The Seven Measures of the World

Martin, Piero

Yale University Press, 2023

Összefoglaló

Piero Martin explores how scientific knowledge is built around seven measurements: meter, second, kilogram, kelvin, ampere, mole, and candela. In a series of vignettes, he tells the story of each unit and illustrates how accurate measurement is fundamental to our understanding of everything from black holes to black coffee.
