That's cool, although it makes me ponder what would happen in the event of a societal collapse. Imagine the technology necessary to derive these definitions, compared to just having a platinum brick. I'm not saying that means we shouldn't do this, I just think it's an interesting thought how advanced and impenetrable science has become. It's literally impossible to be up to date on every subject in any meaningful way. It boggles the mind.
