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? Or are we going to have two versions of the kg and a conversion factor? Or has the estimated 50 ppb drift already been factored in and is that OK?

Sprouts don't taste bitter to me at all so I am suggesting that the bitterness that you apparently experience doesn't come from the tastebuds but from your olfactory system. I've never heard about sprouts tasting bitter to anyone before. To me, they taste a little like broccoli and have a texture similar to wilted cabbage.

I can eyeball 50ml fairly accurately, if I don't want to look up three different conversions then I actually have to break out the measuring cups. That's an extra step -- totally un-American! 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. I've personally never experienced any benefit from using the Imperial volumetric units as opposed to the SI units, let alone units for mass, force, or anything else.

Edit: They also chose the grave (not the gram) as the standard unit because at the time the gram was too hard to measure accurately.

I've never been able to tolerate coffee; it tastes like brown sludge to me. I hate it, but have to drink it occasionally for the caffeine's painkilling effects for migraines. (Doesn't always work, which is the shitty part, but w/e.) But I LOVE tea. (and Brussels sprouts lol) Really, to each their own, I guess. 👍

maybe the reason I like caffeine-rich soda is b/c I've been drinking it since I was very young and that's where my brain sees the positive feedback. I'm so sensitive to bitter that someone spraying canned air across the room from me will make me gag and taste bitter for a long while after

I wonder why they didn't reset the base unit of mass to be the gram at the same time. I understand why they picked the kilogram back then, the scale of the object being easier to manage at the time. Its the only metric unit I can think of where the base is defined as a prefixed measure (meter, litre, second, amp, mole, etc)

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?

What about plank's constant having some uncertainty in the actual value of plank's constant? I think they also decided to set that to a specific value too in order to use it as part of the definition of the kg but that doesn't really sound like a good idea.

Even if I were to accept that ,in a verse that is considered to be infinite, there is a minimum energy. If we are willing to accept that there may be other verses with other natural laws then we must accept that the minimum value of energy could change without altering the mass of matter in this verse. Therefore you can not logically claim that we will "NEVER" need a new standard.

Re: "Bitter Sweet". I drink black unsweetened coffee, and quinine-flavoured softdrinks (bitter lemon, tonic water). To my taste, most commercial quinine drinks are oversweetened. I also have paradoxical reaction to caffeine: it makes me sleepy. So...Scientists need to think harder and not just assume we're drug seeking. ;p

So if they changed the value of a kilogram to be derived from plancks constant, doesnt that just kick the problem down the road? Plancks constant is experimentally derived, meaning it has an inherent uncertainty to it and if the kilogram is defined off of it then it to will have an uncertainty.
