NEW VIDEO! The kg is finally being redefined!
Added 2018-11-15 19:28:17 +0000 UTCI feel like I've been waiting for this moment for six years or so. As of tomorrow (assuming a vote goes to plan) the kg will no longer be the mass of a metal cylinder.
Along with the kg, the kelvin, mole, and ampere will all get tweaks to tie them to fundamental constants.

That was a treat - I was wondering how redefining the kg could be worth a video. Thanks for conveying both the side effects and why you find it so fascinating. Great job.
2018-11-18 11:26:36 +0000 UTCYour conclusion, about why this is so important, despite appearing so "trivial" at first glance, is right on the point: It opens us, as a civilization, to the next level of measurements, and potentially, discoveries. Thanks for that video. :-)
