如果提案被通過，國際單位制7個基本單位中的4個，即千克、安培、開爾文和摩爾將全部改由自然常數定義。這將是1875年《米制公約》簽署以來，國際測量體系面臨的最重大變革，對科技創新、產業發展影響深遠。以下宣傳片由美國國家標準與技術研究院（NIST）出品：

附旁白：

Our home.
我們的家園
We’ve come so far…
我們遠道而來……
But how did we get here?
可我們是怎么到達這里的呢？
Measurements.
測量
As humans, we learned how to measure beforewe learned to write.
身為人類的我們
在學會書寫之前首先學會了測量
Through measurement we learned to count.
通過測量，我們學會了計數
We used the sun to tell time
我們通過太陽來計時
and based units of length and weight on other earthly objects.
并用地球上的其他物體建立了
長度和重量的單位
Measurementshelped us to become merchants, builders, astronomers,navigators, engineers, and scientists.
測量幫助我們成為商人，建筑師，天文學家，航海家，工程師和科學家
The need for better measurements grew with each invention.
每項新發明都需要更精確的測量
With the adoption of standardized measurements we created the global economy.
統一的測量體系造就了現在的全球經濟
Today, we have reached a pivotal point for humanity.
今天，我們來到了人類文明的一個關鍵節點
We no longer have to rely on physical objects for precision measurements.
我們不再需要靠實物進行精準的測量
The rules of nature operate smoothly from the invisible quantum world to the far reaches of the universe
無論是隱形的量子世界
還是浩瀚杳渺的宇宙
自然法則放之而皆準
and so should our measurements.
對于測量而言也是如此
For the first time, all of the world’s measurement units will be accurately defined by nature’s fundamental laws.
第一次，世界上所有的測量單位都將用自然界的基本法則來準確定義
In 2018, the world’s science community will come together at Versailles to advance measurement science for generations to come.
2018年，全球科學家將齊聚凡爾賽
為了子孫后代，共同推進測量科學的發展
Anyone anywhere will now be able to precisely measure mass,temperature, electrical current and amount of substance just as accurately as we already measure time and distance.
任何人在任何地方
都將能夠精確地測量質量、溫度、
電流以及物質的量
和我們現在測量時間、距離一樣準
We’ve come so far…
我們遠道而來……
…and,if history is any indication of the future,
……如果歷史可以預示未來
