The ``new'' International System of Units

ORAL

Abstract

The CGPM has decided that, eventually, the ``explicit unit'' basis of the International System of Units (SI) will be replaced by the ``explicit-constant formulation,'' in which fixing certain physical constants will fix the base units exactly. How this is contemplated will be discussed in this talk.
