Every single base and derived SI unit named after a person is named after a man. There are 19 named SI units, and it is time that we named one after a woman. The derived unit for momentum, kg*m/s, is commonly used and a bit cumbersome as it stands. Emmy Noether made a key contribution to our understanding of the connection between symmetry and conservation laws (including conservation of momentum), so momentum is a natural choice for a unit named in her honor.
Please consider signing the petition to designate the "noether" as the SI unit for momentum.
