Furthermore, measurement units for characteristics such as litres (for volume) are directly related to metres while others such as newtons (for force, and = kilogram*metre /second2) depend on the metre along with other units). All of these would need to be re-defined, new standard measures agreed. This new set of units would then have to be learned by everyone. And for what?
