# The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum
# during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.
meter = [length] = m = meters = metre = metres

#  The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the
# international prototype of the kilogram.
kilogram = [mass] = kg = kilograms

# The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation
# corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of
# the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.
second = [time] = s = seconds

# The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two
# straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible
# circular cross-section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would
# produce between these conductors a force equal to 2e-7 newton per
# meter of length.
ampere = [current] = A = amperes

# The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction
# 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of
# water.
kelvin = [temperature]; offset: 0 = K = kelvins

# The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as
# many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of
# carbon 12. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be
# specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other
# particles, or specified groups of such particles.
mole = [substance] = mol = moles

# The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a
# source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540e12 hertz
# and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per
# steradian.
candela = [luminosity] = cd = candelas
