Your modesty is becoming, however...measurement was at the heart of Kepler's contributions (if I understand this correctly)

After Tycho died, Kepler used his measurements to improve Copernicus's theory of the Universe

And I remember reading about Marie Curie, and how she painstakingly measured minute quantities of pitchblende in her radium studies.

The importance of accurate measurement cannot be overstated. So, yes, you've put another link in the chain that reaches back to first inquiring ancients who looked up into the skies. Advancing wonderment to understanding required measurement, accurate measurement. Forgive me for being impressed by your work :)

I will read that paper and ask questions if I understand enough to do that :))
