Setting the standard for incredible accuracy and mind bending precision.
It's the League of SI Superheroes.
Today's episode, Mass Hysteria.

>> [SOUND] [NOISE]
Where am I?
What is the meaning of this?
>> [LAUGH] >> You won't get
away with this Major Uncertainty.
The SI- >> Is SI super heroes who'll
never find you here [FOREIGN] [LAUGH]
>> [NOISE] [FOREIGN]
>> Meanwhile,
12 meters below the National Institute of Standards and Technology, [SOUND].
>> Heating up the dice won't help Dr. Kelvin.
>> What?
Completely outrageous, I am a distinguished scientist.
>> We're all distinguished scientists, doctor.
>> Have any of you seen Monsieur Kilogram?
He asked me to help him work on his new machine today, but
I can't find him anywhere.
>> I saw him go into his lab this morning, he's not there?
>> No.
>> Curious.
>> Who turned off the alarm?
Have any of you been watching the screen?
>> We've been playing our game.
What's going on?
>> Everything that depends on mass is going haywire.
Medicines, groceries, even rocket engines.
[NOISE] >> Good to see you again super heroes.
>> Major Uncertainty, [SOUND] I thought something smelled fishy.
>> Hey, you try washing when you have as many armpits as I do.
>> We should've known you were behind this.
What have you done with Monsieur Kilogram?
>> Don't worry about him, we're just hanging out together.
Enjoy the chaos!
[LAUGH] [SOUND] >> No!
The whole world measures mass based on his kilogram!
>> But if we finish Mr. Kilogram's new machine, it would replace
the force from his kilogram with an equal force from super strong magnets.
And that should free him.
>> What are we waiting for?
Quickly, League of SI Superheroes, assemble!
Mole!
>> Professor Second!
>> Ms. Ampere!
>> Dr. Kelvin!
>> Meter Man!
>> Candela!
>> Yeah, let's get to work.
[MUSIC]
>> Hit the switch Meter Man!
>> With gusto.
>> Great work team!
Now we know the magnetic force it takes to hold a kilogram
against the Earth's gravity.
>> And look!
Everything is returning to normal.
[NOISE] >> [SOUND] Super!
[NOISE] But how?
>> They must have finished my Watt Balance.
>> But what about the kilogram?
>> This? [SOUND] You can keep it, I can make more.
[FOREIGN]
[MUSIC]
>> Another crisis averted, thanks to the power of measurement.
