Who Developed The Metric Method Of Measurements And Units And What Led Him/her To This Standard?
Most of the civilized world uses the metric system for measuring nearly everything (except the US, and that shouldn't surprise anyone). When was this system developed and by whom? What was the basis for this all-encompassing method for measurement?


Beautiful and exact. Thank you. Of course, being an American living in Australia I find having a background in the inch-pound way of thinking can be detrimental at times ... but I'm learning the value of simply shifting the decimal point. Oh, those French folks have more going for them than just good wine, tasty cheese and the invention of love.
