If the Pavillon de Breteuil\u201d \u2014 where the IPK is stored \u2014 \u201cburned down tomorrow and the kilogram in its vaults melted, we would have no reference left for the world\u2019s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all. And that\u2019s just not good enough for international science.\u201d [x<\/a>]<\/p>\n
