Tool Maybe Beyond My Skill Set And Needs

Hi Guys,
Yes some idiot keeps polishing it !

Apparently it is just loosing molecules on it's own. It is a slow process but the "powers that be" are getting worried about it.

I suppose if it gets to bad it would invalidate the metric system, then we might have to adopt something else. Better dust off the old yardstick. he, he, he.😎

So it looks like the meter isn't a meter anymore

I believe that the meter is a constant precise length that is (by definition) directly related to the speed of light in a vacuum. Also - speed is a distance and time relationship. The time portion of that relationship is defined using cesium-133 (atomic physics defines a second).
