Part 1: My System of Units

This 14 minute section  describes a hypothetical system of units which is a bit like the SI, but in which all the units are named after my family and friends.

The idea is to show the structure of any system of units and to highlight some potential shortcomings.

It also emphasises the fact that systems of units are not ‘natural’. They have been created by people to meet our needs.
