- To prevent from having a circular definition, What techniques and equipment is used to measure the meter?
I understand that the meter is defined from the speed of light (distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second). But how did man measure this exact distance to this level of precision? With any apparatus, isn't there an unknown amount of bottleneck somewhere?
