MEASUREMENT+AND+YOU

In this week's discussion, introduce a topic about units, how things are measured, the size of the universe--anything relating to measurement. The actual topic is up to you--the only criteria is that it has to do with measurement.

Include a quote from the reading you did and integrate it into your post.

Some potential topic ideas (can you think of others?):

1) should the US go metric? 2) the importance of accurate measurements 3) atoms to universe--the grand scale of it all 4) Royale with Cheese: measurement in popular culture 5) personal story--a recipe you (or someone you know) messed up, how you feel about measurement, etc

Initial posts are due by Thursday. Responses are due by the following Monday.
