  metre
       
           (US "meter") The fundamental SI unit of length.
       
          From 1889 to 1960, the metre was defined to be the distance
          between two scratches in a platinum-iridium bar kept in the
          vault beside the Standard Kilogram at the International Bureau
          of Weights and Measures near Paris.
       
          This replaced an earlier definition as 10^-7 times the
          distance between the North Pole and the Equator along a
          meridian through Paris; unfortunately, this had been based on
          an inexact value of the circumference of the Earth.
       
          From 1960 to 1984 it was defined to be 1650763.73 wavelengths
          of the orange-red line of krypton-86 propagating in a vacuum.
       
          It is now defined as the length of the path traveled by light
          in a vacuum in the time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
