In our Introduction to Digital Humanities class, we’ve come to the conclusion that the values of Digital Humanities consist of: Collaboration
Experimentation
Openness
Diversity
Transparency <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which doesn’t come as a surprise, broad enough but not the complete story, so I’ll add one at my convenience and hard to argue. If “Openness” and “Transparency” can both be a value in all of its redundancy, why shouldn’t a metric of measurement that is constantly used in humanities be a value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much did stocks drop by when the economy crashed, how many years between a civilization’s start till the last words of its language being breathed, how many lives lost in a tragedy that sparks international backlash. There is a metric of which all of these are measured by, the metric of “universal constants” and that will be my addition to values, “constants”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the cold and calculated, Physics is based on the values of a physical constant, a degree for all universal benchmarks for calculations and comparisons to be measured by. Constants including: elementary charge (1.602 \u00d7 10\u207b\u00b9\u2079 C), the gravitational constant (6.674 \u00d7 10\u207b\u00b9\u00b9 N\u00b7m\u00b2\/kg\u00b2), and Avogadro’s number (6.022 \u00d7 10\u00b2\u00b3 mol\u207b\u00b9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that being said, how different is the question of “how many mols are in a gram of NaCl?” from “how many people are live on twitch at a given time?”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
