    The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and Δν Cs. —

    kg mass "The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m 2 s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆ν Cs."

    The Planck time, denoted t P, is defined as: = = This is the time required for light to travel a distance of 1 Planck length in vacuum, which is a time interval of approximately 5.39 × 10 −44 s. No current physical theory can describe timescales shorter than the Planck time, such as the earliest events after the Big Bang. [ 30 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrgyzstan_Time

    Kyrgyzstan Time (KGT)is the time zone of Kyrgyzstan. [1] It is +6:00 hrs ahead of Universal Coordinated Time ( UTC+06:00 ). Kyrgyzstan does not observe daylight saving time .

  6. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    The unit of time should be the second; the unit of length should be either the metre or a decimal multiple of it; and the unit of mass should be the gram or a decimal multiple of it. Metric systems have evolved since the 1790s, as science and technology have evolved, in providing a single universal measuring system.

    During that time, the IPK and its duplicates were used to calibrate all other kilogram mass standards on Earth. The IPK is a roughly golfball-sized object made of a platinum–iridium alloy known as "Pt‑10Ir", which is 90% platinum and 10% iridium (by mass) and is machined into a right-circular cylinder with height equal to its diameter of ...

  8. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  9. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    1 unit of pressure = 1 unit of force / (1 unit of length) 2 = 1 unit of mass / (1 unit of length × (1 unit of time) 2) 1 Ba = 1 g/(cm⋅s 2) 1 Pa = 1 kg/(m⋅s 2). Expressing a CGS derived unit in terms of the SI base units, or vice versa, requires combining the scale factors that relate the two systems:
