UK scientists working towards a redefinition of the kilogram
Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have released new
research results that could affect how we measure a kilogram - the last SI unit based on a manufactured object. http://theanalystmagazine.com/pr/401091.htm |

UK scientists working towards a redefinition of the kilogram
It says: The value of Planck's constant calculated from the latest NPL results is 6.62607095(44) x 1034 J s [66 x 109]. This value of Planck's constant differs by 308 nW/W from the result published by NIST in 2007 of 6.62606891(24) x 1034 J s. mmm, changes over time? measurement errors? systematic errors? h is a constant it means that dh/dt = 0, an universal constant can't change over times (if it is correctly defined) Probably an instrumental error or a systematic one is the better explanation. Are we (they) sure that only last two digits are affected by statistical error in both cases? [P.S.: Sorry for my bad english] Q |
