uncertainty in the final digits of the main number; for example, the number 1.6454(21) means 1.6454 { 0.0021. Values
shown without uncertainties are exact. The exact values of the magnitude of the charge of the electron, Planck’s constant, the
Boltzmann constant, Avogadro’s number, and the gas constant are from the redefinitions adopted in 2018. As consequences
of these redefinitions, the values of the magnetic constant and electric constant now have fractional uncertainties of about
2 * 10-10. As of this writing (2018) it was expected that updated values of the magnetic and electric constants, as well as
of all other constants with uncertainties, were to be announced in May 2019. These updated values will be available at
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu.
