Abstract
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” Einstein
By definition, the mysterious is impossible to measure. If one wants to be clear, it helps to use agreed-upon standards of measure. Of what may be measured, we need balance between what is easily measured and what is very difficult to measure. That which is easily measured is frequently obvious and sometimes inconsequential.
