Show me what a ruler was before we invented it. We invented ALL measurement. inches don't exist to any other animal or plant, Just in our heads.

Like words. They AREN'T REAL. These don't mean anything. We are just psychotic animals interpreting it as something.

No, they are another measurement of space.

*sighs* I like you kid, I do. But can you give me a reason, some proof, that no distance or time is real?

I hardly would justify that as reasoning. Wooden frames swell, expanding and contracting with and without the home(which is made of materials with even different expansion rates than that of wood and or glass found in a standard window). They leak because glass is sharp and heavy, and the wooden frame keeps moving around...
Glass is super heated rock(sand) particles...it is very different from a liquid. If you wanna see some scary shit, check out the Hutchinson effect on solid iron bar. it looks like a stick of butter in the microwave from sonic transmission..

The glass as a liquid is an urban legend. http://dwb.unl.edu/Teacher/NSF/C01/C01Links/www.ualberta.ca/~bderksen/florin.html

Glass is a supercooled liquid. At ordinary temperatures it does not flow measurably even over centuries. The "old windows creep" concept has been dispelled as an urban legend. cn

inches, years, minutes, centimeters, are all very real measurements. Everything is relative to space/time. For our particular observation of space/time, these measurements cover most of the work that is necessary on earth to design and build structures. They are convenient in proportion to our eyes to make clear and accurate measurements. Althought the connection between space and time is difficult to comprehend, they are the same thing, however an inch or a centimeter obviously would not be the ideal increment of measurement for interplanetary travel.
Finshaggy, these measurements are only as real as the rest of the terminology we as human beings were taught to advance. I can assure you they are real, but yes we did as man, create this system, or these systems of measurement that we trust. Does is mean they are ideal? just like calendars, no. Space/time is every expanding and therefor these measurements will indefinitely become obsolete. As larger and smaller races and planets develop, as there is a universal bridge of society, a new measurement system will be proposed to our planet and widely accepted for its accuracy. It has already happened within our own planet time and time again.
The only reason heaphatus is asking the question about inches is because he is still insecure about his smaller than average penis, and needs to let go.

Glass as a supercooled liquid is part of the same urban legend (see link above). Glass is an amorphous solid.

I have reviewed the link and am doing a partial retraction. I stated that all amorphous solids are glasses - this is incorrect. However all vitreous (glassy) solids can properly be described as liquids supercooled to the point where they show no liquid properties. It becomes a dance of semantics ... but the definition I favor, and that the link does not refute, is that the only difference between liquid and glass is kinetic. Over a billion years typical window glass will display fluid motion, whereas most crystalline solids won't.

...this is an immeasurable thread...has anyone discussed where measurement started? I mean, the actual origins of measure?
It is cool to think that time 'is' measured in terms of radius at a quantum level. Looks like another path around the sun, so-to-speak.
