Is Quantification of Parameters Essential for Scientific Substantiation?

The Guest Editorial about quantifying quality by Sathyamurthy1 is highly pertinent in research disciplines. Currently all experimental results need to be projected in quantified measures. Various research fields such as nano, micro, small, medium, large and mega need to be examined from various angles of standardization or quantification. No uniform stick of quantification can be universally applied. For nano and micro-scale measurements one may be required to account for the Heisenberg uncertainty theorem during quantification. For smalland medium-scale measurements, the tolerance of accuracy level could be from Angstrom to a few millimetres. For large measurements such as roads of a few kilometres length, heavy and massive concreting, or displacement of water by a large cargo or passenger ship, quantification could be large. For mega-scale measurements such as astronomical distances in millions of light years, the error or tolerance could be as high as up to 50%. Such measurements are made at an interval of six months of the elliptic orbit of the earth.
