WHAT DOES MEASUREMENT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

measurement

Measurement

"Mensuration" redirects here. For the musical notation, see Mensural notation. Measurement is the assignment of numbers to objects or events. It is a cornerstone of most natural sciences, technology, economics, and quantitative research in other social sciences. Any measurement can be judged by the following meta-measurement criteria values: level of measurement, dimensions, and uncertainty. They enable comparisons to be done between different measurements and reduce confusion. Even in cases of clear qualitative similarity or difference, increased precision through quantitative measurement is often preferred in order to aid in replication. For example, different colours may be operationalized based either on wavelengths of light or terms such as "green" and "blue" which are often interpreted differently by different people. The science of measurement is called metrology. A typical tape measure with both metric and US units and two US pennies for comparison...

Marcus Garvey
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.

Jay Griffiths
The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals.

Jay Griffiths
Clearly, many branches of science need an exquisite precision of timekeeping and the infinitesimal decimals of calibration, so space launches, for example, are not scheduled for leap-second dates. But society as a whole neither needs that obsessive time measurement nor is well served by it.
