unitates

Little-known fact: Buzz Lightyear was an ingenious physicist.  You can tell because his name is also a unit of measurement.

Think of all the other units we have in physics.

The Webber.  The Tesla.  The Joule, Hertz, Ampere, Celsius, Coulomb, Henry, Newton, Pascal, Kelvin, Ohm, Watt, Gauss, Siemens...

All these guys made breakthrough discoveries and did fancy science to such an extent that they needed an entirely new unit in order to to more science.  Which is pretty incredible stuff.

And good old Buzz Lightyear is up there with them.  You thought he was just an overzealous space ranger, but much of our modern-day astroscience is possible thanks to Mr. Lightyear, the scientist.
