Good thought, but the copies are being weighed in the small local gravity field as the original.

That's it. Sarkozy brought gravitas.

I'm not sure if your comment is serious or not, but that's not possible. The scale measured the relative weight of two cylinders and that should stay constant regardless of any hypothetical change in gravitational pull.

Hm. True. Never thought of that. :)

I'd go for that explanation.

I doubt they're being 'weighed'. More likely placed on a balance beam and compared to the copy.

Hmm. Interesting point. There's a standard kilogram locked away in a box, but how do you lock away a standard g?
