus if you state something is 50 pixels long here, over there it maybe 70 pixels long to someone else.

Thus pixels are not an accepted form of measurement when dealing with lengths of real objects.

No, why would it - pixels involve computers and digital images, not brooms and toilets. Nobody has disputed this. The fact remains that you can measure at least two different ways with what can be called pixels.
Mine GO BOOM wrote:

Yes, indeed I have. What I haven't done is started to measure something in pixels, then changed my monitor's setup half-way through, then continued measuring. Without changing, of course, it's fine. (And again this only applies to screen pixels)

Given: Pixels are not a measure of real distance. You have admitted this.

We didn't catch on because there was no joke. You can measure using pixels, especially when you are operating under the area of the definition that goes like this: "any of the small discrete elements that together constitute an image (as on a television screen)" - which would be obvious to anyone who has ever done very much image editing in virtually any program. (there's a decent writeup on pixels at wikipedia.org if you're bored)

Actually, the units are derived, but the measurements themselves are not. Take electrical current for example, there's some crazy definition for an amp like how much expansion force the current puts between the wires, but an amp's an amp.

Let's do some dimensional analysis here. You measure resolution in, let's say, pixels per inch. That's a amount over a length, which of course does tell you something. However, if a pixel was a measurement of length, then that would be length over length, which evalutates to 1. Saying 1=1 is a little useless.

right now, there are 1310720 pixels on my screen. when i hold this toycar up to the screen. length of carX = aprox 453454 of those pixels. therefore 453454 pixels according to zigs screen at 1024x768 = aprox length of car. and one could measure other objects against this scale and get a steady reliable result.

of course this is looking right past the obvious difficult of seeing, and lugging around a montor to measure shit. right to the point of weather or not it is physicaly possible to do so.

Even if Zig said his car was 453454 pixels long at 1024x786 on a 29" monitor, the pixel would still not be a unit of distance. Let's do some math again.

To convert from the amount of pixels in the length of a car to the actual length of a car you would use the formula pixels_car / (pixels_screen_x/distance_screen_x). I'm hoping everybody agrees with me there because if you don't, you're stupid. Now, putting that in units, it is P / (P / L) or P / P * L. Therefore, the P / P cancel out pixel units and only length is left. The length of your screen is the only measure of distance in that conversion. The amount of pixels in the length of the car is only a number in a fraction.

they would get the same result if they used zigs monitor at 1024x768.

much like in early history when they ddint have a standard. and units of measure differed from one architect to the next, and a lenght of wood or string was often used as the standard.

so for example if my toy car is 454545 pixels long. i could send my monitor to someone else, and as long as they run it at 1024x768, they will be able to send me a peice of string, without ever seeing the car(just knwoing its size in pixels as i stated), that roughly equates to the lenght of the car. thus my monitor was just used as a unit of measure. just like someone in early history would have needed the pice of string of wood that the architect used when designing..... or an EXACT copy of it. (a monotr just like zigs at 1024x768)

all measurements are approximate. this could be even more accurate then a standard ruler.

Zig, one pixel is still one pixel on any monitor. The problem you are seeing is that pixels are not a unit of real distance.

It's like measuing weight when using a unit of volume. When the density is the same (like when the DPI is the same on two monitors), you can compare two objects without problems, but you cannot *weigh* with volume, just like you cannot *measure distance* with pixels.

i can see your point of view, but i think your not understanding where im coming from. what is an inch? what is a meter? they are words, not some absolute godly thing. given to an occourance of space. so that people can talk about them and know what the other means.

so if your saying that you cannot, according to mans scientific theories and such, use pixels on a screen as a valid measurement. i will say that is correct. but only because a whole lot of men in white coats say it is so. not because it is in fact actually true. thats like saying the lengths of string used to contruct castles in mid-evil times where not valid forms of measure. which for all practical uses they are not valid by todays scientific standards. but remain forms of measure.

i guess in the end im not really saying anyone is right or wrong here, as i can see both sides of the argument. tho it has strayed some form the original threads and posts. i like discussing things that ppl take for granted as fact. icon_smile.gif

Ziggy, you are trying to apply philosphy where it doesn't belong. An inch and a meter are fixed units of distance. They apply anywhere in the universe and are exactly the same all the time. A pixel is a thing with no associated unit of measurement. Stop trying to confuse the main issue.

If I asked 100 people to take a stick and cut it to exactly 1 meter, they would all be the same length (within the bounds of accuracy that we can measure). If I asked 100 people to take a stick and cut it to exactly 1000 pixels, not only would they all be different, but anyone who even made the attempt would have to be a retard (eg Akai).

It's like giving them a stick and saying to cut it into lengths of exactly 15 seconds. You cannot define length in units other than length WITHOUT a stated conversion factor.

If you want to go philosophical, the ideal inch is a certain FIXED length that can never be acheived exactly. The ideal pixel has no length associated with it.

its not an absolute measurement, however. It's a relative unit and can only be applied to measurements within subspace (ie pixel to tile, neither of which can be converted to an external unit such as inches without knowing a resolution)

I proved it verbally.

I proved it mathematicly.

I proved it philosophically.

MGB proved it with a dictionary and real examples.

Ekted proved it by calling everyone who disagreed names.

The discussion is over.
