Hmn...

You'd need to redefine the derived SI Units, or take new measurements for newly derived units. Newtons, joules, pascals, hertz, coulombs, watts, volts, ohms, farads, siemens, webers, teslas, henrys, becquerels, grays, sieverts, and katals.

Also not to mention motion and heat.

You could say there's a large amount of pressure to not change, or that it's a high "bar"...

I hope you smiled, because that is one joke I will not be making again.

    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.
