"A modern scientist, measuring lengths in angstrom units and time in femtoseconds, might find himself more comfortable in third-millennium B.C. Egypt than in third-century B.C. Greece or even in 17th-century A.D. Italy," Teresi writes.
There are many different measures in our daily lives: we can measure length in meters or in yards; we can measure surfaces in square meters or acres; and we can measure volume in litres or gallons.
You'll need a tool that measures length in inches.

To do geometry, it was enough to be given a set of points and a way of measuring lengths along curves in the surface.
It is often difficult to measure length of sphincterotomy in clinical endoscopic procedure.
The article develops a coarse-grained model for the evolution of the intermaterial contact interface measure (length in 2d, area in 3d) in chaotic flows, starting from the global geometric properties characterizing these flows.
In the forthcoming, we measure length in units of cell length, which for the rod-shaped E. coli are of order 3 μm and for S. cerevisiae of order 5 10 μm.
