So while you are counting to 9,192,631,770 cesium hyperfines , you have to divide by 299,792,458.

So at the end of the day, a meter is how far light travels in a vacuum while a cesium 130 atom shakes its booty 30.6633189884984 times.

Sounds messy.

All sex is messy ... even "sex" as it occurs for guys who spend 40 years trying to invent a mass-free kilogram scale.
