As I point out in my physics tutorial,
the best mass standard would be:

1. To set the Earth's mass to some convenient, simple, constant.
( It would be handy to set the Earths mass
to an even harmonic of the metric mass.)

2. To reference all other masses to the Earth's mass,
in terms of powers of ten.

Once you set the Earth's mass to a constant,
this automatically sets the value of "G" to a constant.

"G", like "C" is a useless constant.

"C" is just a number used to
differentiate between time periods and time intervals,
and to express time intervals in terms of some kings body parts.

"G" is just a number used to differentiate
between bodies PERCEIVED to be varying in media (Time/space),
from bodies PERCEIVED to be fixed in media,
