I thought they only had one guy there who could polish the thing and get the same measured value within 10 micrograms every time. Maybe he’s losing his touch.

Blame GLOBAL WARMING. The shift in the water from ice to liquid is OBVIOUSLY now making our gravity unstable and pretty soon we may all end up floating away...............away.....help!

The article neglects to tell us that the original designer of the cylinder was Jenny Craig.
All kidding aside,it does make one ponder.

...The cylinder was high-tech for its day in 1889 when cast from a platinum and iridium alloyDid they ever do a chemical analysis of the alloy? Radioactivity and radioisotopes hadn't been discovered yet in 1889, and traces of radioisotopes within the cylinder may have been present.

So a Kilo will weigh nothing in 2.5 billion years?
What are we going to use to weigh things for the remaining 2.5 billion years before the sun explodes?
To: presidio9
I would think the copies gaining a minuscule amount would be the more likely culprit. We're talking 50 ug here, so the ones being moved around, packed, shipped, handled, etc. would probably be the ones to vary, IMHO.

I believe when one takes into account the polarity and the radioactivity in conjunction with the viscosity and its effect on the relativity of the cylinder one must conclude that the elasticity and the capacity of the gravitivity completely dissipates the magnetivity of the weight minus the diffractivity you can only come up with a lighter object.
Apologies to Prof. Irwin Corey. ;o)

That is actually impossible, since The Kilogram always weighs 1 kilogram. Therefore, all other kilogram weights, and possibly all other objects on Earth have increased in weight. Wait...um...no, that’s right.
Did any one else get that Intro to Physics question about how could you tell if the dimension of ever object in the universe was suddenly reduced by 50%?

Find the lb. weight and recalibrate.
I never liked this metric business in the first place.

Silliness - clearly the scale that came up with the 50 microgram difference is off. !-)
