What is a barleycorn?

A barleycorn is a historic unit of length equal to one third of an inch, originally based on the size of a grain of barley and often found in traditional British measurements.

What does the fermi measure?

The fermi is a very small unit of length equal to one femtometre, used to express distances at the scale of atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Why convert barleycorn to fermi?

Converting barleycorn to fermi helps translate traditional British length units into extremely small scales needed for nuclear and particle physics research.
