Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 21 April 2023 is International System of Quantities.
The International System of Quantities (ISQ) consists of the quantities used in physics and in modern science in general, starting with basic quantities such as length and mass, and the relationships between those quantities. This system underlies the International System of Units (SI) but does not itself determine the units of measurement used for the quantities. It is inherently incomplete because the number of quantities is potentially infinite.
The system is formally described in a multi-part ISO standard ISO/IEC 80000, first completed in 2009 and subsequently revised and expanded.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Friday, 21 April 2023.
For the full current version of the article, see International System of Quantities on Wikipedia.
