| Abstract | ||||
| Large and tiny measurable numbers can be stated on a human size with the aid of SI prefixes while still using SI units. Here are the reasons for the widening of the existing domain of SI prefixes, also suggesting the names and symbols for the multipliers 1030(quetta), 1027(ronna), 10-27(ronto) and 10-30(quecto).The 27th CGPM in 2022 voted to increase the number of SI prefixes that were accessible. The implementation in the SI Brochure, communication, and promotion are successful. It is suggested that there are only potential advantages to broadening the scope of SI prefixes. The new prefixes won't confuse or harm anyone; instead, they will become widely used and familiar among people who require them. However, individuals who don't use them won't ever get familiar with them. Still there will expansion for SI prefixes as the fast running of science and technology and to convey this rapid development in technology . | ||||
