Understanding Metric Engineering: Demystifying the Concept of Modifying Metrics

[kleinwolf]

I read someday this job name on the net. I didn't looked inside, but just thought how you could modify the metric...i could only think about the following esoterical method : by matter+antimatter->nomatter+energy..but energy->GR->spacetime metric--->metric engineering ?? Is this meant by this term, or something else ?

That does seem to be the context -

I haven't checked the physics - but I am ususally skeptical of such claims.

and here - The Challenge To Create The Space Drive - http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/bpp/TM-107289.htm
Well someone at NASA is serious - but again I am usually skeptical.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the concept of Metric Engineering. Metric Engineering is a term used in the field of measurement and data analysis, specifically in the context of modifying or creating new metrics to better understand and analyze data. It involves using statistical techniques and mathematical models to manipulate and transform data into more meaningful and useful metrics.

While your idea of using matter and antimatter to modify metrics is interesting, it is not the approach typically used in the field of Metric Engineering. Instead, it involves more practical and data-driven methods such as data normalization, standardization, and aggregation. These techniques help in eliminating biases and inconsistencies in data, making it easier to interpret and compare.

I hope this helps in demystifying the concept of Metric Engineering for you. It is an important tool in the world of data analysis and plays a crucial role in helping organizations make informed decisions based on reliable and accurate data.
