The fascinating stories behind the essential seven units of
measurement that allow us to understand the physical world
&,nbsp,“Entertaining popular science and a literate tale of why
things are as they are.”—Kirkus Reviews &,nbsp, From the
beginning of history, measurement has been interwoven into the
human experience, shaping our understanding of nature, personal
relationships, and the supernatural. We measure the world to know
our past, comprehend the present, and plan the future. &,nbsp,
Renowned physicist Piero Martin explores how scientific knowledge
is built around seven key pillars of measurement: the meter for
length, the second for time, the kilogram for mass, the kelvin for
temperature, the ampere for electricity, the mole for quantity of
substance, and the candela for luminous intensity.Martin examines
the history and function of these units and illustrates their
applications in rich vignettes on a range of topics—from quarks to
black holes, from a glass of wine to space exploration. He delves
into not only the all-important numbers but also anecdotes that
underline each unit’s special quality. At the same time, he
explains how each unit contributes to important aspects of science,
from classical physics to quantum mechanics, from relativity to
chemistry, from cosmology to elementary particle physics, and from
medicine to modern technology.Martin eloquently shows how the
entire universe can be measured and understood using just seven
units.
