from the earliest attempts to quantify time, length, volume and temperature, to the modern measurement systems applied in physics and chemistry, through to mathematical models employed in the attempt to measure the infinity of space. Will the perfect measurement ever be achieved? Are intelligence, conscience or love quantifiable? What can we learn from measurement results? This book offers intriguing answers to questions that define our perception of space and time in our daily lives.
