    You don’t need to redefine any of them if you don’t change the length of a second though, right? Because the SI unit for time is the second?

    As long as you just change the definition for non-SI units, sure kilometers or miles per hour changes, but that’s not SI, so nobody cares.

      There are (roughly) 86400 seconds in a day. This metric time describes a day with 100000 seconds. If you don’t redefine the second, then I guess we’ll just redefine the day, right?

        100 seconds to a minute, 96 minutes to an hour, 9 hours in a day?? Metric with rounding.
