Did You Know?

The metric system, used by most countries worldwide, was developed in France in the 1790s during the French Revolution. The United States is one of only three countries (along with Myanmar and Liberia) that haven't officially adopted the metric system, though it's used in scientific contexts. The Kelvin temperature scale is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature and starts at absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.
