How to measure different types of matter (with slide-rule accuracy)

The concept of MATTER is interesting. What is even more interesting is the co-incidental name given to matter, as I would question whether matter really matters?.

Take the shortest distance between two points, from a physics point-of-view: This occurs (in a measurable way) at some atomic level, when in fact at a gigantic level where the universe is possibly part of another sub-atomic world, you couldn't get the point of a needle between the sun and the earth!!.. Hence, the measurement systems we take as absolute, are in fact relative..  Relative to the tolerances accepted between the two "points" and distance system in between being measured!..  "Food for thought this Christmas"
