the metric system
The metric system is accepted and used by all the scientists in the world, even American scientists, and it is also used for all measurement purposes in most of the world.
You think probable to the prototype of kilogram.
If I offered to sell you gold at a price of 100 dollars per glunk, would you buy some from me? Perhaps not if the guy along the street is selling it at 99 dollars per doinck. Perhaps you would demand a standard system of measurement?
25.4 mm is equal to one inch.Effective July 1, 1959, the United States and countries of the British Commonwealth defined the length of the international yard to be exactly 0.9144 meters. Consequently, the international inch is defined to be equal to exactly 25.4 millimeters.More information:This is the definition as it exist today, but through the times, from country to country, even from city to city within countries, the defined length of an inch have been varying slightly.It is also all the varying measure-methods and names that in turn have brought forward the metric system as a unified system of measurement for mostly all over the world.
it's actually a french invention The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French le Système international d'unités[1]) is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system devised around the convenience of the number ten. It is the world's most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science.[2][3] The older metric system included several groups of units. The SI was developed in 1960 from the old metre-kilogram-second system, rather than the centimetre-gram-second system, which, in turn, had a few variants. Because the SI is not static, units are created and definitions are modified through international agreement among many nations as the technology of measurement progresses, and as the precision of measurements improves.
That's the "Metric System".
