Would We Be Able To Fight Wars Without Measurement?
Letting one nation take over the worl is not something anybody really wants which is why some wars like WW2 simply had to happen. Without measurement would it have been possible for us and many other people to have come out of a battle winning?
Tactics/ Planning
Measurement comes straight in at the planning stages. How many people are on the opposing sides force, do we have the firepower to defeat them and have they good any weaknesses? Walking into a battle blind is what you would be doing if the generals had not carefully used measurement to plan the first wave of attack. One of the best strategies even created was of course Hitler’s Blitzkrieg (lightning war). Basically Hitler used a combination of all of his forces, tanks, infantry, artillery, aircraft and deployed them all at rapid speed, this actually very quickly broke the enemy lines and meant they did not have to worry about flanking.
Weapons
Sometimes measurement is important when it comes to weapons and the most important one I can think of is the development of the nuclear bomb. All kinds of measurements were used and are still used today such as level measurement and level transmitters. On top of this many weapons since the cannon would not have been able to have been fired if it wasn’t for careful calculations and measurements.
The worryingly thing is that these measurements are getting easier to predict with the current weapons we have thanks to the computers we now use. On the plus side this means a bomb detonated by an ally will hit the target with no civilian casualties but from a terrorist there could be some real public losses.
