Good news, dieters! The kilo is losing weight, changing all of science, but unfortunately we dont know why
2013-10-24 18:27:14| Extremetech
Deep below Paris, in a vault that can only be opened by the simultaneous turning of three keys held by three different people, is the international prototype kilogram -- the kilo against which all other kilos are based. The kilo is the last SI unit that is still defined by a physical artifact, rather than a constant of nature, but four of the seven SI units are fundamentally underpinned by the kilogram, making the international prototype extremely important... And yet worryingly, the international prototype is losing weight, changing science as we know it, and no one knows why.
