The book explores the measurement problem of cosmology, highlighting the challenges in understanding the relationship between the universe's structure and the distribution of matter and energy. It critiques existing interpretations and emphasizes the need for a clearer understanding of this problem, drawing on both historical perspectives, like A.N. Whitehead's contributions, and contemporary theories. By addressing these complexities, the author aims to illuminate potential solutions and enhance our comprehension of cosmological measurements.

A lot of thought goes into making Hollywood films and television series. The best artists of the twentieth century chose this medium over the arts they would have practiced in previous centuries --the painters, sculptors, writers, musicians, actors, and most of all the director, the master auteur, packed up their gear and went west. As time has gone on, television and movie-making converged into one huge canvas for all that creative thinking. Let's think about some of the best things that got thunk in the last hundred years, see if we can uncover the deeper layers of that thinking and sling a little philosophy at the screen.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity links the metrical structure of the cosmic order (or „cosmology“) to the contingent distributions of matter and energy throughout the universe, one of the chief areas of investigation in astrophysics. However, presently we have neither devised nor discovered system of uniform relations whereby we can make our cosmological measurements intelligible. This is „the measurement problem of cosmology.“ Using both historical ideas (such as A. N. Whitehead's work in the 1920s) and contemporary evidence and theories, argue that the measurement problem has neither been fully understood nor rightly interpreted. With better grasp of this problem, such as am attempting to provide, the prospects for solution look brighter.
