Ofrecido por la Rep\u00fablica Francesa \u00aba todos loshombres y a todos los tiempos\u00bb, el metro se ha convertido, a los dos siglos desu creaci\u00f3n, en el se\u00f1or de la medida del mundo. La universalidad del sistemam\u00e9trico radica en su definici\u00f3n. La cuarta parte del meridiano terrestre, esdecir, la propia Tierra, se toma como unidad real, en tanto que como unidadusual se toma su diezmillon\u00e9sima parte: el metro. \u00a1Que ya no haya \u00abdospesos y dos medidas\u00bb!, ped\u00eda el pueblo en 1789. Yendo mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del deseoque expresaba esta petici\u00f3n, sabios y pol\u00edticos crearon un sistemaabsolutamente in\u00e9dito, que iba a cambiar la relaci\u00f3n de los hombres con lamedida del mundo. Unificaci\u00f3n de los pesos y medidas mediante el metro. Unificaci\u00f3ndel espacio mediante los departamentos, unificaci\u00f3n del tiempo con elcalendario, unificaci\u00f3n de la lengua francesa. La Declaraci\u00f3n de losderechos del hombre y del ciudadano hab\u00eda hecho a los hombres iguales ante laley; el sistema m\u00e9trico los hizo iguales ante la medida de las cosas. Igualdadpol\u00edtica, igualdad metrol\u00f3gica. La epopeya de la medici\u00f3n narra el encuentrosingular entre filosof\u00eda, pol\u00edtica y ciencias. Siguiendo el viaje a trav\u00e9s dela Revoluci\u00f3n desde los cuadernos deagravios hasta el golpe de Estado del 18 Brumario, El metro del mundo reconstruye la aventuraintelectual y humana que fue la medici\u00f3n del meridiano entre Dunkerque yBarcelona por los astr\u00f3nomos Pierre M\u00e9chain y Jean-Baptiste Delambre. Si hayuna \u00abmundializaci\u00f3n\u00bb conseguida, \u00e9sta es la que el metro ha realizado ennuestros d\u00edas. En 1988, Denis Guedj public\u00f3 la novela hist\u00f3rica La medida del Mundo, Elmeridiano. Doce a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, completa su visi\u00f3n de la aventura m\u00e9trica con el ensayo narrativo El metro delmundo. As\u00ed nos presenta dicho acontecimiento hist\u00f3rico bajo unadoble forma: novelada y divulgativa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denis Guedj<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[15115,5808,5807,5806],"product_tag":[5925],"class_list":["post-32231","product","type-product","status-publish","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-denis-guedj","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_tag-ciencias-naturales","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
