Introduction
Abstract
Everyday we measure things. We look at our watches in order to keep track of time to avoid running too late; we look at the petrol level to know whether we can reach our destination with the available combustible; we measure our weight to check how much time should we spend in the gym; we look into our pockets to know whether we have enough money to buy something (or to know whether it is time to ask for a salary raise).
