History of the metric system levels of the krypton 86 atom as the new standard for the metre. The standard metre artefact was retired. In 1960, Giorgi's proposals were adopted as the basis of the "Système International d'Unités" (International System of Units), the SI. This initial definition of the SI included six base units, the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, degree Kelvin and candela, and sixteen coherent derived units. The evolution of the SI after its publication in 1960 has seen the addition of a seventh base unit, the "mole", and six more derived units, the "pascal" for pressure, the "gray", "sievert" and "becquerel" for radiation,
Geometrized unit system have the geometric dimension of "length". Physical quantities such as angular momentum which can be identified with the magnitude of a bivector have the geometric dimension of "area". Here is a table collecting some important physical quantities according to their dimensions in geometrized units. They are listed together with the appropriate conversion factor for SI units. This table can be augmented to include temperature, as indicated above, as well as further derived physical quantities such as various moments. Geometrized unit system A geometrized unit system or geometric unit system is a system of natural units in which the base physical
