A possible answer to the mystery of the shrinking “master” kilogram would be to measure the weight of the “master” kilogram at the exact same time of the year as when it was originally weighed. The speed of the planet, relative to the sun, varys throughout the year, therefore the “master” kilogram’s; inertial mass and weight will also vary throughout the year. The earth’s energy level, relative to space, varys (space energy level) in proportion to its speed relative to the sun. According to my theory the “master” kilogram should be slightly more massive in July (aphelion) then it is in January (perihelion).
I don’t know how they weigh it with such precision but it cannot be with a balance scale since the balancing weight would also be heavier. Naturally at this level of precision, the latitude and the locale’s gravity strength must also be taken into careful consideration.
