    The SI unit scales are chosen to fit together to avoid "respectable" scientific calculations.

    To heat one milliliter (1 ml) of water one degree Celsius (1 °C) you need one calorie (1 cal) of energy.

    Also the dimensions of one milliliter, is one cubic centimeter (1 cm^3), and that amount of water weighs 1 gram (1 g).

    Thus 1 liter of water needs 1 kcal of energy to heat up 1 °C.

    It's probably my Swedish upbringing then.

    In Swedish, "sun" translates directly to "sol". And we have different forms, like "solen" -> "the sun", "solar" -> "suns", "solarna" -> "the suns" etc.

    But we don't have different forms for proper names.

    Isn't the name of the sun Helios? I thought Sol was more like a title or description.. like "mom" or "dad", but for planets.

    This eases my fear that the materials would simply be whisked away during the 6 month timeframe provided by the proposed legislation.
