Throughout history, humans have made sense
of the physical world by describing it in terms of
quantities such as length, mass, and time. Ancient
civilizations developed many ways of measuring these
quantities, culminating in the standard units we are
familiar with today, such as inches, pounds, and
seconds. The modern world possesses instruments
that can measure these quantities to an extremely
high level of accuracy. Standardization creates a
common language, while accuracy gives confidence
that outcomes are reliable and predictable.
