...Système International (SI) of units recognises factors going up or down in steps of one thousand, although below a thousand factors of ten are also recognised. Thus all the factors shown in Tables 1 and 2 are recognised by the Système International. Although in the UK we still tend to use the mile when discussing large distances, the standard measure in most other...

...Système international), was chosen to match the duration of the astronomical second as measured by atomic clocks in 1958. Since 1972, a time scale derived from TAI, known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), has become the basis for all civil and scientific timekeeping. UTC attempts to keep in step with the rotation of the Earth by introducing an occasional ‘leap’...
