The Pirates Who Stole The Metric System (And Ruined Everything)

In 1999, NASA burned $125 million in the blink of an eye. The Mars Climate Orbiter disintegrated not because of a complex failure, but because of a simple math error: one team used Imperial units, and the other used Metric. 🚀💥 But this story isn't just about math. The history of the Metric System is a saga of beheadings, secret errors, and bad luck. Did you know the United States actually wanted to go metric in 1793? In this episode of Unseen, we uncover the bizarre true story of the French scientist Joseph Dombey, whose ship was blown off course into the hands of Caribbean pirates. Those pirates stole the standard kilogram and meter that were destined for Thomas Jefferson, changing the course of American history forever. 🏴‍☠️ We also dive into the vault in Paris to see "Le Grand K"—the metal cylinder that ruled the world for 130 years—and how quantum physics finally saved our definition of reality. // ABOUT UNSEEN Welcome to unseen, your guide to the genius hidden in everyday objects.
