A centimeter is a unit of length.

And this is the 16 centimeter area.

So we measured to the nearest centimeter.

It's about a centimeter on the side.

Once again, it's not a square centimeter.

In this case, a one centimeter tumor.

There's a three centimeter mass in the liver.

These lichens grow only one centimeter every hundred years.

It's about this size here, it's about a centimeter.

So this is 9, obiviously this is to the nearest centimeter.

The maximum efficient distance for regeneration is only about one centimeter.

We know these corals grow about a centimeter and a half a year.

You get drunk on just one centimeter? And Kensuke was such a heavy drinker.

This part of the tower I was able to measure to the nearest centimeter.

Actually, if you just look at your thumbnail about a square centimeter there are something like 60 billion neutrinos per second from the sun, passing through every square centimeter of your body.

But in reality I only was able to measure the area to the nearest centimeter.

The brain is removed from the skull, and then it's sliced into one centimeter slices.

The universe has a constant energy density in terms of say, ergs per cubic centimeter.

This is like going from a little Trinitron 20 centimeter TV to buying a widescreen.

And we go straight through the centimeter that distance right over there is 14 centimeters.

For solid organs, they're more complex because you're using a lot more cells per centimeter.

So when you look at this bee, it's about this size here, it's about a centimeter.

So, we can use these smart biomaterials but only for about one centimeter to bridge those gaps.

What do we do when we have injuries for structures which are much larger than one centimeter?

In doing so we were able to localize Junior in the Darpa Urban Challenge with centimeter precision.

What you see here is another centimeter sized device, and the different colors are different colors of dye.

And so I get the carpet as on to the the nearest centimeter I get to be 1.69 meters.

Six centimeter of rainfall, and they can telephone you that if you find any water problem in your city,

What is the perimeter of the shape? Each square in the grid is a one by one centimeter square.

The amount of energy in each cubic centimeter remains the same, even as the universe gets bigger and bigger.

If you can find a tumor when it's less than a centimeter, survival exceeds 90 percent, but drops off rapidly as tumor size increases.

So let's say that I have a carpet here and I'm using a may be a meter stick to measure the carpet to nearest centimeter.

Remember, we could draw 7 rows, right, and each of them is going to have 4 square centimeters each of those is a square centimeter.

One unit that is often used is jansky which was introduced by radio astronomers and it's 10 ( 23) ergs per second per centimeter square per hertz.

The digital mammogram was read as normal and shows lots of dense tissue, but the MBI shows an area of intense uptake, which correlated with a two centimeter tumor.

In every little cubic centimeter of space, whether or not there's stuff, whether or not there's particles, matter, radiation or whatever, there's still energy, even in the space itself.

And it's a handy way to remember it that zero magnitude star corresponds to almost 1000 photons per square centimeter per second per angstrom and you can scale from there.

Converting that into grams per cubic centimeter and dividing it by the critical density gives us the omega in visible stellar populations and it's only about half a percent of the total.

The current value of the critical density, which is determined entirely by the value of the Hubble Constant is approximately ten 29 grams per cubic centimeter, i ncluding bulk matter, matter and energy.

So to make it clear the our measurement is only good to the nearest centimeter, because there is more error here, then... it might overwhelm or whatever the precision we had on the millimeters there.

let's say that I have a block, we draw that block a little bit neater, and let's say we have a pretty good meter stick, and we're able to measure to the nearest centimeter, we get, it is 2.09 meters.

For some time now, it's been known that if you pay attention to the carrier phase of the GPS signal, and if you have an Internet connection, then you can go from meter level to centimeter level, even millimeter level positioning.

let's say that every cubic centimeter or cubic meter of this glass sphere is filled with water and let's say it's not of glass, let's say it's a rubber sphere if I were to change the shape of that sphere but not change the volume

The problem is that, if I'm this doc, and I get your CT scan today and you've got a two centimeter mass in your liver, and you come back to me in three months and it's three centimeters, did that drug help you or not?

So I built this small sailing robot with the rudder at the front, and I was trying to pull something very long and heavy, so that's a four meter long object just to pull, and I was surprised with just a 14 centimeter rudder,
