Can we measure anything that cannot be defined in terms of time, distance, quantity, or direction?

mass?

>>8234985
I was under the impression that counting all of the particles something was made of would give the mass.

Complexity, entropy, curvature, radiation, resistance, viscosity, etc.

Complexity and entropy aren't really objective measurements, as far as I am aware.
Curvature can be defined using distance and direction.
Not sure which aspect of radiation you are referring to, but I believe it can be defined in terms of quantity and distance.
What kind of resistance are you talking about?
Viscosity can be defined in terms of distance and time.
>>
>>8234987
That would give the number of particles.
Amusingly if you count the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom and calculated the mass from the standard masses of those particles. You will always arrive at a figure greater than the actual mass of the atom.

Measuring the P N E was what I was talking about, do we know why that doesn't work?

ITT: OP learns about nuclear power
>>
>>8234975
Yes, you can measure intensity.

>Complexity and entropy aren't really objective measurements, as far as I am aware.
Abstract is the word you're looking for, not objective.

>Curvature can be defined using distance and direction.
What about 7D curvature?

>Not sure which aspect of radiation you are referring to, but I believe it can be defined in terms of quantity and distance.
How do you integrate randomness into that definition?

>What kind of resistance are you talking about?
Electrical.

>Viscosity can be defined in terms of distance and time.
Wrong because you need knowledge of chemistry.

Nuclear binding energy.
I.e why nuclear reactors work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit
Most units that we can measure are made out of these base.

So the answer to your question is yes.
You can measure things like ampere which is not defined in any of your terms.
>>
>>8235259
Amp is quantity of charge over time.

OP is missing mass, charge, color (strong nuclear) and other fundamental quantities like hypercharge. Those with what he listed is indeed all observables
