[time-nuts] SI Unit Problems

[ehydra]

I don't think that SI is the last system we see and that is for the 
decimal system too.
I see small problems like the definiton of mass as units of 1000xgrams 
and that the k is low but should be K to be consistent (M, G, etc).

But to think the american system is better must be a joke. Even the 
japanese changes all 40 years ago.

S/N is now almost at -infinitum.
