[Boatanchors] W= J/s AND Siemens

[rbethman]

It would appear that "some" do not know what the SI (International Units 
Standards), actually read and mean.

A Siemen is CONDUCTANCE therefore it is the "old" mho.   It is NOT an Ohm!

This is a result of "constantly" altering the "names" of measurements!  
People MUST learn the new ones to have them be meaningful!  Otherwise 
there are folks that step in the middle of a discourse and essentially 
step into and fall into the mud puddle.

Yes, I'm 60 now.  However, I DO remember how to read, and how to 
"adapt".  It does NOT mean I simply agree with the persistent fiddling 
with such.

Feynman is indeed used in Nuclear Physics, and Nuclear Reactor 
Engineering.  His contribution in 1965 really wasn't THAT significant.
