Re: Confused
If it were the standard unit, it would not be prefixed but have a unit of its own, as the meter, the liter, and so on. The true standard should be the base, unprefixed form (in this case, the gram). If this is inappropriate, then a new base unit should be declared that equals 1,000 grams (not unheard of; 1 Sv = 100 rem). So instead of calling it the kilogram, call it say the Higgs (Hg), after Peter Higgs after which many supported connections between mass and energy are named.
