Autre banger de ouf
Le K35, la copie française du kilo étalon les gens.
Encore utilisé celui ci (c'est à partir de lui qu'on commence la dissémination du kg en France) le BIPM donne le décalage de cet étalon par rapport au kg établi par consensus (via les balances de kibble)

The BIPM will fuck him up. He may have his high T warfighters but they ain't shit compared to a 40 year long career scientist defending his patch.

Exactly. Check out the thermal torque in section 7 of this paper we just published.

Gravity measurements are an exercise of chasing ghosts

Also, it was very exciting to share the bittersweet news that NZ's chief metrologist Dr Annette Koo will soon leave Aotearoa, having been named Director Designate of Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) - the global home of measurement.

Metrology on breakfast television?! YES PLEASE. Delighted to have helped make this happen! Dr Annette Koo (pictured) will shortly depart for Paris where she'll become the Director of BIPM, the global home of measurement share.google/XrzUSia2lDYX... 🧪👩‍🔬⚛️

Incredible timing

The BIPM in France has a vault where they store the reference for one kilogram*, and if you peer behind it there's a bottle of Lee & Perrins, the reference for Worcestershire sauce. Maybe I just made this fact up, but maybe I didn't.

Want to have more time nightmares? The BIPM plans to redefine UTC by 2035 to avoid leap seconds for at least 100+ years, because otherwise we’d learn the hard way how well the world’s computers would handle the *first-ever negative leap second*

eu jurava que a Isso era uma organização intergovernamental tipo o BIPM (responsáveis pelo sistema internacional de unidades) ou sei lá a Unesco e a ONU

Aujourd'hui, + de 400 horloges atomiques battent la seconde de par le monde. Les mesures sont centralisées au Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) à Sèvres. C'est là qu'est distribué le temps universel coordonné, ou UTC, cad l’heure officielle de notre monde moderne, basée sur le césium

How long is a second? Do you know how it's defined? Did you know it might soon be re-defined? Three cheers for optical lattice clocks! 🧪 ⚛️

The BIPM International Prototype Croissant. Too important for a mere patisserie, it has to be kept in a vault in Saint-Cloud, just outside Paris.

To be the Director of BIPM is to hold the top job in the world of metrology. Annette will become the first woman and the first New Zealander to hold the role in BIPM’s 150-year history. I've worked with Annette for years. She's incredible, will do a wonderful job, and I'll miss her terribly!

<whisper>Golden Retrievers don't actually all weigh *precisely* 65 lbs. It's not a unit standardized by NIST or BIPM</whisper>
Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system.

Wie ihr wisst, hat man sich international auf die Definition des kg geeinigt.
Aber:
Das muss ja auch gemessen werden. Das wird so gemacht, dass verschiedene Staaten das gleichzeitig versuchen, und man nimmt den Mittelwert.
