There is nothing meaningful about this. I can change the unit system to make g any value I want (this is done all the time in research). I try really hard to ignore all the physics-related articles posted here but this one is too egregious. It's not the usual thing where the author know nothing about the nouns they are using (enter, quantum). In this case the concepts are fairly simple. The fact that units can be freely changed should be taught in middle school.

Somehow I found programmers have a much higher probability of talking about physics than people in other professions. And unfortunately in all cases I've seen, they have no idea what they are talking about. Unlike programming, physics is hard enough that it needs to be studied in classes.
