The famous science fiction writer, world-renowned scientist, great popularizer of science, author of about 500 popular science, science fiction, detective, historical and humorous publications invites you to an exciting historical journey to the origins of the exact sciences. With the development of science and technology, the importance of units of measurement has grown steadily. This book tells about the path of their development from the time of ancient times to our days. Man, as the ancients believed, is himself a measure of all things. But in order to create order in the world, people had to measure everything. The first units of measurement were: fingers, elbows and feet. You'll learn why a foot equals the size of Charlemagne's foot, and the units in Britain and America are different from the meter-based European system. You can deal with the transfer of some units of measurement to others. You will understand the importance of the importance of uniform standards without which our civilization could not exist. Deal with the delicate matter of the relationships of various units of weight, volume, etc. Appreciate the great importance of the knowledge to which we owe Enstein, Planck and the contribution of other modern scientists in this area.
