To all the people who think the redefinition of the kilo to a universal constant isn't a big deal: Like Hank said, when you are thinking in terms of effective medicine doses, the unit of measurement has to be consistent because a tiny change to the kilogram is a massive change when you get down to the nano scale. It's the same principle as deflecting an asteroid by making tiny adjustments to it when it is very far out, because those changes translate to very significant changes the further the distance it has to travel. It's essentially the same thing but with weight. To deflect an earth-bound asteroid, you simply need to travel to it years in advance and park your craft near the asteroid, because the slight change in gravity that far out changes the trajectory a significant amount by the time it gets closer. Take Pi, for instance; when you are calculating small numbers, you don't need as many decimal places because for small numbers, the accuracy won't be changed any significant amount, but when you are calculating for really large numbers, you need more decimals of Pi to make the calculations more accurate.

I dir get that argument. If the kilogram prototype had had a drift of 50 micrograms in 129 years that means that 1 ng has also drifted by 50 billionths, which would be 50 fg. That small chance would not affect any medical dosage i'm aware of. So this drift can only have affected science where measurements have to be hyper exact.

It's good to have ever improving standards. But if it was that big a deal, doesn't it mean most of the measurements done in the last 50 years are wrong and need redoing?

I mean yeah, if you're measuring jet fuel, you don't care about fractions of a gallon in your tanks, but there's no reason for my InstaMash to call for three different measuring cups.

What is going to happen is that the method and methods used to measure the new standard will differ slightly which will mean the new standard won't be standard because it can't be exactly determined. Equipment manufactured at the same place will differ somewhat. The different observations will result in different observer effects also. Another question is how was it determined how much mass was lost by the standard weight? Was this done by estimation exfoliation based on what? Was it measured by other standard items which also may have degraded? How were the rates of the other objects compared degradation calculated?

Lunacy. The kilogram won't change... Until someone realizes that entropy will, over time, likely have an effect on how much energy undergoes change during the task off producing that measurement.

This is not how it works here in Brazil, 900g of meat can easily be 1kg in the scales, 750ml of milk can be 1 liter with the rest being water...

I enjoy coffee and its ability to help me wake up in the morning, but I hate the flavor of straight black coffee, and I require a moderate dose of creamer and sugar to go with it. How much does that conflict with those studies?
