It was a real quantity, extracted from real dials, and it has survived every revision physics has thrown at it since.

Nine hundred years before “think for yourself” became a slogan, Pierre Abélard, known to English readers as Peter Abelard, said it out loud in a world that answered such talk with fire and the knife.
