A proposal to classify the radian as a base unit in the SI
Peter J. Mohr, William D. Phillips
TL;DR
This paper proposes redefining the SI system to treat the radian as a base unit, exploring the implications and details of this change.
Contribution
It introduces a novel proposal to classify the radian as a fundamental SI base unit, challenging current conventions.
Findings
Analysis of the implications for SI unit coherence
Discussion of potential benefits for scientific clarity
Examination of the practical consequences of the change
Abstract
We propose that the SI be modified so that the radian is a base unit. Some of the details and consequences of such a modification are examined.
