Was, was, was. There is nothing to 'cast upon' anymore.
With the redefinition of the kilogram in 2018
those measurements have become irrelevant.

Specious argument.

When the kilogram was defined in terms of a metal artifact held in
vaults in Paris, it was a legitimate question whether the mass of said
artifact varied over time, even though by definition it was _the_
kilogram. As a matter of fact, that mass was found to vary despite its
being the basis as the definition of kilogram.

The mere fact that E = mc^2 holds exactly according to our present

experiments intended to check whether the assumptions that have led to
the adoption of our current set of standards are correct.

So you haven't understood what it is all about.
I rest my case,
