About this Quote

This quote by Charles Francis Richter speaks with the value of refining scientific measurements over time. He is recommending that as researchers determine a phenomenon, they must continue to fine-tune their measurements in order to get a much better understanding of the phenomenon. This is because the more data that is gathered, the more accurate the measurements end up being. Refining measurements is an important part of the scientific procedure, as it enables scientists to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon they are studying. By refining measurements gradually, scientists can acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and can make more precise predictions about it. This quote highlights the importance of refining measurements in order to acquire a much better understanding of a phenomenon.
