History of the metric system
The idea of creating a unified system of measures originated in the 16th – 17th centuries. Simon Stevin and John Wilkins proposed a decimal notation based on natural units. During the years of the French Revolution, the existing system was temporarily replaced by a new one, with kilograms and meters. Everyone understood the need for universal and understandable units of measurement.
The main values were taken from the natural world, the standards of the meter and liter were stored at the Académie des sciences. In the mid-19th century, James Maxwell proposed three basic units of length, mass, and time. In 1875, the Convention du Mètre was signed. The International System of Units (SI) was introduced in 1960, it contained six basic units (meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, candela) and 22 more derived units.
