What problems are there in maintaining and using a metal bar as the primary length standard as was done before the meter was redefined in 1983?
Maintaining a metal bar as a length standard is challenging due to its susceptibility to wear, corrosion, and thermal expansion, leading to measurement inaccuracies. Moreover, transportation and handling of a physical bar pose risks of damage or deformation, affecting its precision. The reliance on a single physical object also lacks the versatility and reproducibility offered by defining the standard through a universally reproducible physical constant.

Where is the standard of measurement kept?
There are several standards of measurement: weight, length, time to name a few. The standard for weight is the kilogram. The standard was made in London and has been stored in Paris since 1889. See this NPR article for a recent update (8/20/2009): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112003322 The standard for length is the meter, or metre. Until 1983, this standard was a platinum-iridium bar that rested next to the kilogram standard at the French Academy of Sciences. In 1983, the metre was redefined as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter The standard for time is the second. "Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined in terms of radiation emitted by caesium atoms." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time Most standards are abstracts, with qualities or characteristics not affixed to a particular object or instance, such as a number. These standards have no place to be kept, except in the imagination of those who conceive of them.
What actors and actresses appeared in meters - 1983?

Why is a meter the length it is?
The metre was originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator, at sea level along the meridian that passed through Paris. Unfortunately, improvements in metrology meant that a measure that was meant to be a standard was not constant! So, in 1983 it was re-defined as the distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second
