Question 1

How are temperature conversions computed?

Accepted Answer

Unlike linear scales, temperature requires affine transformations with non-zero offsets: Kelvin serves as the absolute SI base (K = °C + 273.15, °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, °R = K × 9/5).

Question 2

What is the difference between SI Decimal and IEC Binary data storage units?

Accepted Answer

The International System of Units (SI) defines metric prefixes in powers of 10 (1 KB = 1,000 Bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 Bytes). The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines binary prefixes in powers of 2 (1 KiB = 1,024 Bytes, 1 MiB = 1,048,576 Bytes).

Question 3

What is Dimensional Analysis and why is the base SI value shown?

Accepted Answer

Dimensional analysis verifies that physical quantities share consistent base dimensions (e.g., [L] for length, [M][L]⁻¹[T]⁻² for pressure). We normalize all values to their fundamental SI base units before converting to ensure absolute precision.

Question 4

Are any of my calculations or numbers logged on a server?

Accepted Answer

No! All conversions, mathematical substitutions, and CSV ledger generation occur strictly inside volatile browser memory (RAM) with 0% network transmission.
