    They counted the atoms?
    Didn’t they just took the mol mass and calculated it? (Not sure if mol mass is the right term… School chemistry is a long time ago…)
    And I don’t see how we even should be able to count them.
    Would be really interested, if it happened that way, how they did it.

          Ironic how the US wants to define the kilogram while the majority refuses to use it.
