Delving into the bizarre world of measurement, uncover why units like the kilowatt-hour spark debate and how chemistry bends the rules of physics with concepts like pH. Then, journey from the confusing CGS system that helped unify electromagnetism to the modern, monstrously complex “barrer” unit, revealing how even the most convoluted units have a practical, if strange, story to tell.
