I've wondered about that point myself, but how about
this angle? If you take a pendalum hanging from a string
and spin it, it goes a while in one direction. Then, to

Bronte,
You might find it interesting to google this issue. I'm thinking you
don't understand the difference between the magnetic poles switching
and the ball, that the earth is, suddenly switching the direction of
its spinning. It is apples and oranges. If the earth-ball switches,

There's many possible reasons the kilogram could be losing mass,
and they're only beginning to try to understand that.
What are some of the possible reasons?

Judy,
I'm not a scientist, but there are many reasons for a measurement to
change -- usually human error is involved. That would be my first
looksee at the issue. Could be something as goofy as the janitor
licks the bar when no one is looking. The missing mass is equal to
what a fingerprint

No, Judy, you didn't -- it was my way of saying that although I'm
interested

I've read other places that the earth is slowing losing its
magnetism (nothing mainstream here, but private unapproved
scientists have been saying so). Maybe that's related to the kilogram
thing somehow.

But why would it be affecting only that single kilogram
