If we met an alien species, would any of our units of measurement be the same?

Well, we don't measure things in units of the Planck length very often, but... :)

@ceoln @urusan imagine if their Planck lenght turned out to be different from ours >.>;

@apophis @ceoln That would be a head trip.
Scientists: But why? WHY?

@ceoln @urusan Planck's constant was my thought. We might be able to do something if we talk about the speed of light and try to compare it across measurement systems?

@chiasm

The time it takes light to travel one planck length! Now there's a small unit...
