A meter (length) was originally defined as a fraction of the distance from the North Pole (geographic not magnetic) to the equator passing thru Paris, France. One hundredth of a meter is a centimeter, cm, which was used to make a volume of 1 cm3 which was defined to be a milliliter (volume). If this was a volume of water it was defined as 1 gram (mass). So mass, volume, and length were connected. NOT time and temperature.
