SI stands for System Internationale. It allows for standardised units for certain measurements that can be understood all over the world. Whereas stones, pounds and ounces were used to weigh everything in Britain, the SI kg is coming into force. SI units are essential for science. For example, in chemistry, we wouldn't dream of using the Fahrenheit scale for measuring temperature. Either Celsius or the SI Kelvin are used instead.
