The International System of Units (abbreviated "SI" from the French term) is the modern, widely-followed form of the metric system. It was developed in 1960 from the metre-kilogram-second (mks) system and replaces the centimetre-gram-second (cgs) system.
The SI system introduced several new units for physicals terms and continues to change to this day as forms of measurement expand.
