Why does
Measurment matter?

Slide 3 - Slide

Make everyone look around, with the question — what around us has been measured or has to do with measurement?

Why does measurment matter to us?

2000 years ago philosophers gave birth to the idea of rationality. That the world around us works in ways that can be understood, and that there is a causality behind everything. Cause and effect. With this came the idea that the world can be understood. This is the basis of the modern world view. That things work in certain ways, and that through investigating the world we can come to understand these ways. And this allows us to create a better life, a better society, a better world. These processes, we found out are very complicated and to investigate them we have to know how long the things involved are, how much time things take, their mass, the forces acting on them and much more. And this is where measurment comes in. 

So measurment matters because measurment is an integral part of coming to understand how everything works.
