So I'm glad they fixed the problems of depending on kilogram sample object for anything, but the definitions are now bizarre if you want to learn them in reference to real-world things. How will they be taught now?
The Ampere went from being the thought experiment of two infinite wires 1m apart creating a certain force to being something nearly unintelligible to the average person.
The Kelvin was just turning 0C into absolute units, carefully formalized as the triple point of water which was actually 0.01C, and making it into absolute units. Now its something nearly intelligible to the public.
Another problem is I'm not entirely sure the atomic mass is quite defined anymore. That number at the bottom of each box of the periodic table of elements may not have a valid unit anymore??
