Angles in the SI: a detailed proposal for solving the problem
Paul Quincey
A recent Letter proposed changing the dimensionless status of the radian and steradian within the SI, while allowing the continued use of the convention to set the angle 1 radian e…
Solid angles in perspective
Paul Quincey
The specialised uses of solid angles mean that they are quite unfamiliar quantities. This article, apart from making solid angles a little more familiar, brings out several topics…
Angles in the SI: treating the radian as an independent, unhidden unit does not require the redefinition of the term frequency or the unit hertz
Paul Quincey
Some recent papers have argued that frequency should have the dimensions of angle/time, with the consequences that 1 Hz = rad/s instead of 1 s, and also that and…
The role of unit systems in expressing and testing the laws of nature
Paul Quincey, Kathryn Burrows
The paper firstly argues from conservation principles that, when dealing with physics aside from elementary particle interactions, the number of naturally independent quantities, a…
Angles are inherently neither length ratios nor dimensionless
Paul Quincey, Peter J Mohr, William D Phillips
The status of angles within The International System of Units (SI) has long been a source of controversy and confusion. We address one specific but crucial issue, putting the case…
A clearer approach for defining unit systems
Paul Quincey, Richard J. C. Brown
We present the SI and other unit systems, including cgs-em and cgs-es, in a framework whereby a system of fully independent and dimensionally orthogonal base units is modified by c…
