Well, I spent some time on Wikipedia looking up metric systems and
things like that because of you, and I found a page that shows how to
improve the current SI system by reducing the number of fundamental
units to only two ( S for space and T for time ), and it was a great
read. It even went so far as give a theory for the disapearance of the
dinosaurs!
You can even make S = cT (c=ligth of speed in void space).
The choice of fundamental units is rather arbitrary, and can be
reduced further to only 1 fundamental unit and even NO fundamental units.
There is a nice book about this subject by L. A. Sena: Units of
physical quantities and their dimensions (or similar, I don't have it
at hand to check the title).
