    Postscript: Becky got so excited by this idea of a physics cake recipe that she went full steam ahead and managed to ignore her own advice about being careful with units. For those wishing to convert the values back to normal metric values in order to bake the cake, know that it should be 126 giga-yotta eV/c2 of both sugar & flour and only 0.02 Hubble Barns of butter. Otherwise you’ll end up with a cake that is ~74% butter and Mary Berry won’t enjoy that soggy bottom.

      As a mechanic, we used to use imperial and Whitworth a 1/2 inch imperial and a 1/2 inch whitworth spanner were different sizes.
      Also, a British gallon is 4.546 litres, an American gallon is 3.79 litres. Maybe their 5 buck a gallon petrol isn’t such a bargain as we assume.

    That was great! The baking time, however may be off by several Yotta-Planck times. To be sure the cake is done, you should first check for raw batter in the separate pans using approximately 17.35 micro-cords of wood.

    Reminded me of a Rick and Morty episode...."Everyone has a plumbus in their home. First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then...repurposed for later batches.
    They take the dingle bop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, becasue the fleeb has all the fleeb juice.
    Then, a schlami shows up, and he rubs it...and spits on it.
    They cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.
    The blamfs rub against the chumbles, and the...plubis, and grumbo are shaved away.
    That leaves you with...a regular old plumbus"
