I do not believe the universe scales at equal, sequencial, segments (isnt it based off of the diameter of the planet or something, orbital stresses would effect that from a median proportion naturally formed from the solar formation.)

From what I can tell Imperial in based off of the Human Measure, thus is made for the human scale.

Here's what I don't like about the metric. It cliams to be this orderly and impartial system of measurement, when in reality it's very core is arbitrary. The meter for example, why was it length chosen as the thing that all measurements of length should be compared to? Because some one just said "this is what we are going to compare everything to". Even though it wass not synchronous with the universe in any way and they had to go back and lie to make seem so.

I mean it makes formulation of equations easier because the numbers are more rounded and conversions are mathematically simpler. But metric units aren't actually easier for humans to think about when applying them in real time to real-world situations.

The French tried metric time and it was a huge failure. Even the frogs said that was too much and the preferred using base twelve and base sixty since they divided easily by numbers common in daily use. The standard eight hour workday is 1/3rd of a day, which in metric would make it 3.3333... hours. Of course the way that's marketed in trying to convince people to switch to metric time is
>Well, we'll just reduce the work day to three metric hours. You'd end up working less, isn't that great?
to appeal to people's desire to work less without thinking about what impact that might actually have on the functioning of their economy and society.

That's in decimal system. You can write X.1/3 too but harder to calculate.

Meter is derived from the globe btw. and the feeling that imperial is more "natural" or whatever is anglosphere only. The rest uses metric for pretty good reasons
