    Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?

    This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.

      To be clear, most science/advanced education in the US is conducted in SI units.

      Also, a year is about pi*10^7 seconds, which can be useful for back-of-the-envelopes.
