...from Wikipedia!In science, measurement is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity, such as length or mass, relative to a unit of measurement, such as a meter or a kilogram. The term can also be used to refer to the result obtained after performing the process....whereas in the early and most historic eras, the units were given by fiat (See Statutory law) by the ruling entities and were not necessarily well inter-related or self-consistent.Although we might suggest that the Egyptians had discovered the art of measurement, it is really only with the Greeks that the science of measurement begins to appear. The Greeks' knowledge of geometry, and their early experimentation with weights and measures, soon began to place their measurement system on a more scientific basis. By comparison, Roman science, which came later, was not as advanced.Natural units are physical units of measurement defined in terms of universal physical constants in such a manner that some chosen physical constants take on the numerical value of one when expressed in terms of a particular set of natural units.The weight of an elephant. It is often used as a unit of weight in popular books about very big animals such as dinosaurs.The first known description and practical use of a physical pendulum is by Galileo Galilei, however, Flinders Petrie, a disciple of Smyth, is of the opinion that it was used earlier by the ancient Egyptians. Writing in an article in Nature, 1933 Petrie says:If we take the natural standard of one day divided by 105, the pendulum would be 29.157 inches at lat 30 degrees. Now this is exactly the basis of Egyptian land measures, most precisely known through the diagonal of that squared, being the Egyptian double cubit. The value for this cubit is 20.617 inches, while the best examples in stone are 20.620±0.005inches.No explanation is offered as to why no Egyptian pendulums have been found, despite the extremely rich archeological material from this culture, nor to the question as to why none of the rich historic material from Egypt mentions this.On an arid, desolate plateau in Northern Africa lies arguably the most incredibly precise structure in the world. A design so perfect that many have thought only a deity could have created it. A memory of an improbable and distant past held fast in granite and limestone, yet at the very same time a massive and enduring signpost to the future. For centuries the pyramids of Egypt have created more debate and more controversy than just about any other structures on Earth. From the now distant Herodotus to the more recent Petrie, Borchardt, Reisner, Jequier, Vyse and Perring, Firth, Quibell, Taylor, Piazzi Smyth, Edgar Stewart and Morton Edgar,(this is very much a short list) all have contributed. Some, indeed most, would have devoted their whole lives to solving this riddle of the ages. Yet, as is sadly common in most human endeavour of a controversial nature, very little consensus has ultimately emerged.However because of the intense and one might say even furious activity that has surrounded the exploration and examination of these relics of the distant past one undeniable truth that has emerged. That reality is that the actual dimensions of the Great Pyramid are no longer in any question. The purpose and intent of the Great Pyramid may still lie shrouded in mystery but its actual measurements are now so refined that there cannot be any question about them. The repeated efforts of a cavalcade of experts over nearly two centuries has made the dimensions of the Great Pyramid now a fully documented and undeniable fact. It is with these irrefutable determinations that the writer intends to establish his case. It is not intended to enter into any of the many debates about the pyramid but instead to present a rationalisation based on a simple and seemingly undeniable argument. An argument that stems solely from the absolute veracity of the measurements now so specifically established.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_of_measurementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscientific_metrologyhttp://www.biblebelievers.org.au/pyramid.htm
