Actually, a more intriguing question than how to measure the
length of a meter independently is how to "measure" the speed
of light (or of anything else).  

Philosophically, speed is a somewhat more abstract entity than
distance.  Consider the endless debate over whether instantaneous
frequency (rate of change of phase angle of a sinusoidal waveform)
actually exists!

				Still intrigued,
