Kilogram Redefined

Quote:Currently, it is defined by the weight of a platinum-based ingot called "Le Grand K" which is locked away in a safe in Paris.

On Friday, researchers meeting in Versailles voted to get rid of it in favour of defining a kilogram in terms of an electric current.

And about bleeding time, and all.  The standard kilogram is off by about 50 parts in a billion.  This is killing my heroin profits.
