    Pretty damn fascinating.

        So, in summary, it was made to redefine the definition of a kilogram?
        Good judgment comes from bad decisions and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

          The little devil that pops up on my shoulder could have easily convinced me to throw that against the flat fucking wall.

            I didn't realize that a kilogram could change depending on what the definition of the kilo is. Just because the object that is a kilogram changes, shouldn't mean that the kilo changes. I figured that once it's set, it should be a constant. I guess I was wrong.

              Well, I believe what they're saying is it isn't a set figure, because everything that is "set" it set according to a particular weight for calibration. I presume this is only an issue for extremely precise measurements (they are talking 90 micron differences in mass) but for calibration there must be a standard, and from what they are saying, there was no standard. This was created to effectively create the perfect standard.

                Crazy. To think that weight has suck a fluid concept is a bit tough to wrap the mind around.

                  That is how I understood it.

                    In order to remove the limitations of needing a physical reference, since the physical reference can change.
