x=y
2x=2y

Metres and millimetres are measured using the speed of light and time, a metre being roughly one three hundred millionth of a light-second (the distance light travels in a second.) Both time and the speed of light would be unaffected if everything doubled in size, so a milli/metre would still be the same size it was previoulsy.

Well I'm still not convinced to be honest, but we'll never settle it here.

I'm going to email a scientist and find out. I'm going to start googling NASA scientists and ask one of them.

Then we will know definitively.

What bit are you not convinced about?
