Where is the best place to look up the official and latest values of all units of measure?

Wikipedia seems a little confused, and the other top rated sites according to BingorGoogle are even worse.

It’s all relative, just tell the other person they chose the wrong reference…

Thanks sibeenesselte. You are better than googlebing.

I’m still uncertain about the exact approximate value of the atomic unit, but I’m sure I’ll work it out.

Good link!

In the good old days, when stuck I would turn to the “Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data”.

“The Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by AIP Publishing on behalf of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The objective of the journal is to provide critically evaluated physical and chemical property data, fully documented as to the original sources and the criteria used for evaluation, preferably with uncertainty analysis.”
