time
Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. Time dictates all forms of action, age, and causality, being a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.
mass
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. In modern physics, it is generally defined as the strength of an object's gravitational attraction to other bodies - as measured by an observer moving along at the same speed.
electric current
flow of electric charge
length
Length is a measure of distance. In the International System of Quantities, length is a quantity with dimension distance. In most systems of measurement a base unit for length is chosen, from which all other units are derived. In the International System of Units (SI) system, the base unit for length is the metre.
amount of substance
extensive physical property
luminous intensity
luminous flux per solid angle in a given direction
SI base unit
one of the seven units of measurement that define the International System of Units
thermodynamic temperature
absolute measure of temperature
