Weren't we trying to define a kilogram?

well, enough carbon moles would add up to a kilogram.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

A mole is defined by the number of carbon-12 molecules in 12g of carbon, not the other way round.

Aren't Kg mass times velocity? That same object would weigh more somewhere else. (Such as higher or lower)

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Nope, Kg is a measure of mass.  Weight is measured in Newtons.

I could have sworn that was liters, correct me as I'm probably wrong.

Fortunately, since litres are derived from metres, they don't have a silly definition.  Phew.

Uh, anyone who's sad is free to rerail.  I might've messed up this thread a bit.

Mass x velocity is Ns (Newton-seconds, or kg m/s)

As a physics major, it makes me sad to realize that there are people who don't know this. It makes me sadder to realize that's okay.

... I'm sad that I just realized physics is one of the few fields I'm happy to know nothing about.  Like, I'm actually glad/mildly proud that I know next to nothing about physics, which is really kind of shockingly pathetic for a math major.

On the other hand, it's pure math... so who cares?

The only physics I bothered to learn are how portals affect forward momentum, or more accurately, how they do not.
Or, in terms that can be understood: Speedy-thing-goes-in, speedy-thing-come-out.

That's true, although... not really relevant to anything anyone said?
