Weights and measures form an essential part of our ingrained view
of the world. It is just about impossible to function effectively
without some internalized system of measurement. In this volume, I
outline a history of the science of measurement, and the origin of
the International System of Units ('SI'). The simplicity and
coherence of the Metric System is outlined, and we see how a system
of weights and measures, based on only seven fundamental
quantities, can be used as the basis of all science. We will soon
witness a redefinition of four of the seven fundamental quantities
upon which the SI is based. This change in how we all define a
number of fundamental quantities will not be subject to any
discussion or appeal, humanity will be presented with a fait
accompli. What will this mean for us?
