SI stands for the French système international. It is basically the international system
of units. The system was created to be a coherent consolidation of all the forms of
measurements. Because it is a universal system used by everyone internationally (except
Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA) it means conversions are usually not necessary.
Conversions between units also become easier because the system was designed
that way (notice how factors are nearly always powers of 10).
