	SI base unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The unit of mass is equal to the mass of the international prototype kilogram (a platinum-iridium cylinder) kept at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Sèvres, Paris (1st CGPM (1889), CR 34-38).
		The unit of time is the duration of exactly 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at a temperature of 0 K (13th CGPM (1967-1968) Resolution 1, CR 103).
		The unit of length is equal to the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during the time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second (17th CGPM (1983) Resolution 1, CR 97).

	SI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Based on the findings of this study, the 10th CGPM in 1954 decided that an international system should be derived from six base units to provide for the measurement of temperature and optical radiation in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic quantities.
		The six base units recommended were the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin degree (later renamed the kelvin), and the candela.
		Since most non-SI units, such as the U.S. customary units, are nowadays defined in terms of SI units, any change in the definition of the SI units results in a change of the definition of the older units as well.

		Unit: ampere (A) The ampere is that constant electrical current (or flow) which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10

		The candela is one of two base units (the other being the ampere) that is not defined purely in terms of base units.

	Milligram
		The kilogram or kilogramme, (symbol: kg) is the SI base unit of mass.
		Since 1889, the SI system defines the unit to be equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram, which is made from an alloy of platinum and iridium of 39 mm height and diameter, and is kept at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (International Bureau of Weights and Measures).

	Essentials of the SI: Base & derived units
		The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent, as given in Table 1.
		Examples of such SI derived units are given in Table 2, where it should be noted that the symbol 1 for quantities of dimension 1 such as mass fraction is generally omitted.
		For a graphical illustration of how the 22 derived units with special names and symbols given in Table 3 are related to the seven SI base units, see relationships among SI units.

		I don't really understand why it needs to be a base unit at all; it seems lie a better base unit would be 1.
		Ampere, a base unit, is defined in terms of a Newton, which is not a base unit?
		I am not a physicist, but I don't really see any problem with defining base units in terms of non-base units — as long as there are no circular references — since those non-base units are in turn defined in terms of base units.

	BIPM - SI
		The base units are a choice of seven well-defined units which by convention are regarded as dimensionally independent: the metre, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin, the mole, and the candela.
		Derived units are those formed by combining base units according to the algebraic relations linking the corresponding quantities.
		The names and symbols of some of the units thus formed can be replaced by special names and symbols which can themselves be used to form expressions and symbols of other derived units.
