Do not touch.....................
Ah-
Red Matter
About 20 or so years ago, maybe more, I read that NIST was working of an electrical standard for MASS using a giant coil as an electro-magnet.....
I wonder if they ever succeeded?...................
ah, dark matter. That thing that was invented out of whole cloth to make the numbers work so the big bang can hold together as a theory....We have been looking for the “missing matter” ever since then...why, that’s it, it must be “dark matter” that we cannot see!
So now we have our new super sensitive detector - and if we detect any disturbance in the EM force, why that’s GOT to be chalked up to dark matter.
And they say religion requires faith..
In order to redefine the kilogram, a change that will be implimented on May 20, 2019, the General Conference on Weights and Measures required at least three experiments to calculate the Planck constant to an uncertainty of no more than 50 parts per billion, one of which must calculate the value to within an uncertainty of 20 parts per billion.
The international silicon sphere effort has become precise enough to achieve an uncertainty of only 10 parts per billion, and four Kibble balance measurements also produced values within the required uncertainty.
And as a result of all these measures, much more than the kilogram is about to change.
The New International System of Units
More than redefining the kilogram, the 26th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) is setting a fixed value for the Planck constant, and as a result, enacting the largest transformation of the International System of Units since its inception in 1960.
Previously, Planck’s constant was measured incessantly, averaged with other measurements across the world, and a list of new values was delivered to research institutions every few years.
“No one will measure the Planck constant once this [vote] has passed, because its value will have been defined,” Davis says.
In addition to the Planck constant, the Avogadro constant will be set at a fixed value, as will the elementary charge (e, the charge of one proton), and the triple point of water (the temperature at which water can exist as a solid, liquid or gas, to be defined as 273.16 degrees Kelvin, or 0.01 degrees C).
By setting the Planck constant as an absolute value, scientists are turning away from conventional mechanical measurements and adopting a suite of quantum electrical measurements to define our fundamental units. Once the constant is defined, it can be used to calculate a range of masses from the atomic level to the cosmic, leaving behind the need to scale the IPK down into smaller measurable parts, or up to enormous masses.
dark matter matters
About the only thing they didn’t mention was finding the usual missing sock and/or Jimmy Hoffa...
Although it is disappointing that it won’t allow direct experimental verification of other fake science like string theory, super-string theory, beauty, or the multiverse...
Ahh... Those halcyon days of scrambling around during either grant renewal time or the federal budget-cycle preparation...
Both of those are the principal drivers of fundamental research ideas over these past 60-years...
What they mean by “time reversal” is that the effect would precede the cause. Sorry, that is not logical. Before and after is defined by cause and effect.
Humans cannot step out of the cause-effect continuum. Only God is outside that continuum, and is not bound by time, or a rigid cause-effect sequence.
So, the Planck constant is finally constant!.............Thank you!...............
BS!
It could be a dark matter sensor... if dark matter were more than just a mathematical construct to fill in a question mark to make faulty equations balance.
They need to fix the theory before making up more fairy tales.
At the quantum level, there is no discernable information difference between past events and future events.
For the Faithful... the quantum part of our Reality IS God.
LOL... Perfect. :-)
