[MD] BBC IOT: THE MEASUREMENT PROBLEM IN PHYSICS

[Marsha, quoting the BBC]

Exactly. When science attributes an event to chance or relies on 
probability it admits, "We really don't know how or why."  Without 
measurement, science is lost. Yet the most meaningful things in life are 
immeasurable -- love, beauty, quality.
