>The definition of the kilogram for more than 130 years, the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), a cylinder of a platinum alloy stored at the BIPM in France, will now be retired. It will be replaced by the Planck constant
Maybe I interpreted it wrong (non-native English speaker), but does it say that the Kilogram will be equal to the Planck constant? Shouldn't it be that the definition of the Kg will be based on the Planck constant?
>Although the size of these units will not change (a kilogram will still be a kilogram)
Are our current measurements of the IPK that exact so the old kg is exactly equal to the new Kg? How can they measeure it with 0 error?. It doesn't make any sense to me.
