Vocabulary: Unability to scale difference

[sfpublic]

What's the scientific word for this?

 

Like... not comparable in a sense.

[ajb]

If you can give us an example of this, it may make it more clear to us.

[sfpublic]

Imagine a big ball. It's made of a glass-like substance. Now, you aren't able to measure the scale of difference. What is the UNABILITY of the property to be measured to a scale of difference to?

 

What is the keyword?

[ajb]

I'm still not quite sure what you mean.

 

The word conformal means that there is no length scales involved, (roughly). Is that what you mean?

[Fuzzwood]

Difference in what?

[swansont]

I don't understand what "scale of difference" means. Can you rephrase this?

[sfpublic]

Difference as in change (of surface). Unability to be measured due to an explicit nature as if beyond us.

 

If it helps, don't think physics or relativity, think life.

 

I think the problem is, when I asked what it is[/b], you're thinking of and effect or something in-process inward or outward. Instead of a word, that describes just an inability to be measured.

[danny8522003]

immeasurable?

[Sisyphus]

You mean something that requires more precision than is possible? Or something fundamentally unquantifiable maybe?

[John Cuthber]

You can't talk about difference with only one example (a glass ball or whatever). That's the basis of the joke about the duck.

Difference between what and what?

[Davidwood15]

Sure it would just be immeasurable?
