A quick search on google gives multiple answers from 3.7 to 3.8 meters per sec^2. That gives a cubit length(roughly) of 20.39 to 20.95 inches.

I guess your ego stroking Barone digits auto-adjust then.

Which value did you use for the gravity constant of Mars to get your impressively "EXACT" value? What reference?

I haven't created a cubit Don. I don't need to stroke my ego. As far as why yours is wrong it's glaringly simple.

You created it NOT the AE culture. Yours might be close to the same length as the one used but as you constantly holler to the others "where's the cubit from the 3rd/4th dynasty to support your choice to use?".

Making one up, no matter how close to the accepted/measured is not the AE cultures cubit. Using a made up cubit just makes your already ludicrous fantasies even more unbelievable.

So do I choose your made up EGO cubit or one based on acceptable measurement-based deduction? Hmmmm That's a hard one!

Heck if we are making up cubit lengths I want 20.853707357552283693114160485419 ". It's less then a 1/4" off your wonderful Phi cubit not much difference there.
