The diameter and height of the Le Grand K are measured in INCHES? That sure makes sense.

My hunch is the universal gravitational constant isn’t.

My hunch is the universal gravitational constant isn’t.

I'm going to find it hard to get used to formulas like:

s = .5 * YeaMuch ** 2

Amen to that. Maybe I'm not so nuts after all. See my tagline.

When they are compared, they are in the same room and therefore subject to the same gravitational field.

This isn’t a fluctuation in weight... its a fluctuation in mass which results in a fluctuation in weight.

Why isn’t a KG a unit of measure based on a volume of water? This would be universal, instead they went the other way and said a 1000g of water = 1 KG or 1gram = 1 millileter

If they had decided on a universal volume container, and declared that much of a purified liquid is 1 KG they wouldn’t be having this problem.
