the mass or weight
of a book do not change depending on whether someone is reading it or not.
Consequently, the same weight corrections need to be applied also if someone
*throws* the standard in a deep cave.
Beware: When the book is thrown at a large speed, the relativistic
effects must be taken into account. I hope that the editors took
pains to find a wording that will not upset anybody to the extend
that he would throw the book away at a considerable fraction of
the speed of light...
