If
The second is currently defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.
And
The meter is defined as 1⁄299 792 458 of a light-second.
Then
Why can't we use a new system that a 'unit of time' = the duration of 1 period of radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom, and a 'unit of linear measurement' = the distance of 1 light-'unit of time'?
The only value that I know is true to nature is 0 in Kelvin/Rankine, corresponding to absolute zero.
