Abstract
How do you measure things? There are just four parameters to measure everything measurable in this universe. One is number, second is weight or mass, third length or distance and fourth is time. Out of these, last three are called fundamental parameters. Mankind has learnt to measure the universe by these parameters till today. There is nothing else to measure. Rest all, like temperature, work, energy and electrical power is measuring any one out of three fundamentals or a combination of any two or all three. We measure a circular displacement by an angle and temperature by vibration of molecules of mercury which in turn causes the mercury to expand. All this is basically counting three fundamental values in relation to each other. Concluding these opening words, Indus civilization was most accurate in their measurement of weight, length and angles. The other contemporary civilizations were Andes, Mesopotamia and that of Nile. Greek work is a story of later days
