Should America totally convert to the Metric System? Why do we continue to maintain two measuring systems in America? The introduction of the Metric System into the US went mostly unnoticed by the American public, but it may be neccessary for Americans to take a closer look at the Metric System, before simply accepting it as a replacement for our original English system of weights and measures.
Do you know that our US system of weights and measures was originally based upon the biblical cubit? That's right, the biblical cubit was a unit of measure based upon the size of the Earth. The original "Sacred Cubit" was a length equal to 25 British inches, and was also exactly equal to one 10 millionth part of the distance between the North Pole and the center of the Earth.
In 1790, a Catholic priest named Charles Talleyrand, who was a close friend and associate of an infamous world conqueror, visited the Paris Academy of Sciences in order to help establish a new worldwide system of weights and measures meant to replace the British system of weights and measures. This new French measuring system was based upon a new unit of measure known as the "meter." The meter (Greek: metron) was designed to be a counterfeit cubit, equal to one 10 millionth part of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator:
Cubit = 1/10,000,000th part of distance from N. Pole to Earth's Center
Meter = 1/10,000,000th part of distance from N. Pole to Earth's Equator
The original biblical cubit was a length equal to 25 English inches, or 7 "hands." The "hand" measure is still used today by people who raise horses, it is a length of just under 4 inches (3.58 inches to be exact), and was equal to the width of a man's hand, not including the thumb.. Since the cubit was an Earth-based measure, it was also used to parcel out land. The English "acre" was in fact originally a square of land measuring 100 cubits, or 2500 inches, per side. The modern US acre, still used on practically every land deed in America, varies only slightly from this original dimension.
Most Americans have never truly accepted the Metric System. Many Americans just plain don't like the Metric System, and can't even tell you why they don't like it. Americans still continue to refuse to give up their original British system of weights and measures, in spite of the fact that in 1975 the United States government signed on to the Metric Conversion Act. To this day, it remains a fact that the meter is a flawed unit of measure, since it's original basis was taken from a measurement made over the imperfect surface of the globe.
